We do not collect your name, email, password, or any information that identifies you personally. We collect anonymous usage data (like what you search for and which pages you visit) to make this site better. We do not sell your data. That is the summary — the details are below.
ProteinPicked ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at proteinpicked.com. This privacy policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and what rights you have.
We collect anonymous, non-personal data to improve our site. We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, payment information, or anything that personally identifies you.
When you use our site, we automatically collect:
None of this data is linked to your identity. We cannot determine who you are from this information.
We use your browser's local storage (not cookies) to create a random session ID that groups your activity during a single visit. This lets us understand browsing patterns. This session ID:
Like most websites, our servers log basic technical information for each request, including your IP address, the page requested, and response time. This data is used to keep the site running, detect abuse, and fix errors. IP addresses are not stored in our database — they appear only in temporary server logs managed by our hosting provider (Vercel) and are subject to Vercel's data retention policies.

If you are in the European Economic Area, our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above is our legitimate interest in operating, improving, and securing our website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We have assessed that this processing does not override your rights because the data is anonymous and minimal.
We use the following services, each with their own privacy policies:
This site contains affiliate links to Amazon. If you click a link and make a purchase, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We track which links are clicked (anonymously) to understand product popularity. When you click an affiliate link, you leave our site and are subject to Amazon's privacy practices.
Data is automatically purged after the retention period expires. We do not retain anonymous usage data longer than necessary.
We use industry-standard security measures to protect the data we collect. All data is transmitted over HTTPS (encrypted in transit). Our database uses encryption at rest. Access to our systems is restricted and monitored.
Our site does not use cookies and does not track you across other websites. We do not currently alter our data collection practices in response to "Do Not Track" browser signals because our tracking is already minimal and anonymous.
You can clear your session data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage. Since we do not collect personally identifiable information, we are generally unable to locate data associated with a specific person. If you have questions or concerns, contact us and we will do our best to help.

Our service providers (Vercel and Supabase) maintain appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
