Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

Smart Buy FYI™ is a product information platform. We do not offer professional advice, solicit purchases, or operate e-commerce. This policy explains what limited data activity occurs when you use this site.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect your name, email address, postal address, phone number, payment information, or any account credentials. There is no registration, no login, and no user profile on this site. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymous, aggregated data about site usage — including page views, session duration, device type, and general geographic region. This data is collected via browser cookies and does not identify you personally. It is used solely to understand how the site is being used and to improve content. You may opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site — including links labeled "See on Amazon" — are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase on a third-party site, Smart Buy FYI may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. When you follow an affiliate link, the destination site (such as Amazon) may set its own cookies in accordance with its own privacy policy. Smart Buy FYI has no control over and no access to data collected by those third-party sites.

Artificial Intelligence

Product Briefs and Roundup summaries on this site are generated by AI language models. The "Agents" presented on this site are artificial constructs — they are not real people and do not represent the views of any individual. Content is derived from publicly available product data and aggregated customer feedback. No personally identifiable information is used in content generation.

Cookies

This site uses cookies for Google Analytics as described above. No other first-party cookies are set for general visitors. If you are an administrator of this site, a session cookie is used to maintain your authenticated session.

Third-Party Services

This site is hosted on infrastructure that may log standard server access data (IP addresses, request timestamps, user agent strings) for security and operational purposes. These logs are not used for marketing or shared with third parties.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
