Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how ReviewsAnalysis (the "site", "we") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit reviewsanalysis.com. The policy is written to satisfy the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s privacy expectations for affiliate publishers.
Last updated 12 May 2026.
Who we are
ReviewsAnalysis is an independent affiliate publisher producing product reviews and buying guides for UK, Ireland, and French consumer markets. Our website address is https://reviewsanalysis.com. For privacy-related queries, contact [email protected].
What data we collect
We collect the minimum data necessary to run the site:
- Comments — when visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the IP address, and the browser user-agent string to help with spam detection.
- Newsletter signups — email address only.
- Contact form submissions — the data you choose to send us via the contact form.
- Server logs — standard web-server logs (IP, user-agent, requested URL, timestamp) retained for security and abuse prevention.
- Analytics — aggregated visitor data via Google Analytics 4 / similar tools (pageviews, country, device type). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
Cookies
We use the following cookies:
- Essential cookies — required for the site to function (e.g. comment form remembering your name).
- Affiliate-tracking cookies — set by third-party affiliate networks (e.g. Awin, CJ, Amazon Associates, retailer-native programs) when you click an affiliate link. These cookies record your click so the retailer can attribute any subsequent purchase back to ReviewsAnalysis. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
- Analytics cookies — used to measure aggregate site usage.
You can disable cookies in your browser, but parts of the site may stop working. If you are in the UK or EU, our cookie banner provides granular opt-in / opt-out controls in line with PECR and GDPR.
How we use your data
We use the data we collect to:
- Display and moderate comments.
- Send newsletter emails to subscribers who opted in (you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email).
- Respond to contact form submissions.
- Prevent abuse and protect site security.
- Measure aggregate site performance and improve content.
- Earn affiliate commissions on qualifying purchases.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, and social media posts. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if the visitor has visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including if you are logged in to that other website.
Who we share your data with
We share data with the following categories of third parties only where necessary:
- Affiliate networks (e.g. Awin, CJ, Amazon Associates) — click and conversion tracking.
- Email service provider — to deliver our newsletter.
- Web analytics provider (e.g. Google Analytics) — aggregate usage measurement.
- Web hosting and CDN providers — to serve the site.
- Spam detection service — visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Legal authorities — only when required by law.
We never sell your personal data.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically. Newsletter subscribers’ email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe. Contact form submissions are retained for 24 months. Server logs are retained for 90 days. Analytics data is retained according to the analytics provider’s default settings (typically 14 months).
Your rights
Under UK / EU GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request erasure of your personal data (subject to legal retention obligations).
- Object to or restrict our processing.
- Request a portable copy of your data.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (in the UK: ICO).
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within one month.
International data transfers
Some of our service providers are based outside the UK / EU (for example, U.S.-based analytics and hosting providers). Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other approved safeguards.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
