Who We Are
AirFryerFinder.com (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Site”) is a content publisher providing air fryer reviews, buying guides, recipes, and cooking resources to readers in the United States and internationally.
For the purposes of applicable data protection laws (including the GDPR and CCPA), the “data controller” responsible for your personal information is:
| Site Name | AirFryerFinder.com |
| Operated By | [Your Business Name / Sole Proprietor Name] |
| Business Address | [Street Address, City, State, ZIP, USA] |
| Contact Email | [email protected] |
| Website | https://airfryerfinder.com |
This page must contain a real, verifiable business address and contact method. Placeholder or fictitious contact information violates the Amazon Associates Operating Agreement, FTC requirements, and most US state privacy laws. If you operate as a sole proprietor and wish to limit your home address exposure, consider a registered agent service or virtual mailbox (e.g., a USPS-approved CMRA).
Information We Collect
We collect information in three ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information from third-party sources (such as advertising and analytics partners).
2.1 — Information You Provide Directly
- Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter or download a free resource (e.g., cooking cheat sheet)
- Name — if voluntarily provided when subscribing or contacting us
- Comments & messages — if you leave a blog comment or use our contact form, including any information you choose to include in the message body
2.2 — Information Collected Automatically
- Device information — browser type and version, operating system, device type (mobile/desktop/tablet)
- Usage data — pages visited, time spent on page, referring website, links clicked, scroll depth
- IP address — used for approximate geographic location (country/region/city level) and security purposes
- Cookies & similar technologies — see Section 5 for full details
2.3 — Information from Third Parties
- Advertising identifiers — Google AdSense and other ad networks may share aggregated, non-identifying audience data with us
- Affiliate click data — Amazon provides aggregated reporting on clicks and purchases attributed to our affiliate links (Amazon does not share the personal identity of purchasers with us)
We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, government ID numbers, precise geolocation (GPS), biometric data, or health information. We do not require account creation or login to read content on this site.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Description | Legal Basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Operate & maintain the Site | Serve pages, ensure security, prevent fraud and abuse | Legitimate interest |
| Improve content & user experience | Analyze which articles, guides, and recipes are most useful | Legitimate interest |
| Serve advertising | Display relevant ads via Google AdSense; measure ad performance | Consent (where required) |
| Affiliate commission tracking | Attribute purchases made via Amazon links to our account | Legitimate interest |
| Email communications | Send newsletters, recipe updates, and the requested lead magnet | Consent |

AirFryerFinder.com does not sell your personal information in exchange for monetary payment. However, under the CCPA’s broad definition, the use of certain advertising cookies (such as those used by Google AdSense for personalized ads) may be considered a “share” of information for cross-context behavioral advertising. See Section 9 for your opt-out rights.

This Site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements and Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Both are services provided by Google LLC (“Google”).
6.1 — How Google Uses Data

DoubleClickcookie) to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this and other websites - Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet

Amazon Associates Tracking
AirFryerFinder.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a link on this Site that leads to Amazon.com, Amazon places a tracking cookie on your device. This cookie allows Amazon to credit any resulting purchase (of the linked product or anything else purchased during that session) to our Associates account.
- This tracking is performed entirely by Amazon, not by AirFryerFinder.com — we do not have access to your Amazon account, purchase history, payment information, or shipping address
- The standard Amazon affiliate cookie window is 24 hours from the time you click the link
- Using our links does not change the price you pay on Amazon
- Amazon’s use of your data once you arrive on Amazon.com is governed by the Amazon.com Privacy Notice, not this policy
For more details about how affiliate links work on this site, see our Affiliate Disclosure page.
Third-Party Links
This Site contains links to third-party websites, including but not limited to Amazon.com, manufacturer websites, social media platforms (Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram), and other content sites we may reference or cite.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit, especially before providing any personal information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by AirFryerFinder.com.
California Privacy Rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information.
The CCPA’s full requirements technically apply to businesses meeting certain revenue or data-volume thresholds. Regardless of whether AirFryerFinder.com meets those thresholds, we voluntarily extend the rights described below to all California residents as a matter of policy.
9.1 — Categories of Personal Information Collected (Last 12 Months)
| Category (per Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140) | Collected? | Source |

| Geolocation data (approximate) | Yes (IP-based only) | Automatically |
| Sensitive personal information | No | — |
| Biometric information | No | — |
| Protected classification (race, religion, etc.) | No | — |
9.2 — “Sale” and “Sharing” of Information
Under the CPRA’s broad definitions, the use of advertising cookies (e.g., Google AdSense) for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered “sharing” of information, even though no money changes hands. We provide the following control:
California residents may opt out of the “sharing” of their information for cross-context behavioral advertising via our cookie consent tool or by enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, which we honor as a valid opt-out request.
9.3 — Your CCPA/CPRA Rights

Because this Site uses US-based services (such as Google and Amazon), your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries outside the EEA/UK. Where this occurs, such transfers are made on the basis of the providers’ Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other appropriate safeguards recognized under GDPR Chapter V.
