RedLightBenefits.org ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
RedLightBenefits.org does not require account registration, and we do not collect names, email addresses, or payment information directly. If you contact us via email, we receive whatever information you choose to include in your message.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our server and analytics tools may collect standard technical data when you visit, including:
- Your browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring URL (the site that sent you here)
- General geographic location (country or region level — not precise location)
- IP address (used for analytics aggregation; not stored persistently in identifiable form)
This data is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use the site and to improve our content. It is not used to personally identify you.
2. Cookies & Consent
Cookies are small data files stored in your browser. We operate on a consent-first basis: when you first visit, you'll see a cookie banner asking you to Accept or Reject analytics cookies. Until you click Accept, no analytics cookies are set.
The cookies we may set, only after you consent:
- Google Analytics 4 (
_ga,_ga_Q1MLYKVQP1): first-party cookies set by Google Analytics to measure aggregate site traffic and usage patterns. We use Google Consent Mode v2, withanalytics_storagedefaulting to denied; IP addresses are anonymized; advertising cookies (ad_storage,ad_user_data,ad_personalization) remain denied at all times. Typical lifespan:_ga2 years,_ga_*2 years. - Consent record (
rlb_consent, localStorage): a small value stored in your browser to remember your cookie choice (granted or denied) so we don't ask again on every visit. This is essential for the consent system to function. - Affiliate tracking (third-party): when you click an affiliate link (such as an Amazon link), the retailer may set cookies on their site to track the referral. RedLightBenefits.org does not control these cookies — they are governed by the respective retailer's privacy policy.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the site footer, or by clearing your browser's site data for this domain. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking site-wide using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We do not use cookies for advertising, retargeting, or to build a personalized profile of you.
3. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Services
RedLightBenefits.org participates in affiliate advertising programs. When you click a link to Amazon.com or other retailers and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate links are tracked using retailer-provided identifiers (such as our Amazon affiliate tag redlightbenef-20). Click tracking occurs on the retailer's platform, not on ours, and is subject to Amazon's Privacy Notice and the respective retailer's policies.
We have no access to your purchase details, payment information, or Amazon account data as a result of affiliate participation.
4. Third-Party Analytics
We may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand traffic patterns on this site. These services may use cookies and collect IP addresses. Google Analytics data is stored by Google according to their Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google Fonts are loaded from Google's servers to render the site's typography. Google may log the font request, including your IP address, in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
- Understand how visitors navigate and use the site
- Improve content quality and site performance
- Monitor and address technical issues
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
6. Data Retention
Server log data is retained for a limited period for security and performance monitoring purposes, then deleted or anonymized. Analytics data is retained as configured within the analytics platform (typically up to 26 months for Google Analytics, unless adjusted).
7. Children's Privacy
RedLightBenefits.org is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
8. External Links
Our site contains links to external websites, including product listings on Amazon and other retailers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit through a link from our pages.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data under applicable privacy laws (such as GDPR for EU residents or CCPA for California residents). Since we collect minimal personal data and do not sell it, many of these rights may be satisfied by default. If you would like to exercise a specific right — such as requesting information about data we may hold related to your IP or email — please contact us using the information below.
10. Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect this website and the data associated with it. Our site is served over HTTPS, which encrypts data in transit between your browser and our servers. However, no internet transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
