Information We Collect
Information you provide
We collect information you choose to provide, such as:
- Contact information and message content when you reach out via our Contact page (for example, your name, email address, and the contents of your message).
- Information you submit through any forms that may be available on the Site (for example, feedback, corrections, or requests).
You are not required to provide personal information to browse most of the Site.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain information, such as:
- Device and connection details (for example, browser type, operating system, language, and approximate location inferred from IP address).
- Log and usage data (for example, pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring/exit pages, and clicks).
- Cookie and similar technology data (described below), which may include unique identifiers used for analytics and affiliate attribution.
Information from third parties
We may receive information from third parties in limited cases, such as:
- Analytics providers that help us understand Site performance.
- Affiliate and partner networks that may provide attribution data (for example, that a purchase occurred after an affiliate click) without necessarily providing your identity to us.
How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Operate and maintain the Site and its features.
- Respond to requests and communicate with you (for example, replying to support or feedback).
- Improve content quality and user experience (for example, fixing broken pages or updating comparisons on Compare and Reviews).
- Measure performance of content, including guides in Use Cases and research pages in Research.
- Support affiliate attribution when you click affiliate links (see “Affiliate Links and Third-Party Websites”).
We may also use information to comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Use, prevent fraud, and protect the security of the Site.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may also use similar technologies (like pixels or local storage) to operate the Site and understand usage.
Depending on how the Site is configured over time, cookies may include:
- Essential cookies: required for the Site to function (for example, security and basic preferences).
- Performance/analytics cookies: help us understand how visitors use the Site (for example, which pages are most popular).
- Affiliate tracking cookies: help attribute referrals when you click affiliate links so we can earn a commission (see Affiliate Disclosure).
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- delete existing cookies,
- block cookies, or
- alert you when cookies are being set.
If you block cookies, parts of the Site may not function as intended, and affiliate attribution may not work properly.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no universal standard for interpreting these signals, the Site may not respond to all Do Not Track requests.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Websites
Some pages on the Site include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and later purchase a product or service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate partners and third-party websites you visit may collect information directly from you and may use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies.
For details on how affiliate links work on our Site, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
We may share information in the following situations:
- Service providers: We may share information with vendors that help us operate the Site (for example, hosting, analytics, security, and performance services). They are authorized to use information only as needed to provide services to us.
- Legal and security reasons: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security, including investigating fraud or abuse.
- Business changes: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We do not publish your personal contact details on the Site.
Data Retention
We keep information for as long as needed to provide the Site and fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Retention may vary depending on the type of data (for example, server logs, analytics records, or communications).
Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
