Information we collect
When you visit PickBento, we may process limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, timestamps, language settings and approximate location derived from technical signals.
If you contact us directly, we may process the information you choose to send, such as your email address, message content and any details needed to respond.
How we use information
- To operate, secure and improve the website.
- To understand which pages and product rankings are useful to readers.
- To detect abuse, spam, technical errors and security issues.
- To respond to messages, privacy requests and legal obligations.
- To measure affiliate link performance and maintain proper commission attribution.
Affiliate links and commercial partners
PickBento contains affiliate links to third-party merchants, marketplaces and partner networks, including Amazon and PartnerBoost offers where applicable. If you click an affiliate link, the destination website or partner network may receive technical information and tracking parameters needed to attribute a purchase or other qualifying action.
Purchases, payments, delivery, returns and account handling take place on the third-party merchant website, not on PickBento. Those third parties process your data under their own privacy policies.
Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies for essential site functions, traffic measurement, security, affiliate attribution and user preference management.
If optional analytics or marketing tools are used, they should be controlled through consent where required by law. You can manage the site preference center here: Privacy preferences.
Legal bases for processing
For visitors in the UK or European Economic Area, our legal bases may include legitimate interests, consent, compliance with legal obligations and performance of requested communications. Our legitimate interests include operating a secure website, publishing affiliate content, improving user experience and measuring site performance.
Sharing information
We may share limited information with hosting providers, analytics providers, security tools, affiliate networks, merchants, professional advisers and authorities where required by law. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling a customer list for money.
International transfers
Our website, hosting providers, analytics tools and affiliate partners may process data in countries different from where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards or lawful transfer mechanisms.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security, analytics, affiliate reporting, legal compliance and dispute handling. Server logs and analytics records are typically retained for a limited period unless needed for security or legal reasons.
Your privacy rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent, request portability or lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
California and other US state residents may have additional rights to know, access, correct, delete or opt out of certain data sharing or targeted advertising practices, where applicable.

PickBento is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under the age threshold required by local law.
