PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: May 15, 2026

The Standard Select (An Aquantium Company)

At The Standard Select, operated by Aquantium Group LLC, we believe in absolute transparency and integrity. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website (TheStandardSelect.com) download our educational promotional materials, or engage with our curated product vaults.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We do not scrape or sell user information. We only collect the minimal data required to provide you with the best research and value metrics:

  • Voluntary Information: When you sign up for our newsletter, download a free promotional guide (like The Household Audit), or submit a product to our Incubator, we collect your name and email address.

  • Automated Tracking (Cookies): Like most professional sites, our website framework (Squarespace) uses basic tracking mechanisms to collect anonymous technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, and the specific category pages you visit.

 

2. THIRD-PARTY TRACKING & AFFILIATE LINKING

  • The Amazon Connection: Because we act as an independent research database, clicking our custom [V² Vetted Badge Buttons] redirects you to Amazon.com.

  • Affiliate Cookies: Amazon utilizes tracking pixels and data identifiers to recognize that you arrived from our referral link. These mechanisms track your purchase path to calculate our small referral commission within their standard cookie tracking window.

  • Third-Party Policies: We do not control Amazon's internal tracking systems. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy protocols directly on Amazon.com once you leave our domain.

 

3. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA

We treat your personal information with the same respect we give a financial portfolio. We use your data strictly, to:

  • Deliver your requested free promotional materials and eBooks.

  • Send you updated (V² Vetted) Research Reports and brand announcements.

  • Analyze site traffic patterns to optimize our Category Board layouts.

  • The Commitment: We will never rent, sell, or trade your email address to third-party data brokers or spam networks. Your communication path stays directly between you and Aquantium.

 

4. DATA SECURITY & RETENTION

  • Our Shield: We utilize secure server layers (SSL encryption) provided through Squarespace to keep your technical connection fully protected.

  • Retention: We retain your email information only for as long as your subscription to our vault research remains active. You can opt-out and erase your data instantly at any time.

 

5. YOUR DATA RIGHTS & CONTROL

Regardless of your location, you have total authority over your information. You have the right to:

  • Request a direct copy of any personal data we hold.

  • Ask us to correct or update incorrect email records.

  • Click the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email to have your records completely purged from our active distribution lists.

 

6. GOVERNING LAW & CHANGES

This policy operates under the jurisdiction of the laws of the State of New York, USA. We reserve the right to modify this operational policy as privacy regulations update. Any changes will be posted immediately on this page with an updated effective date.
