1. Information We Collect
Information collected automatically
When you visit UltralightPackers.com, our servers and third-party analytics tools automatically collect:

This data is collected through server logs and Google Analytics. We do not collect this data ourselves — it is processed by Google on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
Information you provide voluntarily
We do not currently operate a newsletter, user account system, or comment section. If you contact us by email, we retain your email address and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
Affiliate tracking
When you click an affiliate link on this site (for example, a link to Amazon.com), the retailer may set a cookie to track whether you make a purchase. We never see your personal information from these transactions — we only receive an aggregate commission report from Amazon. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details.
