Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 3, 2025
WideNeeds ("we", "us", or "our") operates https://wideneeds.com(the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site.
1. Information We Collect
We collect two types of information:
Information you provide voluntarily
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to browse WideNeeds. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to share.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data β Pages visited, time spent, referring URLs, and browser/device type, collected through Google Analytics 4 (anonymized IP addresses).
- Cookies β We use essential browser storage (localStorage) to save your wishlist locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers.
- Affiliate click data β When you click a product link, you are redirected to Amazon, Etsy, or another retailer. Those sites have their own privacy policies and tracking.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To understand how visitors use the Site and improve our content
- To analyse which products and categories are most popular
- To detect and prevent technical issues
- We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand site usage. Google Analytics collects anonymised data including pages visited, session duration, and general geographic region. IP addresses are anonymised. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Third-Party Links
WideNeeds contains links to third-party websites including Amazon, Etsy, and other retailers. When you click these links, you leave our Site and are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content or privacy practices of any third-party sites.
5. Affiliate Disclosure
WideNeeds participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
7. Children's Privacy
WideNeeds is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to how your data is processed
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
Since we collect minimal data and do not maintain user accounts, most of these rights are satisfied by the fact that we hold very little data about you in the first place.
9. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect against unauthorised access to our systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
