Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The PC Geek (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “The PC Geek.com”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our site.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

If you contact us through a form, email, or comment, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and time spent on the site. This is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences
  • Understand how visitors use our site (analytics)
  • Track referrals for our affiliate partnerships, including the Amazon Associates program

When you click an affiliate link to Amazon or another retailer, that retailer may set its own cookies on your device to track the referral and attribute any resulting purchase to us. We do not control these third-party cookies — they are governed by the retailer’s own privacy policy.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may affect how parts of the site function.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services that collect data on our behalf, including:

  • Amazon Associates — for affiliate link tracking and commission attribution. See Amazon’s Privacy Notice.
  • Web analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) — to understand site traffic and usage patterns.
  • Hosting and content delivery providers — to serve the site reliably.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data. We encourage you to review those policies.

How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the site
  • Respond to your inquiries
  • Analyze site traffic and content performance
  • Attribute affiliate purchases correctly

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to opt out of certain data collection (such as cookies). To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Children’s Privacy

The PC Geek is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
