Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Machinist Edge (“we,” “us,” “the site”) handles information when you visit machinistedge.com. We keep data collection to a minimum and never sell your personal information.

Information We Collect

What we gather

Information you provide. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to respond.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools record standard log data — IP address, browser type, device, referring pages, and time on site — to understand how the site is used.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, affiliate tracking, and remembering basic preferences. You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and improve our content. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally to us.

Affiliate Links

Machinist Edge participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. When you click an affiliate link, the partner may set a cookie to attribute any resulting purchase. This costs you nothing and does not change the price you pay. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

How We Use Information

• Respond to your inquiries.
• Analyze and improve the site and its content.
• Maintain security and prevent abuse.
• Comply with legal obligations.

Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that help us run the site — such as analytics and hosting — and only as needed to operate it, or when required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to opt out of certain processing — for example, under the GDPR or California’s CCPA/CPRA. To make a request, email hello@machinistedge.com and we’ll respond within the timeframe the law requires.

Data Retention

We keep email correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request and any reasonable follow-up. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider’s standard settings.

Children’s Privacy

Machinist Edge is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes

We may update this policy as our practices or the law change. Material updates will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
