Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information The Daily Staple ("we," "us," "our") collects when you visit thedailystaple.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Who we are

The Daily Staple is a personal review and recommendation website focused on everyday essential products available on Amazon. We earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through our affiliate links (see our Affiliate Disclosure for details).

For privacy-related questions, contact us at hello@thedailystaple.com.

2. Information we collect

We collect two general types of information:

a) Information you give us directly

• Email address — if you sign up for our newsletter or contact us through a form
• Name and message content — if you submit a contact form, leave a comment, or reply to an email

b) Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies:

• Usage data — pages viewed, time on page, referring URL, and clicks
• Device and browser information — device type, operating system, browser type, and screen size
• Approximate location — derived from your IP address (typically city/region level)
• Affiliate referral data — when you click an Amazon link, Amazon sets cookies to attribute any purchase to The Daily Staple

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate and improve the Site and our content
• Understand which articles, products, and topics resonate with our readers
• Send newsletter emails (only if you've opted in) and respond to messages you send us
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, spam, and abuse
• Earn commissions from qualifying Amazon purchases through affiliate links
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies and tracking technologies

The Daily Staple uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to deliver a working website and understand how it's used. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

Categories of cookies used on the Site:

• Essential cookies — required for the Site to function (e.g., session cookies)
• Analytics cookies — help us understand visitor behavior in aggregate (e.g., Google Analytics)
• Affiliate / third-party cookies — set by Amazon when you click an affiliate link, so Amazon can credit any resulting purchase to us
• Social platform cookies — Pinterest, and similar platforms may set cookies if you interact with embedded content

You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect Site functionality.

5. Third-party services we use

We rely on trusted third-party services to operate the Site. Each one has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data:

• Hostinger — web hosting provider (privacy policy)
• Amazon Associates — affiliate program partner (privacy notice)
• Google Analytics — anonymized traffic measurement (privacy policy)
• Pinterest — when you click through from a pin, or interact with Pinterest content on our Site (privacy policy)
• Email newsletter provider — if you sign up for our newsletter, your email is stored with our email service provider; you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email

If we add or change major third-party services, we'll update this Policy.

6. Amazon affiliate links — what to know

The Daily Staple is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon link on our Site, Amazon sets cookies on your browser. If you make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

The cookies Amazon sets, and any personal data collected by Amazon, are governed by Amazon's privacy policy — not ours. We do not see your Amazon account, payment information, or order details.

7. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information:

If you are in the European Union or United Kingdom (GDPR)

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time (e.g., unsubscribe from emails)
• File a complaint with your local data protection authority

If you are in California (CCPA / CPRA)

You have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect about you
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (note: we do not sell personal information)
• Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@thedailystaple.com. We'll respond within the time periods required by applicable law.

9. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscribers stay on our list until they unsubscribe. Contact form messages are typically retained for up to 2 years for follow-up and reference, then deleted.

10. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect, including HTTPS encryption and using reputable third-party providers. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we will notify you of a material data breach where required by law.

11. Links to other websites

The Site contains links to third-party websites (Amazon, Pinterest, and others). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated more prominently (e.g., a banner on the Site or a notice to email subscribers).
