Privacy Policy
Introduction
At ireviews.site, your privacy matters. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit our website, how it’s used, how it’s safeguarded, and the choices you have. This notice applies only to data collected through our website and does not cover practices of third parties we link to, including Amazon.
Amazon Associates Program
ireviews.site participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that allows websites to earn commissions by linking to Amazon.co.uk and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. When you click an Amazon affiliate link on our site, Amazon may place cookies or use similar technologies to attribute your visit and purchases to our referral, at no additional cost to you. For details on Amazon’s data practices, please review Amazon’s Privacy Notice on their site.
Information We Collect
-
Direct collection: We do not directly collect personal information (such as your name, email address, or mailing address) through contact forms or account registrations on our site at this time.
-
Automatic collection via third parties: When you click affiliate links to Amazon, Amazon may automatically collect certain data, which can include IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed on Amazon via referral, and timestamps. This collection is governed by Amazon’s policies.
-
Website analytics and technical logs (if used): Our hosting and security services may automatically log non-identifying information such as IP address, user agent, referring/exit pages, and timestamps for performance, security, and abuse prevention. If enabled, web analytics tools may collect aggregated usage metrics. We do not attempt to identify you from this data.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
-
What they are: Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function, remember preferences, and understand usage. Pixels and local storage are similar technologies.
-
How we use them: We use essential cookies for basic site functionality. Third-party cookies (e.g., Amazon) may be set when you click outbound affiliate links to measure referrals and commissions. We do not control third‑party cookies once you leave our site.
-
Your choices: You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how certain features work or how referrals are attributed. Some browsers and extensions also offer tracker/cookie controls.
How We Use Information
-
Affiliate attribution: To attribute referrals and analyze the performance of our content and links.
-
Site operations and security: To operate, protect, and improve site reliability and prevent abuse (e.g., rate limiting, firewall logs).
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We do not merge non-identifying analytics/technical logs with personal data.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
-
With service providers: We may use reputable hosting, security, and analytics providers to operate our site; they may process limited data on our behalf under contractual safeguards.
-
With affiliate platforms: When you click an affiliate link, information necessary for referral attribution is shared with the affiliate network or merchant (e.g., Amazon) via their technologies. Their use of data is governed by their privacy policies.
-
Legal and safety: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
Your Choices and Rights
-
Cookie controls: You can disable or delete cookies through your browser. Note that this may limit tracking functionality and could affect referral attribution or shopping experience.
-
Do Not Track/Global Privacy Control: Our site does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals; third parties may have their own responses. You may use browser-level Global Privacy Control where available.
-
Access, correction, deletion: Because we do not directly collect personal data through forms or accounts, we typically have no data to access, correct, or delete. Requests regarding data collected by Amazon or other third parties should be directed to them.
Data Retention
We retain site logs and aggregated analytics only as long as necessary for security, troubleshooting, and performance analysis, after which they are deleted or anonymized. Affiliate reporting data is retained in aggregated form for performance tracking and compliance.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including secure hosting, access controls, and least‑privilege practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and risk cannot be eliminated.
Children’s Privacy
Our content is intended for a general audience and not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us to request deletion.
Third‑Party Links
Our site contains links to third‑party websites (including Amazon). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which you should review. We are not responsible for third‑party content or practices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes may be highlighted for visibility.
