Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

RamRadar collects minimal information to provide our RAM price tracking service:

• Email address: only if you sign up for price-drop alerts or our weekly deals newsletter. We never sell your email. Both use double opt-in (you confirm via a link before anything is sent).
• Usage & analytics data: PostHog and Vercel Analytics collect page views and interactions only after analytics consent. Google Analytics uses Consent Mode: with analytics storage denied, Google may receive limited cookieless measurement pings; accepting enables full measurement. We do not run session recording or heatmaps.
• Cookies: essential cookies for site functionality; consented analytics cookies (PostHog); consented on-page affiliate attribution (Sovrn Commerce when configured); and advertising cookies (Google AdSense / our display-ad partner, and Google Ads conversion tracking). See “Your Rights” below for how consent is handled.
• Sponsored-click fraud signals: when a paid placement is shown, Vercel BotID evaluates browser, session, and network signals before a click can be billed. RamRadar uses a short-lived signed proof, an essential HttpOnly session cookie, and a pseudonymized IP hash to prevent replay and automated budget abuse. The proof URL is excluded from analytics autocapture.
• Operational diagnostics: when Sentry is configured, technical error and performance data may be collected to keep the service reliable. Session Replay is disabled.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To send the price-drop alerts and weekly deals emails you opted into
• To understand and improve the site through privacy-conscious analytics
• To show ads and measure advertising effectiveness

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Vercel: hosting, cookieless anonymous traffic analytics, and BotID browser attestation for paid sponsored-click fraud prevention. BotID runs only for the paid-placement proof endpoint.
• Supabase: database for product, price, subscriber, and alert data
• PostHog: privacy-conscious product analytics (page views and interactions); session recording and heatmaps are disabled
• Google Analytics: consent-aware website measurement and linked publisher reporting; limited cookieless pings may be sent while analytics storage is denied
• Sentry: technical error and performance monitoring when configured; Session Replay is disabled
• Resend: email delivery for price alerts and the weekly deals newsletter
• Google AdSense / our display-ad partner: on-page advertising
• Google Ads: advertising campaign measurement; affiliate-click conversions are sent only when a conversion action is configured
• eBay Partner Network & Rakuten Advertising (Newegg): affiliate link tracking
• Configured direct and sub-affiliate networks (including Sovrn Commerce when enabled): attribution for eligible B&H Photo, Best Buy, and Walmart links

Each service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

4. Affiliate Links

RamRadar contains affiliate links to retailers including eBay and Newegg. Eligible B&H Photo, Best Buy, and Walmart links may use a configured direct or sub-affiliate network. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This is how we keep the site free.

5. Data Retention

Subscriber and price-alert email addresses are stored while your subscription or alerts are active. When you unsubscribe we keep a minimal suppression record (your address marked unsubscribed) so we do not email you again; you can request full deletionof your data at any time (see Your Rights). Analytics data is retained per each provider's standard retention policy. Product pricing data is retained indefinitely to provide historical price charts.

6. Your Rights

You can:

• Unsubscribe at any time via the link in any marketing or alert email; this stops all emails and deactivates your price alerts. You can also fine-tune which emails you receive from the “manage preferences” link in any email.
• Request full deletion of your data (email subscription and price alerts) by emailing us; we permanently erase it.
• Cookies & consent: On your first visit, RamRadar’s consent banner lets you choose “Accept analytics” or “Essential only.” Essential only keeps PostHog, Vercel Analytics, and Sovrn’s on-page attribution library off and leaves Google analytics storage denied. Under Google’s advanced Consent Mode, the Google tag may still send limited cookieless consent and measurement pings without analytics cookies; accepting enables full Google Analytics measurement. Google advertising storage is denied by default in the EEA, UK, EFTA, and Switzerland via Google Consent Mode v2; Google’s certified consent management platform separately requests and applies your advertising choice where required. Display ads may render according to that choice. PostHog session recording and heatmaps are disabled. You can revisit your choice by clearing this site's stored data, use Google’s privacy message to manage advertising consent, and manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time.

7. Children's Privacy

RamRadar is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
