Welcome to our Zazzle Search tool ("Service"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website.
Information We Collect
We strive to minimize data collection. The information potentially processed includes:
Search Queries: The search terms you enter are transmitted to our server to facilitate the search request to the Zazzle RSS feed. We do not store these search terms permanently or associate them with any individual user identifiers after the request is processed.
Affiliate Information: When you click on a product result link containing our affiliate ID (238205239460809726), Zazzle's systems may record that the click originated from our referral. Zazzle's own privacy policy governs the data they collect. We may receive aggregated, anonymized reports from Zazzle regarding the performance of our affiliate links (e.g., total clicks, general sales data), which does not contain personally identifiable information about you.
Browser Storage (Session Storage): To enhance performance, this Service uses your browser's session storage to temporarily cache the results of your search queries during your current browsing session. This data is stored locally on your device and is automatically deleted when you close your browser tab or window. It is not transmitted to our servers beyond the initial fetch request.
Technical Information (Server Logs): Our web server automatically logs standard technical information necessary for operating and securing the website. This may include your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the time and date of your request, and the referring URL (if any). This data is used for troubleshooting, security monitoring, and generating aggregate statistics about website usage. It is not used to personally identify you.
How We Use Information
The information processed is used strictly for the following purposes:
To provide and operate the search functionality by retrieving data from the Zazzle feed based on your query.
To enable affiliate tracking when you click on product links to Zazzle.
To improve the performance and user experience of the Service through browser caching.
To maintain the security and integrity of our web server and diagnose technical problems.
To analyze general website traffic trends using aggregated, anonymized data.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share any personally identifiable information with third parties because we do not collect it.
Your search query is shared with Zazzle via their RSS feed URL to retrieve results.
Aggregated, non-identifiable server log data or affiliate performance data may be used for internal analysis.
Third-Party Links (Zazzle.com)
The Service provides links to Zazzle.com. Clicking these links will take you to Zazzle's website, which operates under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites. We encourage you to review Zazzle's privacy policy.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical measures to protect the server and the limited data processed (like server logs) from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure.
Your Choices
You can typically clear your browser's session storage through your browser settings if you wish to remove any cached search results.
Children's Privacy
This Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes signifies your acceptance of the revised policy.
