Privacy Policy

Who We Are

StackScored (stackscored.com) is an affiliate marketing content site operated by a sole proprietor. We publish product reviews, pricing comparisons, and interactive tools for software and technology products.

For privacy inquiries, contact us at [email protected].

What Data We Collect

Almost nothing. Here is what our infrastructure processes:

Cloudflare Web Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is a cookie-less, privacy-first analytics service. It does not use cookies, does not track individuals, does not collect IP addresses, and does not build user profiles. It measures aggregate page views and performance metrics only.

Because Cloudflare Web Analytics does not process personal data or use cookies, no consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3) or GDPR Art. 6-7.

Cloudflare CDN

Our site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes standard HTTP request data (IP address, user agent, request URL) for the purpose of delivering web pages, protecting against attacks, and maintaining service performance. This processing is governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. Cloudflare acts as a data processor on our behalf for this infrastructure function.

What We Do Not Collect

• No cookies of any kind (no tracking, no session, no preference cookies)
• No user accounts or registration
• No email addresses
• No payment or financial information
• No contact forms
• No tracking pixels or third-party advertising scripts
• No fingerprinting or cross-site tracking

Affiliate Links

Our site contains affiliate links to third-party vendor websites. When you click an affiliate link, you leave StackScored and are redirected to the vendor's website. The vendor's privacy policy governs any data collected after you leave our site. We have no control over and no responsibility for the privacy practices of these third-party sites.

Affiliate links may contain tracking parameters (such as a referral ID) that allow the vendor to attribute a purchase to our site. These parameters identify our site as the referral source — not you as an individual.

Legal Basis for Processing

To the extent any processing occurs (Cloudflare CDN infrastructure), our legal basis under GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) is legitimate interest: delivering a functional website and protecting it from abuse. We do not process personal data for marketing, profiling, or any purpose beyond serving web pages.

Data Retention

We do not store personal data ourselves. Cloudflare retains HTTP log data according to their own retention policies (typically up to 72 hours for security logs). Cloudflare Web Analytics stores only aggregate, non-personal statistics.

International Data Transfers

Cloudflare operates globally and may process request data in various countries. Cloudflare uses Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other approved transfer mechanisms for data transfers outside the EEA and UK. See Cloudflare's DPA for details.

Your Rights

Because we collect virtually no personal data, most data subject rights have limited practical application. However, you retain all rights granted by your jurisdiction's data protection laws:

European Economic Area and UK

Under GDPR Art. 15-22 and UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (e.g., your country's Data Protection Authority, or the UK Information Commissioner's Office).

Brazil

Under LGPD Art. 18, you have the right to confirmation of processing, access, correction, anonymization, portability, deletion, and information about sharing. Complaints may be filed with the ANPD (Autoridade Nacional de Protecao de Dados).

California, United States

Under the CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code Sec. 1798.100-199), California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected and to request deletion. We do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

India

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, Sec. 6, you have the right to information about processing, correction, and erasure of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected]. Given that we hold no personal data, our response will typically confirm that we have no data to disclose, correct, or delete.

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. Since we collect no personal data from any visitor, this concern is moot in practice.

Data Processors

Cloudflare discloses its own sub-processors at cloudflare.com/cloudflare-customer-sub-processors.

Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Since we collect no email addresses, we cannot notify you directly — please check this page periodically. Material changes (such as starting to collect personal data) will be prominently noted.
