Privacy Policy
What data this site collects, why, and your choices. Last updated July 18, 2026.
This policy explains how Clay & Coat (“we,” “us”), operated by Type 5 Marketing LLC, handles information when you visit clayandcoat.com. We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the site.
Information we collect
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful, in aggregate. It sets cookies and collects standard information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how you arrived. This is used statistically; we do not use it to identify you personally.
Contact form. If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you submit so we can reply. We use it only to respond to you and don’t add you to any marketing list.
Server logs. Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic request data (IP address, timestamp, user agent) for security and reliability.
Affiliate links and cookies
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a product link and go to Amazon, Amazon may set its own cookies to attribute a purchase to us so we earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. Those cookies and any data Amazon collects are governed by Amazon’s own privacy policy, not ours. See our affiliate disclosure for how this works.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the site and its content
- To respond to messages you send us
- To understand aggregate traffic and which guides are helpful
- To protect the site against abuse and spam
We do not sell your personal information.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s browser add-on. Blocking analytics or affiliate cookies won’t change the price you pay or your access to the site. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access or delete data we hold about you — contact us at info@clayandcoat.com to exercise them.
Children
This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by the “last updated” date above.
