We get it, nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But since we’re asking you to trust us with your information, we figured we owe you a straightforward explanation of what we collect and what we do with it.
By using DeepReviewLab, you’re agreeing to this privacy policy. If something here doesn’t sit right with you, please don’t use the site.
What Information We Collect
We collect two types of information when you visit our site:
Information You Give Us Directly
This is stuff you voluntarily share with us, like when you:
- Leave a comment on a review
- Contact us through our contact form
In these cases, we’ll collect things like your name and email address. We only collect this because you chose to share it, and we only use it for the specific reason you gave it to us (like sending you the newsletter you signed up for).
Information We Collect Automatically
When you browse our site, we automatically collect some technical information:
- Your IP address
- What browser and device you’re using
- Which pages you visit and how long you stay
- How you got to our site (like from Google or a link from another site)
This is pretty standard website stuff. We use it to understand how people use our site so we can make it better and faster.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Run the website – Keep things working smoothly, load pages quickly, and fix problems when they pop up.
Send you stuff you asked for – If you signed up for our newsletter, we’ll email you our latest reviews. If you contact us with a question, we’ll respond.
Improve your experience – We look at which reviews people read and what they’re interested in so we can create more of the content you actually want.
Keep the site secure – We monitor for suspicious activity, spam, and anything else that might mess with the site or our visitors.
Show you relevant ads – Only if you give us permission (more on that below).
Cookies and Tracking
Like pretty much every website on the internet, we use cookies. These are small files that get stored on your device to remember your preferences and help the site work better.
We use cookies for:
- Remembering your settings and preferences
- Understanding which content is popular
- Showing you relevant ads (only with your permission)
When you first visit our site, you’ll see a popup asking about cookies. You’re in control here, you can accept all cookies, reject the optional ones, or customize your preferences. You can change your mind anytime by clicking “Manage Cookies” in the footer.
Affiliate Links and Third Parties
Here’s the deal with affiliate links: We include affiliate links in our reviews (mainly Amazon). If you click one of these links and buy something, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and buy products to review. It doesn’t influence what we recommend, we only link to products we genuinely think are worth considering.
Third-party websites: When you click a link that takes you off our site (like to Amazon or a manufacturer’s website), you’re subject to their privacy policy, not ours. We don’t control what they do with your information.
Ad partners: If you’ve given consent for personalized ads, we work with advertising partners (including Google) who may collect information about your visit. They have their own privacy policies that explain how they handle data.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes we collected it for. For example:
- Newsletter email addresses: Until you unsubscribe
- Contact form messages: Usually a few months after we’ve resolved your inquiry
- Automatic log data: Typically 12-24 months
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you might have specific legal rights regarding your personal information. These can include:
- Access: Ask us what information we have about you
- Correction: Fix any incorrect information
- Deletion: Ask us to delete your information (with some exceptions)
- Objection: Tell us to stop using your information in certain ways
- Withdraw consent: Change your mind about things you previously agreed to
To exercise any of these rights, just email us at [your contact email]. We’ll respond as quickly as we can.
If you’re in the EU, UK, or California, you have additional protections under GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA. We respect those laws and will honor your rights under them.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes secure servers, encryption where appropriate, and limiting who on our team can access personal information.
That said, no website is 100% secure. We do our best, but we can’t guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Our site isn’t intended for kids under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from children. If you’re a parent and think your child has given us their information, please contact us and we’ll delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this privacy policy occasionally. When we do, we’ll change the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If we make major changes, we’ll try to notify you (like through a notice on the site).
Your continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
