1. Introduction
Hilly Shore Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates Cribworthy at cribworthy.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit our Site. By using Cribworthy, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We take your privacy seriously. Our goal is to be transparent about what data we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used — so you can make informed decisions about using our Site.
2. Information We Collect
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our analytics partners automatically collect certain information, including:
- IP address and approximate geographic location (country/region)
- Browser type, version, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and navigation patterns
- Referring website (the URL you came from)
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- Date and time of your visit
Information You Provide Voluntarily
We do not currently collect personal information directly (such as name or email address) unless you contact us. If you reach out via email, we will retain your contact information solely to respond to your inquiry and will not use it for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience on the Site and analyze site traffic. Types of cookies we use include:
- Analytics cookies: We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site. These services may set cookies to track sessions and page views in an aggregated, privacy-friendly manner.
- Affiliate tracking: When you click an affiliate link (e.g., to Amazon), the destination retailer may set tracking cookies to attribute any resulting purchase to Cribworthy.
- Preference cookies:We may store preferences such as your display mode (light/dark) in your browser’s local storage. This data never leaves your device.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the Site or third-party services linked from it. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Understand how visitors use the Site and improve its content and performance
- Monitor traffic patterns and detect or prevent abuse or fraud
- Measure the effectiveness of our affiliate partnerships
- Identify which product categories and content resonate most with our audience
- Comply with legal obligations
- Respond to inquiries you send us
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Period.
5. Affiliate Tracking
Cribworthy participates in affiliate programs with retailers including Amazon and others. When you click an affiliate link on our Site, your browser may send a tracking identifier to the destination retailer. This allows the retailer to credit Cribworthy with any resulting sale and allows us to earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These tracking practices are governed by the respective retailer’s privacy policy — we encourage you to review them before making a purchase.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon’s privacy practices are described at amazon.com/privacy.
6. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may collect data about your visit:
Vercel Analytics
Provides privacy-friendly website analytics. Collects aggregated, anonymized data about page views and visitor behavior. No personal identifiers are stored.
Vercel (Hosting)
Our Site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may process server access logs including IP addresses as part of normal infrastructure operation. See Vercel’s Privacy Policy.
Amazon Associates
Clicking on Amazon product links may set affiliate tracking cookies managed by Amazon. Their use of your data is governed by Amazon’s privacy policy.
Other Affiliate Networks
Clicking on links to other retailers may redirect you to third-party sites. Their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
7. Data Retention
We retain analytics data in aggregated form for up to 24 months to identify trends and improve the Site. Email correspondence is retained as long as necessary to resolve the relevant inquiry, after which it is deleted. We do not retain personal data beyond what is necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
Affiliate tracking cookies set by third-party retailers are subject to those retailers’ own retention policies, which are typically 30–90 days.
8. Children’s Privacy
While Cribworthy covers baby and parenting products, the Site itself is intended for adults (parents, caregivers, and gift-givers) — not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
9. Your Rights

10. Changes to This Policy
