Privacy Policy
What we collect, why we collect it, and who else is involved - for a simple, static site with no accounts and no store.
Last updated July 21, 2026.
Gyuto Club is a static publishing site. There are no user accounts, no shopping cart, and no database of visitors. That keeps this policy short and, we hope, easy to trust.
What we collect
If you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you type in. We use that information for one purpose only: to read your message and reply. Submissions are delivered to us by email; they are not stored in a customer database or used for marketing, and we don’t add you to any list.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic — which pages are read, roughly where visitors come from, what devices they use. This may set cookies in your browser. We also record affiliate_click events when a buy link is used, purely to measure aggregate link performance; these are not tied to your identity. The picture we get is statistical, about the audience as a whole, not a profile of you as an individual.
Affiliate links
When you click an affiliate link and land on a retailer, that retailer sets its own cookies to attribute the visit. For most of our links that retailer is Amazon, and its handling of your data is governed by Amazon’s own privacy notice, which you can read here: Amazon Privacy Notice. Our affiliate disclosure explains how those links work.
Third parties
The third parties that may receive data through your use of this site are Google (analytics) and Amazon (affiliate attribution when you click through). We do not share your contact-form details with anyone; they exist only in our email.
We don’t sell your data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Full stop. There is no data broker relationship and no advertising ID being passed around behind the scenes.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information through the contact form, email us and we will delete it.
