This policy explains what information StackHyre collects when you visit, why we collect it and the choices you have.
Last updated: October 24, 2026
This Privacy Policy covers how StackHyre (“StackHyre”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and shares information when you visit this website (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
When you email us, pitch a guest post, ask about advertising or sign up for our newsletter, you may give us your name, email address, company, website and the content of your message. We only collect what you choose to send.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we receive standard log and device data when you browse. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the page that sent you here, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. Cookies and similar tools make this possible.
A note for proxy users: if you visit the Site through a proxy or VPN, we see the proxy’s IP address, not yours.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files saved on your device. We and our partners use them to:
- Keep the Site working and remember your settings
- Measure traffic and see how pages are used (analytics)
- Track affiliate referrals so a provider knows a visitor came from us
- Show and measure ads, where we run them
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the Site may not work as well if you do.
How We Use Your Information
- To run, maintain and improve the Site and our guides
- To reply to your messages, pitches and advertising questions
- To send our newsletter, if you signed up for it
- To understand traffic and which pages are useful
- To show and measure ads, where we run them
- To find and fix security and technical problems
- To meet legal obligations
Analytics
We use third party analytics services, which may include Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the Site. These services may set their own cookies and process data like your IP address and browsing activity under their own privacy policies.
Advertising and Sponsored Content
We may show ads from third party networks or run banners for brands that advertise with us. These partners may use cookies and device IDs to show ads and measure them. You can usually opt out of personalized ads in your device settings or through industry opt out tools. Sponsored posts are labeled, and visiting one does not share your personal information with the sponsor.
Affiliate Links
Some links on the Site are affiliate links to proxy providers and tools. If you click one, the provider or its affiliate network may set a cookie to credit the referral to us. When you sign up with a provider, your account, payment and usage data are handled by that provider under its own privacy policy, not ours. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
How We Share Information
We don’t sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Service providers who help run the Site, such as hosting, analytics, email and security
- Advertising and affiliate partners, limited to what they need to show ads or credit referrals
- Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect our rights and our readers
Newsletter
If you join our newsletter, we use your email address to send it. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can also email us to be removed.
How Long We Keep Data
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the reasons in this policy, to meet legal duties, settle disputes and enforce our agreements. Analytics and log data are kept for our providers’ standard periods.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data. We honor these requests for all readers, wherever they live.
If you are in the EU or UK (GDPR)
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to or limit how we use it, and ask for a copy in a portable format. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
If you are in California (CCPA/CPRA)
You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to ask us to delete or correct it, and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing”. We don’t sell personal information. We will never treat you differently for using these rights.
To make a request, email mail@stackhyre.com. We may need to confirm who you are before we act.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is meant for adults and professionals. It is not aimed at children under 16, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect your information. But no website or storage method is fully secure, so we can’t guarantee complete security.
International Visitors
The Site can be visited from anywhere. By using it, you understand that your information may be processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection rules.
Third Party Links
The Site links to proxy providers, tools and other websites we don’t control. This policy doesn’t cover them. Please read their privacy policies before you sign up or share data.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest version. Big changes will be posted on this page.
