Privacy Notice

Version 2026 — covering detectoratlas.com and every page published on it.

Who you are dealing with

The publisher of Detector Atlas is the controller of whatever personal data this site processes, and there is no parent company behind it. The site runs without accounts, logins or a comment system, which is why the list below is as short as it is. Requests about your data go through our contact page.

How is this site paid for?

Partly through affiliate links. When a link points to a retailer or a service and you buy something after clicking it, we may receive a commission — the price you pay is the same either way. We decide what to cover and what to recommend before anyone pays us anything.

What we collect

Reading this site requires no account, no login and no personal detail from you. Like every website, the host that delivers these pages processes the technical data your browser sends with each request — IP address, user agent, page requested, timestamp — to serve the page and block abuse. We do not use those logs to build a profile of you. The only thing you can hand us on purpose is your email address, and only if you type it into a signup form here.

Buying a guide

The payment runs through our processor, so your card number is theirs to hold and not ours. What reaches us is the order and an email address, which is what delivery and bookkeeping need.

If you subscribe

We hold an email address only when you chose to give it, and we use it for the thing you asked for. It is not for sale at any price. Unsubscribing is one link in any message we send, and it takes effect at once.

About cookies

Cookies here are limited to what the site needs in order to function. Nothing is set for advertising, and nothing follows you onto other sites.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask us to delete it — write to us and we do it. If you are in the EU or the UK, that is the GDPR; if you are in California, the CCPA gives you the same practical rights, including the right not to have personal information sold. We do not sell it to anyone.

Processors, transfers and how long we keep things

Hosting, payments and email are run by third-party providers acting on our instructions and nothing more. That can mean data crossing a border, covered by standard contractual clauses. Email addresses stay until you leave the list; order records stay as long as the tax rules say and no longer.

Children

This site is written for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has sent us something, tell us through our contact page and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

When the way we handle data changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves. There is no announcement list, so the date is the record.
