Privacy policy

Last updated Nov 9, 2026

FarmerTested (farmertested.com) is written by a network of working growers based in Waxhaw, NC. We collect as little as we can. Here's what that means.

The newsletter

If you sign up for the FarmerTested Report, we collect your email address. Our email provider, Kit (formerly ConvertKit), stores it and sends the emails. Kit may also record technical details such as when and where you signed up, and whether emails are opened or clicked.

  • We use your email only to send the newsletter and occasional updates about FarmerTested.
  • You can unsubscribe anytime with the link at the bottom of every email.
  • To have your address deleted entirely, email us (below).

Hosting and analytics

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. We don't run Google Analytics, advertising trackers or social media pixels. The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused tool that collects cookieless, aggregate visit statistics through a Cloudflare beacon. The true-cost calculator runs entirely in your browser, and what you type into it isn't sent to us.

Affiliate links and cookies

Some links on this site are affiliate links (see our disclosure). When you click one, the retailer or affiliate network may set a cookie or use similar tracking in your browser so they can credit FarmerTested if you buy something. These include programs such as Amazon Associates, Awin, Refersion, UpPromote and Impact. Those cookies are set by them, not by us, and are covered by their privacy policies. We usually see only summary reports, such as clicks and commissions. We don't receive your name, address or payment details.

You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time. Purchases still work; we just may not get credit for them.

What we don't do

  • We don't sell, rent or trade your personal information.
  • We don't share your email with brands or advertisers.
  • We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.
