Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for SoloPicked — what we collect on this editorial affiliate site, how we use it, and your choices.
Nov 4, 2026

Introduction

SoloPicked ("we", "us", or "our") is an independent editorial website that publishes research-based reviews and comparisons of SaaS tools for creators and solopreneurs. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you visit SoloPicked, how we use it, and the choices you may have.

By using SoloPicked, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Effective date: November 4, 2026 (Asia/Taipei).

Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with the site, we may collect:

  1. Contact information you send us

    • Examples: name, email address, and message content when you email pangdiao2026@gmail.com.
    • Purpose: respond to inquiries, corrections, and partnership requests.

  2. Usage and log data

    • Examples: IP address, browser type, device type, approximate location derived from IP, pages viewed, referrer URL, and timestamps.
    • Purpose: security, abuse prevention, reliability, and understanding which articles are useful.

  3. Cookies and similar technologies

    • Examples: essential cookies, preference cookies, and analytics or advertising cookies if enabled.
    • Purpose: keep the site working, remember preferences, measure traffic, and (if we enable ads later) support advertising.

  4. Affiliate click data

    • When you click an affiliate link, the destination network or vendor may set cookies or record that the click came from SoloPicked. That tracking is governed by the affiliate network's and vendor's own policies. Systeme.io links are live affiliate links today. For tools whose affiliate programs are not approved yet, our CTAs point to the vendor's official homepage as plain, non-tracking outbound links — no placeholder href="#" links and no invented tracking IDs.

We do not currently require you to create a SoloPicked account to read articles. If account features are added later, we will update this policy.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve SoloPicked
  • Respond to emails and correction requests
  • Measure content performance and fix broken pages
  • Detect abuse, spam, and security incidents
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Where disclosed, participate in affiliate programs (commissions are paid by partners; we do not sell your personal inbox contents)

Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third parties for:

  • Hosting and CDN (for example Vercel and/or Cloudflare)
  • Analytics (if enabled)
  • Email (to receive and send replies)
  • Advertising networks (only if we enable ads; we prefer controllable networks and will update this policy if ads go live)
  • Affiliate networks and SaaS vendors when you click outbound links

Those providers process data under their own terms and privacy policies.

Analytics and Advertising

If we enable analytics (for example privacy-oriented or standard web analytics), aggregated traffic metrics help us decide what to write next.

If we enable display advertising in the future, ad partners may use cookies or similar IDs. We will not knowingly use intrusive formats that hijack navigation (for example unexpected pop-unders) as a default monetization tactic. Any material change will be reflected here and, where appropriate, in on-page notices.

Some outbound product links may be affiliate links. Clicking them may allow a partner to know you arrived from SoloPicked. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as reasonably needed to:

  • Respond to your request
  • Operate and secure the site
  • Meet legal, accounting, or dispute-resolution needs

Server logs are typically retained for a limited operational window unless needed for security investigations.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate for a content site (access controls, HTTPS where configured, least-privilege hosting practices). No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure.

Children's Privacy

SoloPicked is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

International Access

SoloPicked may be accessed from many countries. Information may be processed in locations where data protection laws differ from those where you live (including the United States, depending on hosting). By using the site, you understand that transfer may occur as needed to operate the service.

Your Choices

  • You can browse without emailing us.
  • You can control cookies through your browser settings (blocking some cookies may affect site features).
  • You can ask us what personal data we hold from your emails, and request deletion of correspondence we no longer need to retain, by contacting us.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above and posting the revised version on this page.
