Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
This policy explains what information AudienceBench (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit audiencebench.com, and how we use it. We aim to collect as little as possible.
Information we collect
- No accounts or on-site forms. The site doesn’t have user accounts, comments, or signup forms of its own. Our free downloads (like the Newsletter Launch Checklist) don’t require an email address.
- Newsletter (via beehiiv). If you choose to subscribe to the AudienceBench newsletter, you do so on our newsletter’s page hosted by beehiiv (audiencebench.beehiiv.com), the service that stores subscriber emails and sends the newsletter for us. We use your email address only to send the newsletter, and every issue includes an unsubscribe link. beehiiv’s handling of that data is described in beehiiv’s privacy policy.
- Server and security logs. The site is a static website served through a content delivery network (we plan to use Cloudflare). Like any web host, the network automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the page requested, in order to deliver pages and protect against abuse. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
- Analytics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-oriented service that reports aggregate traffic (for example page views and referrers). We prefer cookie-free measurement; Cloudflare Web Analytics can run without cookies for basic stats. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for how Cloudflare handles that data.
- Email. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send, and we use it only to reply to you.
Cookies
AudienceBench itself does not set advertising or tracking cookies.
Affiliate links: When you click an affiliate link (for example audiencebench.com/go/beehiiv), you’re forwarded to the vendor’s website. That vendor or its affiliate platform may set cookies on your device so it can credit us if you sign up. Those cookies are governed by the vendor’s own privacy policy, not ours.
How we use information
We use the limited information above to operate and secure the website, understand overall traffic, and respond to messages. We don’t sell your personal information, and we don’t share it except with service providers needed to run the site or when required by law.
Your choices and rights
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can browse the site without clicking affiliate links. Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK under GDPR, or California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To make a request, email [email protected].
Children
AudienceBench is intended for adults running businesses and newsletters. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes
We’ll update this page if our practices change and revise the date at the top.
