Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This policy explains what information 1Markit (1markit.com) collects, why, and the choices you have. The site is run by Santonu Sarker Santo, who is responsible for your data.

What I collect

  • What you send me. Your name, email address and message when you email me or use the site's chat assistant.
  • Email list. If you sign up for my emails: your email address, your name if you give it, when and where you signed up, and whether you open or click my emails.
  • Comments. When you comment on a review, the site stores your name, email address, comment, IP address and browser details to stop spam. Your email address is never shown publicly, and comments are checked before they appear.
  • Basic technical data. Like any website, the server records things like your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. My security plugin uses this to block attacks and keep the site running.
  • Link clicks. When you click an affiliate link, the site may record the click, the page you came from and your IP address, so I can see which links people use.
  • Visit statistics. If you allow analytics cookies, Google Analytics records the pages you view, how you found the site, your approximate location (country or city), and your device and browser. Google Analytics doesn't store your IP address.
  • Your cookie choice. The cookie banner saves the choice you made.

I use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to see how many people visit and which reviews they read. It only sets cookies if you allow Analytics cookies in the banner. If you don't, Google gets only basic cookieless signals with no identifiers (Google Consent Mode). I don't run advertising pixels or retargeting on 1Markit.

Cookies

Essential cookies keep the site working and remember your cookie choice. Functional cookies, used for YouTube, Vimeo and Loom videos, and analytics cookies, used by Google Analytics, only load after you allow them. You can change your choice any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page.

How I use it

  • To reply to your messages.
  • To send the emails you signed up for: new reviews, launch alerts, bonus updates and occasional offers. Some of these emails contain affiliate links, and every one has an unsubscribe link.
  • To keep the site secure and working.
  • To understand which reviews and links are useful.

If you're in the EU or UK, the legal bases are your consent (email list, functional and analytics cookies), my legitimate interests (security, basic link stats) and taking steps you asked for (replying to you).

My email list

Joining is optional. I only add you if you sign up yourself, and I may ask you to confirm your address first. My email service (Hostinger Reach) stores the list and sends the emails on my behalf, and doesn't use your details for its own marketing. You can unsubscribe with one click in any email, or email me and I'll remove you. I never sell or rent the list.

Who I share it with

I don't sell or rent your personal information. It's handled by the services that run this site: Hostinger (hosting, the chat assistant and email tools) CookieYes (cookie consent) and Google (Analytics and Tag Manager), plus YouTube, Vimeo or Loom if you allow their videos. When you click an affiliate link you leave 1Markit, and the vendor's or marketplace's own privacy policy applies. Purchases happen on their sites, so I never see your payment details. I may also disclose information if the law requires it.

Where your data goes

The site is hosted on servers in the United States, and I work from Bangladesh, so your data may be processed outside your own country.

How long I keep it

Messages are kept while I deal with them and deleted when they're no longer needed. Comments stay up until you ask me to remove them, and spam is deleted. Email list details are kept until you unsubscribe. After that I keep only a note that you unsubscribed, so you aren't emailed again. Server and security logs are kept only for a short time. Google Analytics data is kept for 14 months.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, UK GDPR, California's CCPA/CPRA, Canada's PIPEDA and Australia's Privacy Act 1988, you can ask to see, correct, delete or get a copy of your data, object to or limit how it's used, and withdraw your consent. Email team@1markit.com with "Privacy request" in the subject line. In the EU or UK you can also complain to your local data protection authority, in Canada to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, and in Australia to the OAIC. California residents can read more on the Do Not Sell or Share page. Using your rights won't change how I treat you.

Children

1Markit is meant for adults and isn't aimed at children under 16. I don't knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If I change this policy, I'll update the date at the top of this page.
