Privacy policy.

Last updated: October 6, 2026

This policy explains what information Innovative Gadget Hub (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit innovativegadgethub.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run a great site.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address, the topic you choose and your message. When you join our newsletter, The Brief, we collect your email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) to keep the site secure and running. We store a few small preferences in your browser, described in the cookies section below.

Aura, our concierge. Aura is a guided assistant that runs entirely in your browser. Your questions to Aura are not sent to or stored on our servers.

How we use your information

• To reply to messages you send us.
• To send The Brief if you subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To keep the site secure, prevent spam and fix problems.
• With your consent, to understand which pages readers find useful.

We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies and local storage

We use essential cookies and browser storage to make the site work and remember your choices:

• igh_consent (cookie) and igh-consent (local storage): remember your cookie choice for up to 180 days.
• igh-theme: remembers whether you prefer dark or light mode.
• igh-nl-seen and igh-subscribed: make sure the newsletter popup does not keep reappearing.

Analytics cookies are only used if you choose Accept all. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer.

Affiliate disclosure

Innovative Gadget Hub is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means a retailer may pay us a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking them. This comes at no extra cost to you.

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. We may also participate in other affiliate programs. Affiliate links are marked as sponsored in our code and labeled near buttons such as Check price and Check availability.

Commissions never affect our AI spec scores, human verdicts, seals or rankings. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer’s own privacy policy and cookies apply on their site.

Third-party services

• Google Fonts delivers our typefaces. Your browser connects to Google servers to load them, which shares your IP address with Google.
• jsDelivr, a content delivery network, serves the library that powers smooth scrolling.
• WPForms processes our contact and newsletter forms. Submissions are delivered to our inbox by email.
• Our web host stores the site and its server logs.

How long we keep information

We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond and follow up. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including the European Union, the United Kingdom and California, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, contact us and we will respond within the time required by law.
