Privacy policy

This policy explains what information BuildAnArmy (buildanarmy.com) collects, why, and the choices you have. Last updated: October 2026.

The short version

Information we collect

Visit statistics. When you view a page, your browser sends us a small anonymous record: the page you visited, the page you came from (referrer), your approximate country (looked up from your IP address, which is then discarded), your device type, browser and operating system (from the user agent), screen width and language, how long the page was open, and which Amazon links or search terms you used on this site. To count unique visitors, we combine your IP address and browser details with a secret key into a one-way code; the code cannot be turned back into your IP address, and the IP address itself is not stored with the statistics. These records are kept for 90 days and then deleted.

Settings stored on your device. If you switch between light and dark mode, the choice is stored in your browser's local storage so the site remembers it. This never leaves your device.

Server logs. Like most websites, our web server keeps short-term technical logs (including IP addresses) for security and troubleshooting.

Emails. If you email us, we use your address only to reply.

What we do not do

Amazon and other third parties

Product images are loaded from Amazon's image servers, and product links go to Amazon.com. When you visit Amazon, Amazon may use cookies to record that you came from BuildAnArmy so that a qualifying purchase can be credited to us. See Amazon's Privacy Notice. Our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Embedded or linked YouTube content is subject to Google's privacy policy.

Your choices

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page.
