Introduction
GetPartFound (“the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to https://getpartfound.com and any related services we operate.
If you don’t agree with this policy, please don’t use the Site.
Who We Are
GetPartFound is an independent content site focused on identifying, sourcing, and fabricating replacement parts for tractors, small engines, appliances, and related equipment. The Site is operated by an individual publisher and hosted on shared infrastructure provided by Hostinger.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
When you fill out the contact form on this Site, we collect your name, email address, reason for contacting us, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We don’t sell, rent, or trade contact form submissions.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically by our hosting provider, security plugin, and any analytics tools we use. This typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, pages viewed and time spent on each, and approximate geographic location. This is standard server log data, used for security, performance, and traffic analysis.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site uses cookies for basic functionality, caching to make pages load faster (LiteSpeed Cache), security (Wordfence), and analytics if and when we add Google Analytics or similar tools. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the Site may not function correctly if you do.
Embedded Content from Other Sites
Articles on this Site may include embedded content from other sites, such as YouTube videos or social media posts. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other site directly. These third-party sites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to your messages, operate and improve the Site, detect and prevent security threats and abuse, comply with legal obligations, and understand in aggregate how readers use the Site. We do not sell your personal information.
Who We Share Your Information With
We share information only with the service providers necessary to operate the Site, including Hostinger (hosting), Wordfence (security), WPForms (contact form handling), LiteSpeed (caching), Rank Math (SEO data), and — when configured — Google Analytics and Google Search Console.
We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Site, its users, or the public. We do not share your contact form submissions with affiliate partners or advertisers.
How Long We Retain Your Information
Contact form submissions are retained for as long as needed to respond and follow up, then deleted within a reasonable period. Server logs are retained per our hosting provider’s policy, typically 30 to 90 days. Comments, if enabled, are retained indefinitely while published.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights including the right to access information we hold about you, the right to request correction or deletion, the right to object to or restrict processing, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page.
Where Your Data Is Sent
The Site is hosted in the United States. By using the Site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the U.S., regardless of where you live. The U.S. has different data protection laws than other countries.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect the information we collect, including HTTPS/SSL encryption, a firewall and malware scanning (Wordfence), secure admin authentication, and regular software updates. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes will be noted on this page or via a banner on the Site.

Affiliate Disclosure
GetPartFound participates in affiliate marketing programs and other forms of paid relationships. This section explains what that means for you as a reader.
Affiliate Programs
GetPartFound is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate, GetPartFound earns from qualifying purchases.
GetPartFound also participates in or actively pursues relationships with other affiliate programs, including but not limited to:
- eBay Partner Network
- Direct affiliate relationships with parts retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and specialty service providers
When you click on an affiliate link on this site and make a qualifying purchase, GetPartFound may receive a commission from the merchant. This comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is the same whether you use our link or not.
Sponsored Content and Paid Placements
In addition to affiliate relationships, GetPartFound may publish content that is sponsored, paid for, or features paid placement. Examples include sponsored articles where a company has paid for editorial coverage, featured placement in “Recommended Sources” sections, display advertising, tiered annual sponsorship packages, and lead generation arrangements with service providers.
When content is sponsored or includes paid placement, this will be clearly and prominently disclosed within the article itself, in addition to this general disclosure. Look for labels such as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “This post is sponsored by…”
Other Material Connections
GetPartFound may also receive free products, free services, or other forms of compensation from companies whose products or services are reviewed or mentioned on this site. Any such relationships will be disclosed within relevant articles.
Editorial Independence
Our content is editorially independent. We recommend products, services, and sources based on our research, hands-on experience, and honest assessment of value. The presence of an affiliate relationship, sponsorship, or other material connection does not influence our recommendations or guarantee favorable coverage.
If we believe a product, service, or source is not worth recommending, we say so — even if we have a financial relationship with the company offering it.
Your Assumption
In compliance with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), please assume that any external links on this site may be affiliate links unless explicitly noted otherwise. Please assume that any product, service, or source mentioned may have a material connection with GetPartFound unless explicitly noted otherwise.

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, sponsorship arrangements, or disclosure practices, please contact us via our Contact page.
