Last updated: November 5, 2026. This policy explains what information splitsecnd.com collects, why, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only, not to third-party sites we link to.
Who we are
splitsecnd.com is an independent, editorial road-safety guide. The domain was acquired in 2026 and has no connection to any company that previously operated under the splitsecnd name. For privacy questions, contact us through our contact page.
What we collect
- Analytics data: we use Vercel Analytics to count page views and understand which guides are useful. It collects anonymized, aggregated data such as page path, referrer, and derived country or region, without using cookies to identify you personally.
- Tool data: our reaction-time test and stopping distance calculator run entirely in your browser. Results are not sent to us. The crash checklist saves your progress in your own browser's local storage and never leaves your device.
- Email: if you subscribe to a checklist or newsletter, we store your email address with our email delivery provider solely to send you what you asked for. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing takes effect immediately.
- Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) processes standard request data such as IP address and user agent for security and performance purposes.
Third parties we use
- Vercel - hosting and privacy-focused analytics (Vercel Analytics).
- Our email delivery provider - stores subscriber email addresses and sends our newsletter. We do not sell or rent email addresses.
- Affiliate merchants - clicking an affiliate link may set a cookie on the merchant's domain so a purchase can be attributed. Those cookies are governed by the merchant's privacy policy, not ours.
- Insurance quote forms: forms embedded from partners collect information under the partner's own privacy policy and consent language.
- Advertising: if display advertising is enabled in the future, this policy will be updated with the ad partner's name and an opt-out link before ads appear.
Cookies
We do not set advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The only storage we use directly is your browser's local storage for the crash checklist, which stays on your device. Affiliate merchants and embedded partner forms may set their own cookies when you interact with them; see their policies for details.
How long we keep data
- Email addresses: kept until you unsubscribe, then removed from our mailing list.
- Analytics data: retained by our analytics provider under its standard retention period.
- Tool results: never stored by us.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port the personal data we hold about you, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. California residents can exercise CCPA/CPRA rights; EU and UK residents can exercise GDPR rights. To make a request, contact us through our contact page. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children's privacy
Our content is written for parents, guardians, and adult drivers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Because much of our content is aimed at teen drivers and their parents, we are careful not to request personal details from teens; newsletter signup asks for an email address only, and we encourage parents to review any subscription made by a minor.
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when our practices change and revise the last-updated date above.
