What we collect (MVP): anonymous session IDs, pages viewed, quiz answers (problem, budget range, urgency, priority — never name, address, or payment info), outbound clicks, and coarse attribution (UTM parameters). Email addresses only if you subscribe to the Deal Signal.
What we don't collect: names, addresses, payment details, precise location, or any sensitive personal information. Quiz answers are stored without identity.
Why: to learn which problems, products, and content genuinely help buyers — the commerce-intelligence loop described in our methodology.
Sharing: we do not sell personal data. Merchants receive only the click itself (standard affiliate-link behavior). Aggregate, anonymized demand trends may eventually become data products.
Cookies: the MVP uses browser localStorage for session continuity; the production build will use privacy-respecting analytics. You can clear site data anytime to reset your session.
