Privacy Policy
Last updated June 2026.
This policy explains what information The Best Rowing Machine collects when you read our guides, how we use it, and the choices you have. It covers our home page and every rowing machine guide on the site.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to sign up or hand over personal details, so most of what we collect happens automatically as you browse. It is limited to basic analytics: the pages you open, how long you stay, the site or search that sent you here, and general information about your browser and device. Some of it is linked to your approximate location at the city or region level, based on your IP address. We use it to see which guides help people and to keep the site fast and stable. If you contact us directly, for example by email or through our contact page, we also receive whatever you choose to send, such as your name and message, and we use it only to reply.
Cookies and similar technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files your browser stores. We use essential cookies that keep the site working as you move between pages, analytics cookies that help us count visits and understand how the site is used, and the advertising and affiliate cookies described below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings whenever you like, though some features may behave differently if you do.
Affiliate and advertising partners
The Best Rowing Machine takes part in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Associates program. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click a link to a retailer and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. For this to work, our partners place cookies that record the referral for a limited time after your click. Amazon and other retailers may also run their own tracking to measure traffic and shape what you see. We do not control those cookies, and they fall under each retailer's own privacy policy. Our affiliate disclosure explains how we earn from the site in more detail.
Third party services
We use a small set of outside services to run the site. These can include analytics providers that report how pages are used, a hosting and delivery provider that serves the site to you, and the advertising and affiliate networks already mentioned. Each one handles data under its own privacy policy. We pick providers we consider reasonable, but we cannot control how they work or answer for their practices.
We do not sell your personal data
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not trade it for money or anything else of value. The data we gather is used to run and improve The Best Rowing Machine and to support the affiliate and advertising relationships that keep the site free to read. We share information with the service providers above only so they can do their job, and we may disclose it if the law clearly requires us to.
Children
The site is meant for adults shopping for home fitness equipment and is not aimed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we will remove it.
Your choices and rights
You have control over your data. You can refuse or delete cookies in your browser, opt out of personalized ads through your device or account settings, and use browser tools that limit tracking. Depending on where you live, you may also be able to ask what information we hold, request a copy, or ask us to delete it. To make a request, reach us through the contact details below.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. When we do, we will update the date at the top. It is worth checking back now and then so you know how your data is handled.
How to contact us
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, please reach out through our contact page. You can also visit our about page to see who runs The Best Rowing Machine, or read our affiliate disclosure to understand how the site earns from its links.
