Privacy policy

Beam Picker has no accounts, sign-ups, or forms. We never ask for your name, email address, or payment details.

Like nearly every website, our servers record standard request logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps). These are used only to keep the site running and secure, and are rotated automatically.

We use Google Analytics to understand which pages and comparisons are useful. Google sets cookies to distinguish visitors and reports aggregate traffic to us; we do not see who you are. You can opt out with the Google Analytics browser add-on or by blocking third-party cookies.

Your listing filters are kept in your browser's session storage so returning from a flashlight page restores the list you were on. That data never leaves your browser and clears when the tab closes.

Beam Picker is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com. When you click a “Check price at Amazon” link, Amazon sets its own cookies so a qualifying purchase can be attributed to us and we earn a small commission. This does not change the price you pay, and Amazon's handling of your data is governed by Amazon's own privacy notice.

Links to a brand's own store are not paid placements and earn us nothing. Commissions never affect which lights appear on the site, how they are ranked, or what our comparisons say.

Prices shown on this site are approximate snapshots from our last catalog update; the price on the retailer's site at the time of purchase applies.

Product pages link out to retailers, manufacturers, and independent reviewers. Those sites set their own cookies and have their own privacy policies; this policy covers only beampicker.com.

Beam Picker is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from them.

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page will change with it.

Questions about this policy or the data described above can be sent to chelsea@hagadornwebdev.com.
