Privacy and finder choices

Your freezer answers describe a product need, not your identity.

The finder asks about appliance requirements such as opening style, capacity, defrost and surrounding-room temperature. Do not place a name, address, health detail or other personal information in a choice field. It matches those choices against documented model facts; a result is not a compatibility certificate.

Central purchase-page choices

If a finder result opens a BuyerShortlists assessment page, the public question IDs and selected values travel in the browser's URL fragment. The central page displays those choices separately from its fixed editorial assessment scenario and offers a return link to the source finder. The fragment is user-controlled, can be edited or shared, and is not proof that the model is compatible. It is not added to the Amazon search query.

To calculate a shortlist, the finder sends the selected public answers to this site's matching endpoint; the rendered interface does not ask for a name or email address. After a successful match, the interface keeps the returned answer set in tab-scoped session storage so its resume and clear controls work. It is not a permanent saved profile and normally ends with that browser tab's session. The retailer link appears only after a visitor actively chooses it on the central page; it uses a fixed, authored product search rather than an arbitrary destination. The central page's answer fragment is not added to the Amazon search query.

Hosting and data practices

The finder does not request contact or account details. Browser answer state is tab-scoped, as described above. Requests to the site and matching endpoint may create technical server logs. Hosting-provider logging, retention and any analytics are separate from the tab-scoped answer state described here.
