This policy explains what Run Beginner Guide does with information when you use runbeginnerguide.com. The site publishes practical running guides. It does not offer accounts, checkout, newsletters, or a comment section.
What we collect
Information you send us
The site does not have a form or an account. If you email info@runbeginnerguide.com, we receive the address you write from and whatever you include in the message. We use that only to read and reply to you.
Pages you visit
We use Plausible Analytics to see which pages are read and which outbound links are used. The script is loaded from this website, not from a third-party analytics domain in your browser. Plausible does not use cookies and does not build a profile of you. A visit can include the page address, the referring site, browser, operating system, device type, and an approximate country derived from the IP address. The IP address itself is not stored.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Vercel. Delivering a page means the host briefly processes the usual request details, such as IP address, browser, and the address you requested, so the page can load and the service can stay reliable. We do not use those logs to identify you.
Amazon links
Some links go to Amazon. They are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission. We do not receive your Amazon account, payment details, or order contents. After you leave this site, Amazon’s own privacy policy applies to what Amazon collects, including any cookies Amazon sets.
Cookies
Run Beginner Guide does not set analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or a cookie-consent banner. Plausible runs without cookies. Your browser, or a site you open from a link here, may still store its own cookies.
How long we keep information
Email stays in our inbox for as long as we need it to handle your message, then we delete it. Analytics is kept in aggregate so we can see trends. We do not keep a record that ties a visit back to you.
Children
The guides are written for adults choosing running shoes. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has emailed us, contact us and we will delete that message.
Other websites
Links in the guides, including product links, leave this site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
