Privacy Policy

VoltWorkHQ (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates voltworkhq.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

We do not sell personal information. We do not run ads. This site earns revenue through affiliate commissions when you purchase products through our links — that process is explained in full below.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

If you contact us via our contact form or email, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list or share that information with third parties.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit voltworkhq.com, standard web technologies automatically collect certain data, including:

• IP address (anonymized where possible)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URLs and pages visited on this site
• Time and date of your visit

This data is collected via Google Analytics and standard WordPress server logs. It is used exclusively for understanding site performance and improving content.

2. Cookies

This site uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:

• Analytics — track page visits and traffic sources to improve content (Google Analytics)
• Affiliate Tracking — track referrals through affiliate links so we receive commission credit (Amazon Associates and brand partners)
• Functional — remember site preferences and support core WordPress functionality

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from reading content on this site, but it may affect affiliate attribution and some site features.

3. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — which pages they read, how long they stay, and where they come from. This data is aggregated and anonymous. We do not use Google Analytics to track individual users or build personal profiles.

Google Analytics may set its own cookies as part of this service. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Google’s full privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Sites

VoltWorkHQ participates in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program and programs run directly by equipment manufacturers. When you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate links on this site redirect through voltworkhq.com/recommends/ before reaching the retailer. Once you leave voltworkhq.com, you are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site. We have no control over and accept no responsibility for the content or privacy practices of those third-party sites.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

5. How We Use Your Information

Information collected on this site is used only to:

• Understand site traffic and improve content quality
• Respond to contact form submissions
• Track affiliate referrals for commission attribution
• Maintain the security and stability of the site

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or sale to third parties. We do not send marketing emails.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, after which they are deleted. Analytics data is retained for 26 months per Google Analytics default settings. Server logs are retained per our hosting provider’s standard policy, typically 30–90 days.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction — request that we correct inaccurate data
• Deletion — request that we delete your personal data
• Objection — object to how we process your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the form at voltworkhq.com/contact. We will respond within 30 days. If you are located in the EEA, you have rights under GDPR. If you are located in California, you have rights under CCPA.

8. Children’s Privacy

VoltWorkHQ is designed for adult professionals and commercial operators. This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
