Privacy Policy

OffGrid Benchmark is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Information We Collect

OffGrid Benchmark is a static content website. We do not require user accounts, and we do not collect personal information such as names, email addresses, or payment details through normal site usage.

If you contact us via email, we will retain your email address and message content solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies on this site. The cookies present on OffGrid Benchmark fall into the following categories:

• Essential cookies — Used for basic site functionality such as theme preferences. These do not track you across sites.
• Affiliate cookies — Set by third-party affiliate networks when you click an affiliate link (see Affiliate Links section below).
• Analytics — We use Rybbit, a privacy-first analytics platform (see below).

Third-Party Services

Rybbit Analytics

We use Rybbit, a self-hosted, privacy-first analytics platform. Rybbit does not collect personal data, does not use cookies for tracking, does not fingerprint users, and does not share data with any third parties. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous — we see page view counts and referrer information, not individual user behavior.

Amazon Associates

We participate in the Amazon Associates Program. When you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site, Amazon may place a cookie in your browser with a 24-hour window. If you make a purchase within that window, we receive a small commission. Amazon's use of cookies is governed by the Amazon Privacy Notice.

Impact Radius

We use Impact as an affiliate network for brands including EcoFlow, BLUETTI, Anker, and Renogy. When you click an Impact affiliate link, a tracking cookie with a 30-day window may be placed in your browser. Impact's data practices are governed by their own privacy policy.

Affiliate Links

Our site contains affiliate links that earn us a commission when you make a purchase through them. These links are clearly identified with rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes. Clicking an affiliate link may result in a third-party cookie being placed in your browser by the respective affiliate network. The price you pay is not affected by using our affiliate links.

Affiliate cookie durations vary by network:

• Amazon Associates — 24-hour cookie window
• Impact Radius — 30-day cookie window
• ShareASale — varies by merchant (typically 30 days)
• Direct brand programs — varies by brand

Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal data through normal site usage, there is minimal data to retain. Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and is not used for marketing purposes. Aggregated, anonymous analytics data is retained indefinitely to help us understand content performance.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request information about any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of any personal data (such as email correspondence)
• Opt out of third-party cookies by adjusting your browser settings
• Use browser extensions or privacy tools to block affiliate tracking cookies

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@offgridbenchmark.com.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable regulations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
