Who We Are

We are dedicated to respecting the privacy of your personal information, and this privacy policy describes what information is collected from you while visiting, and how it is used.
By visiting and using this website, you accept and agree to be bound by this privacy policy. Your continued use of the website after the posting of any changes to our Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of those changes and updates. Please do not access or use the website if you do not wish to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
We created the privacy policy for this site and its mobile apps to abide by all international internet privacy laws and prove our commitment to the protection of our visitor’s personal information. We hate spam and sites that sell data too!
Since the best things in life are free, you’ll find lots of free information and inspiration on this site.
To cover the costs of everything you see here, from time to time we accept advertising, sponsorship, paid insertions and other forms of compensation. However, the compensation received will never influence the content, topics or reviews and we will always give our honest opinion on products or services.
We link to examples in articles for our reader’s benefit, but sometimes those links are affiliate links where we receive a small commission when you make a purchase. It is the affiliate store’s way of thanking us for the traffic. This will not make the product cost more than the regular price on their site. In some cases – where stated – it could even offer you a discount.
The views and opinions expressed are purely our own, intended for your entertainment.
Any product or service claim, statistic, quote, price or other representation should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question. (Whenever possible, links will be provided for easy verification.)
