Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. It applies to honestreview.guide.
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it to reply and nothing else.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and analytics record technical data when you visit: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed and time of visit. This is used in aggregate to understand which reviews are useful and to keep the site working.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes:
- Analytics — to measure traffic and understand which content people read.
- Affiliate tracking — when you click a link to a merchant, that merchant may set a cookie so a resulting purchase is credited to us.
Third parties whose content or links appear on this site — including video embeds and affiliate networks — may set their own cookies. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking them does not stop you from reading anything on this site.
Video embeds
Review pages embed video. We load video players only after you click play, which means the video provider does not receive data about you unless you choose to watch. Once you press play, the provider's own privacy policy applies to that playback.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain and improve the site
- To understand which content readers find useful
- To respond to messages you send us
- To detect abuse and protect the site
We do not sell personal information, and we do not run an email marketing list.
Sharing
We share data only with service providers who help us operate the site (hosting and analytics), and where required by law. Affiliate networks receive click data when you follow a link to a merchant, which is how commissions are attributed.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, or object to certain processing. California residents have specific rights under the CCPA, including the right to know and the right to delete; we do not sell personal information as that term is defined there. To make a request, email us.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Data retention and security
Technical logs are kept only as long as they are useful for security and analytics. We take reasonable measures to protect information, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and revise the date below.
