1) What This Site Does (Affiliate Review Disclosure)

ProofPicked.com publishes product reviews, comparisons, and informational content. Some links on the Site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase—at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay and do not guarantee that a product is right for you. For more details, see our [Affiliate Disclosure / Disclaimer page link if you have one].

2) Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

A) Information You Provide Directly

  • Contact information (e.g., name, email) if you:

    • submit a form, request support, or contact us

  • Message content (what you send in a contact form or email)


  • Other details you choose to provide


B) Information Collected Automatically (When You Browse)

When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

  • Device and browser data (IP address, browser type, operating system)
  • Usage data (pages viewed, time on page, clicks, referring/exit pages)
  • Approximate location (derived from IP address)
  • Cookie identifiers and similar tracking technologies

3) Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:

  • operate the Site
  • understand traffic and performance (analytics)
  • remember preferences
  • measure affiliate link clicks and conversions

You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner/preferences tool. Blocking cookies may affect how the Site functions.

Do Not Track: Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard, we may not respond to them.

4) Analytics (Google Analytics 4 / “GA4”)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the Site.

GA4 may collect information such as:

  • IP address (processed by Google; exact handling depends on configuration and Google’s systems)
  • device type, browser, and operating system
  • pages viewed, time on site, and interactions (e.g., scrolls, outbound clicks)
  • approximate location (derived from IP address)

Google processes this data under its own terms and policies. You can learn more and opt out (where available) using:

  • Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on
  • Google’s privacy information

5) Affiliate Links & Partner Tracking

When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate partner or network may use cookies or tracking parameters to attribute a purchase to our Site. This may involve collecting:

  • click data (timestamp, referring page)
  • device/browser identifiers
  • purchase confirmation (typically non-sensitive order data)

We do not receive your full payment details. Purchases are processed on the merchant’s website under their privacy policy.

6) How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • operate, maintain, and improve the Site
  • respond to messages and provide support
  • understand site usage and performance
  • track affiliate link performance
  • prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • comply with legal obligations

7) How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers (hosting, analytics like GA4, security tools) who help us run the Site
  • Affiliate partners/networks when you click affiliate links (tracking attribution)
  • Legal/compliance if required by law or to protect rights and safety
  • Business transfers if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, some privacy laws treat certain ad/analytics sharing as a “sale” or “sharing.” See Your Privacy Rights below.

8) Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10) Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
