Affiliate Links and Amazon Associates

Leal Guide contains affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies, tracking parameters, or similar technologies to identify that your visit originated from Leal Guide.

This tracking allows an affiliate partner to determine whether a qualifying purchase or other eligible action resulted from a referral from our website.

When you follow a link to Amazon or another third-party retailer, that company’s privacy policy, cookie practices, terms, and data-processing practices apply to your activity on its website.

Third-Party Websites and Services

Leal Guide may contain links to Amazon, manufacturers, research resources, and other third-party websites. These websites operate independently from Leal Guide.

We do not control the privacy practices, security, content, or data-processing activities of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.

Affiliate Tracking

Affiliate retailers and networks may use tracking technologies when you click affiliate links on Leal Guide. These technologies may be used to attribute purchases or other qualifying activity to our website.

The information collected and the duration of affiliate tracking are determined by the relevant retailer or affiliate network. Leal Guide does not control third-party cookies once you leave our website.

Data Retention

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on the service involved and the purpose for which the information is processed.

For example, analytics information may be retained according to the settings and retention periods configured within the relevant analytics service. Third-party services may retain information according to their own privacy policies and retention practices.

Emails or other communications sent directly to Leal Guide may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry, maintain appropriate business records, or comply with applicable obligations.

We take reasonable steps to maintain the security of Leal Guide and the information handled through the website. However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
