Data & Privacy

Last updated: January 2026

This Data & Privacy notice explains what information Handbook Creator Pro collects when you visit, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We collect only what is needed to run an independent rankings site. That may include standard server logs (such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages viewed) and anonymous, aggregated analytics about how the site is used. You do not need an account or any personal details to browse the award categories or read our rankings.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and privacy-conscious analytics to understand which pages are useful and to improve the site. Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner shown on your first visit, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies will not stop you from reading the site.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links to handbook creator tools may be affiliate links. If you follow one and take an action, such as starting a trial or subscribing, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These arrangements never influence how tools are tested, scored, or ranked. See our How We Judge section for how scoring stays independent.

Third-party services

Analytics, content-delivery, and hosting providers may process limited technical data on our behalf, subject to their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not collect the contents of any handbook you may create with the tools we review — those stay between you and the vendor you choose.

Your choices

Data retention

Server logs and aggregated analytics are retained only as long as they are useful for security, troubleshooting, and understanding site traffic, after which they are deleted or further anonymized.

Children's privacy

This site is intended for a professional, general audience and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
