ErgoDeskHub (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates ergodeskhub.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information about you when you visit the Site, subscribe to our newsletter, submit our contact form, or otherwise interact with our content.

We are committed to your right to privacy. If you have any questions about this policy or our practices, contact us at [email protected] — we respond to all privacy inquiries within 5 business days.

By using our Site, you agree to data collection and use as described here. This policy applies to all visitors, subscribers, and contact form users of ergodeskhub.com.

Information you give us voluntarily

• Email address — when subscribing to our newsletter or downloading a free resource
• Name — optionally provided during email signup or via the contact form
• Message content — when you submit our contact form
• Comments — name, email, and comment text when you post on an article

What we do NOT collect

• Payment or financial information — all purchases go through Amazon or other retailers directly
• Government-issued ID, passport, or social security numbers
• Precise GPS-level geolocation data
• Health or medical records

When you visit ErgoDeskHub, certain information is collected automatically to help us improve the site and understand how readers use it.

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. Here is every cookie ErgoDeskHub uses:

• To operate the Site — serving pages, maintaining security, and fixing technical issues
• To send newsletters — only to subscribers who explicitly opted in
• To improve content — analyzing which articles help readers so we know what to write and update
• To respond to inquiries — replying to contact form submissions and emails
• To process affiliate commissions — tracking link clicks for commission attribution
• To comply with legal obligations — retaining records as required by law

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Data is shared only with these service providers, and only to the minimum extent necessary to operate the Site:

We may also disclose data if required by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights and safety of ErgoDeskHub or our readers.

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we collect your email address (and optionally your name) via ConvertKit. You will receive periodic emails containing new reviews, buying guides, ergonomic tips, and product deals.

• Unsubscribe at any time via the one-click link at the bottom of every email
• We email 1–4 times per month on an irregular schedule
• We never share your email address with brands or advertisers for their marketing use
• Subscription confirmation emails are transactional and require no extra consent

When you click an affiliate link and land on Amazon or another retailer, that retailer places their own cookies on your device and processes your data under their own privacy policy — not ours. We have no access to or control over their data about you.

We track affiliate link clicks internally via Pretty Links to understand which product content is most useful to readers. This records which link was clicked and when — it contains no personally identifiable information.

• Email subscribers — until you unsubscribe. Removed from active lists within 30 days of unsubscribing
• Contact form submissions — up to 12 months, then permanently deleted
• Google Analytics data — 14 months per our configuration, then auto-deleted by Google
• Server logs — 30–90 days by our hosting provider, then automatically purged
• Article comments — retained indefinitely unless you request deletion or we remove them

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers (SSL/TLS)
• Cloudflare protection against DDoS attacks and malicious traffic
• Regular WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates to patch security vulnerabilities
• Strong password policies and two-factor authentication on all admin accounts
• Regular automated off-site backups of all site data

ErgoDeskHub is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. Our content covers adult home office purchasing decisions.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information to us, email [email protected] and we will delete it promptly upon verification.

Regardless of your location, you hold the following rights over your personal data:

To exercise any right, email [email protected] with “Privacy Request” in the subject line. We respond within 30 days and may verify your identity first.

In the past 12 months, ErgoDeskHub has collected the following categories of personal information from California consumers:

• Identifiers — email and name from newsletter subscribers and contact form users
• Internet activity — browsing behavior collected via Google Analytics
• Inferences — product interest categories derived from pages visited, used internally for content planning only

Our legal bases for processing personal data under GDPR:

• Consent — for newsletter subscriptions and email communications
• Legitimate interests — for site analytics and security
• Legal obligation — where law requires us to retain records

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or the services we use. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and — where appropriate — communicated to newsletter subscribers via email.

Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you disagree with any changes, discontinue use of the Site and unsubscribe from our email list.

For any privacy questions, data subject requests, or concerns about how we handle your information:

This Privacy Policy together with our Terms of Service and Affiliate Disclosure forms the complete legal framework governing use of ErgoDeskHub.
