5. Third-Party Links and Services

Our site may contain links to third-party websites, services, or content provided by third parties. These links are provided for your convenience and do not imply endorsement. When you click a third-party link, you leave MyCleaningTool.com and go to a site whose privacy practices may differ from ours.

We are not responsible for the privacy policies or practices of third-party sites. We recommend reading the privacy policy of any site you visit, particularly before providing personal information.

Embedded content and widgets

Embedded content such as videos, social media widgets, or interactive tools may collect data about your interactions. The providers of that content may collect information about you, use cookies, and track your interactions. We do not control the data collection practices of those third parties.

6. Affiliate Links and Sponsored Content

MyCleaningTool may participate in affiliate programs and include affiliate links within product reviews, articles, and buying guides. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links help support the website and fund content creation.

We disclose material connections with merchants where required by law and ethical guidelines. Our editorial integrity remains a top priority: affiliate relationships do not influence our product evaluations or recommendations. We strive to provide honest, independent reviews based on rigorous testing and research.

7. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We may share personal information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: With vendors and contractors who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery, and customer support. These providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us.
  • Legal obligations and safety: When required by law, legal process, litigation, or government requests; to protect and defend our rights; or to prevent fraudulent or illegal activity.
  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, user information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify affected users where required by law.
  • Aggregated or anonymized data: We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

We do not sell personal information for money. If this practice changes, we will provide notice and an opportunity to opt out as required by law.

8. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the reason for retention.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

  • Encryption of data in transit using TLS
  • Access controls and role-based permissions for internal systems
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability management
  • Data minimization and secure deletion procedures

While we strive to protect your data, no system is completely secure. If we become aware of a security breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected individuals and regulators as required by applicable law.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If we learn we have collected information from a child under the applicable age limit without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe we may have information from a child, please notify us through the appropriate channels on the site.

10. International Transfers

MyCleaningTool is based in the United States. If you are located outside the U.S., please be aware that information we collect may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in the United States and other jurisdictions. We take steps to ensure that such transfers are carried out with appropriate safeguards and in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
