Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Last updated: November 10, 2026

This page explains, in plain language, what happens to your information when you visit HeatColdLab and the basic terms for using the site.

Privacy Policy

Information we collect

You don't need an account to use HeatColdLab, and we don't sell personal information. Like most websites, our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) processes technical data such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested in order to deliver and protect the site.

If you write to us through the contact form, we receive your name, email address and message. We use that information only to reply and to fix anything you report. Messages are stored for up to a year so we can follow up.

Analytics and cookies

We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which pages are useful, such as pages viewed, general location (country or region) and device type. If an analytics tool sets cookies, you can block or delete them in your browser settings, and the site will still work.

Affiliate links

Some links on the site are affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer (for example Amazon or a sauna brand) may set a cookie so a purchase can be credited to us. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Once you leave our site, the retailer's own privacy policy applies. See our affiliate disclosure.

Embedded content

If a page includes a YouTube video, it loads from youtube-nocookie.com only after you click play.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example California under the CCPA/CPRA, or the EU/UK under the GDPR), you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you and to have it deleted. Use the contact form and we'll help.

Terms of Use

Information only, not advice

Our content is general information to help you research products. It isn't medical, electrical or professional advice. Talk to your doctor before starting sauna or cold-water routines, and use a licensed electrician for any wiring work.

Accuracy

We work hard to keep specs, prices and sources accurate, but manufacturers change products and prices often. Always confirm details with the seller before you buy. If you find an error, please let us know.

Third-party sites

We link to manufacturers, retailers, studies and other sites we don't control. We aren't responsible for their content, products, pricing or policies.

Using our content

Articles, tables and graphics on HeatColdLab are our work unless credited otherwise. You're welcome to quote short excerpts with a link back to the original page. Please don't republish full articles without permission. Photos credited to other creators remain under their own licenses.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is." To the extent the law allows, HeatColdLab isn't liable for losses that come from using the site or relying on its content.

Changes

We'll update this page when our practices change and revise the date at the top.
