Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 19, 2026
SplitAtlas is a research and comparison resource for ductless mini-split heat pumps. We designed the site to work without accounts, without advertising trackers, and without collecting personal information in the normal course of browsing. This page explains exactly what we do and do not collect, and what happens when you leave our site through an outbound link.
What we collect
Anonymous usage analytics (cookieless). We use Vercel Web Analytics to understand which pages and tools people find useful. This system is cookieless: it does not set browser cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not build a profile of you across sites. We see aggregate counts — page views, referring domains, country-level location, browser type, and anonymous interaction events (for example, "someone completed the sizing calculator") — never an identity.
Google Analytics (uses cookies). We also use Google Analytics 4 to
measure site traffic. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such
as _ga) to distinguish returning visits and reports aggregate usage
to us. Google processes this data per its own
privacy disclosure,
and you can opt out with the
Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
We use it for traffic measurement only — not advertising.
Nothing else. SplitAtlas has no user accounts, no newsletter, no comment system, and no forms that store personal data on our servers. We do not sell, rent, or share any visitor data, because we do not have any to sell.
What we do not collect
- No advertising cookies or third-party ad trackers
- No cross-site tracking or remarketing pixels
- No precise location data
- No personally identifying information during browsing
Affiliate links and other websites
Product listings on SplitAtlas may link to retailers through affiliate links (see our affiliate disclosure). When you click through to a retailer, that retailer's own privacy policy and cookies apply from that point on. Affiliate links may allow the retailer to attribute your visit to SplitAtlas so we can earn a commission on qualifying purchases; this attribution happens on the retailer's side and does not send purchase or identity information back to us.
Embedded calculators
Other websites may embed SplitAtlas calculators. Embedded tools behave the same way as the rest of the site: anonymous, cookieless usage analytics only. If you use one of our calculators inside another website, that host website's privacy practices also apply to your visit there.
If you email us (see contact), we use your address only to respond. We do not add you to any list, and we delete correspondence when it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Because we do not collect personal information during browsing, there is generally nothing for us to access, correct, or delete. If you have emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, ask and we will do it. Residents of jurisdictions with privacy laws such as GDPR or CCPA/CPRA retain all rights those laws provide; requests can be sent through our contact page.
Changes to this policy
If our practices change — for example, if we ever add a newsletter — we will update this page and change the effective date at the top. Material changes will be noted on our corrections page.
