Last Revised: February 11, 2026

ProductReviews.org (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects the privacy of its website visitors, users, and shoppers. We are committed to protecting the personal information you may share with us (collectively referred to as “you” or “users”).

ProductReviews.org is a U.S.-focused product review platform designed to help American consumers make confident buying decisions through honest, in-depth, and easy-to-understand reviews. We feature U.S. brands, retailers, pricing context, and consumer standards, highlighting verified user experiences, pros and cons breakdowns, and clear rating systems to simplify comparison shopping.

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we collect from you, receive about you, or that you provide when visiting our website (ProductReviews.org), reading reviews, submitting feedback, or interacting with us. Please read this carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we treat it.

For purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended (“CPRA”), and other applicable privacy laws, we act as the data controller (or business under CPRA) for the personal data we collect.

1. What information do we collect?

We collect various categories of information to provide and improve our Services, prevent fraud, and deliver relevant content to U.S. shoppers.

  • Non-personal data: Anonymous, non-identifiable information such as aggregated usage statistics, browser type, and general visit patterns.
  • Personal Data: Information that can identify you, including name, email address, country or U.S. state (if provided), IP address, online identifiers (such as Google Click ID), and approximate device location data.

You are not legally obligated to provide personal data, but certain information may be required to access features like submitting reviews, signing up for newsletters, or receiving personalized recommendations. If you choose not to provide it, some features may be unavailable.

When you contact us, submit product feedback, or fill out forms, we collect the details you voluntarily provide (e.g., name, email, message) to respond and enhance our platform.

2. How do we collect your personal data?

We collect data when you provide it directly (e.g., through forms, emails, review submissions) or automatically during your use of the website. This includes:

  • Technical and behavioral data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device information, pages visited, time spent, clickstream, and referral sources.
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see section 8 below).
  • Third-party analytics tools that help us understand how visitors interact with our reviews and content.

3. Why do we process your personal data?

We use personal data for the following purposes:

  • Performance of a contract or pre-contract steps: Providing access to product reviews, answering inquiries, delivering newsletters or updates you requested.
  • Legitimate interests: Improving our Services and content, notifying you of updates or new reviews, sending relevant shopping tips or promotions (with opt-out options), collecting feedback, optimizing user experience, and protecting against fraud and security threats.
  • Legal compliance: Meeting tax, reporting, anti-fraud, or law enforcement obligations; enforcing our terms of use; protecting our rights, property, or safety, and the safety of our users.

4. Sharing data with third parties

We share personal data only when necessary with trusted service providers under strict contracts that protect your information. These include:

  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • Cloud hosting and storage services
  • Email and communication tools
  • Support and feedback systems
  • Legal, accounting, or compliance advisors

We may also disclose data in the event of a business transfer (merger, acquisition), to comply with legal requirements, respond to court orders, or prevent fraud and misuse.

Under the CPRA, we do not “sell” or “share” personal information for third-party marketing purposes (except with your explicit consent). Certain analytics uses may be considered a “sale” under CPRA; you can opt out via our cookie consent banner.

Non-personal data may be shared at our discretion.

5. Where do we store your data?

Your data is stored on secure servers located in various global locations, including those operated by reputable cloud-service providers.

6. International data transfers

Data may be transferred to, stored, and processed outside your country of residence, including to Israel (which has an EU adequacy decision) and the United States (using Standard Contractual Clauses or other approved safeguards). These transfers support Service delivery, backups, legal compliance, and efficient operations. For more information on safeguards, contact us.

7. Data retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to provide our Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. Once no longer needed, data is anonymized or securely deleted. Backups and certain metadata may be retained longer in accordance with provider policies.

8. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze site usage, and (with your consent) personalize content. Essential cookies are always active. Analytics and advertising cookies require your consent via our cookie banner.

You can manage preferences through the banner or your browser settings. For more on managing cookies, visit HTTP cookie.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption where appropriate, access controls, and staff training, to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure. We will notify relevant authorities and affected users of any data breach as required by law.

10. Your data subject rights

Depending on applicable laws (GDPR, CPRA, etc.), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, object to, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected]. We may verify your identity before processing requests.

EU residents may lodge complaints with their local data protection authority.
