Welcome to There Invent Store (“we”, “us”, “our”), an Amazon affiliate blog and website that also features Google AdSense ads and participates in general affiliate programs. Our website address is https://thereinventstore.com/, and our support email is support@thereinventstore.com.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect two types of information about you: personal information and non-personal information.

1.1 Personal Information

Personal information is data that can be used to identify you individually. We may collect personal information only if you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when:

• You subscribe to our newsletter (if available).
• You leave a comment on our blog posts.
• You contact us via email (using support@thereinventstore.com) or through our website’s contact form (if available).
• You participate in surveys, contests, or promotions hosted on our website (if offered).

Examples of personal information we may collect include your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share with us.

1.2 Non-Personal Information

Non-personal information is data that cannot be used to identify you. We (and our third-party service providers, such as Google AdSense and Amazon Associates) may automatically collect this information when you visit our website, including:

• Your IP address (a unique number assigned to your device).
• Your device type (e.g., smartphone, laptop), operating system, and browser type.
• Pages you visit on our website, the time and date of your visit, and the amount of time you spend on each page.
• Links you click on (including affiliate links to Amazon or other partner sites).
• Referral source (how you found our website, e.g., a search engine, social media, or another website).

This information is collected using cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies (see Section 2 for more details).

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and other tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze website traffic, and support our affiliate and advertising activities (e.g., Google AdSense and Amazon Associates).

• Cookies: Small text files stored on your device that remember your preferences and browsing behavior. You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies, but this may limit some features of our website (e.g., personalized ads or affiliate link tracking).
• Web Beacons: Tiny graphics embedded in web pages or emails that track user activity (e.g., whether you viewed an ad or clicked an affiliate link).
• Third-Party Tracking: Google AdSense and Amazon Associates may use their own cookies and tracking tools to collect non-personal information about your interactions with ads and affiliate links. Their use of this information is governed by their own privacy policies (see Section 5).

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Operate Our Website: Maintain and improve the functionality of our blog, including updating content (e.g., Amazon affiliate product reviews like “Best Glass Buffing Compound 2025”) and fixing technical issues.
• To Manage Affiliate Activities: Track clicks on Amazon affiliate links and other affiliate program links to ensure we receive proper commission for qualifying purchases. This requires collecting non-personal data (e.g., IP address, referral source) as required by our affiliate partners.
• To Deliver Ads: Work with Google AdSense to display relevant ads on our website. Google AdSense uses non-personal information to tailor ads to your interests (e.g., based on pages you’ve visited).
• To Communicate With You: Respond to your emails or comments, send newsletter updates (if you subscribed), and notify you about contests or promotions (if applicable).
• To Analyze Website Performance: Understand how users interact with our website (e.g., which blog posts are most popular) to improve content and user experience.
• To Comply With Legal Obligations: Use or disclose information as required by law, such as responding to subpoenas or government requests.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Affiliate Partners: We share non-personal information (e.g., click data, IP address) with Amazon Associates and other affiliate program providers to track affiliate activity and process commissions. These partners do not have access to your personal information unless you provide it directly to them (e.g., when making a purchase on Amazon).
• Advertising Partners: We share non-personal information with Google AdSense to enable the display of targeted ads. Google AdSense’s use of this information is subject to their Privacy Policy (see Section 5).
• Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers who help us operate our website (e.g., web hosting providers, email marketing tools). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only to perform services for us.
• Legal Disclosures: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
• Business Transfers: If we sell, merge, or transfer all or part of our business, we may share your information with the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. You will be notified via our website or email if such a transfer occurs.

5. Third-Party Privacy Policies
