Privacy Policy

Last updated November 6, 2026

We collect as little as possible. You don't need an account to use TheStainExpert.com, and we never ask for payment details.

Information we collect

We don't collect your name, address or payment details. If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply and to fix the guide you wrote about, and we don't add you to any mailing list.

Search

The search box runs entirely in your browser. What you type is not sent to us or stored.

Hosting and server logs

Like any website, our hosting provider may record standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, to keep the site secure and working. These logs are not used to identify you.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to see which guides are read, so we know what to improve. If we do, it will be aggregate data only, and this page will name the service before it goes live.

Cookies and affiliate links

TheStainExpert.com itself does not set advertising cookies. When you click a link to Amazon, Amazon may set cookies to record that you came from our site, so a qualifying purchase can be credited to us. Amazon's use of that data is covered by Amazon's own privacy notice.

Links to other sites

Our guides link to their sources and to retailers. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which we don't control.

Children

TheStainExpert.com is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above. Questions? Contact us.
