Privacy Policy

ExpertPicks, We operates the website expertpicks.org, a product-research, review, and recommendation publication. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

ExpertPicks is not an online store. We do not sell products, and we do not take payments or process orders. When you decide to buy a product we recommend, you do so on a third-party retailer’s website (such as Amazon), under that retailer’s own terms and privacy policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. If you contact us through our contact form or by email, or leave a comment, we collect the information you choose to provide — such as your name, email address, and your message.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the site that referred you, and how you interact with our pages.

We do not collect payment, billing, or shipping details, because we do not sell products.

2. Cookies and tracking technologies

We and our third-party partners use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies to run the Site, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and measure how the links and ads on our pages perform.

Third parties — including Amazon and our analytics and advertising providers — may set and read cookies on your device when you visit the Site or click our links. These cookies may be used to attribute referrals, measure conversions, and, where applicable, deliver relevant advertising. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by those third parties’ own privacy policies.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings and through the cookie-consent tool on our Site.

3. Affiliate links

Our content contains affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, the retailer may set a cookie that allows a commission to be credited to us, at no extra cost to you. For more detail, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

4. Analytics

We use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site. These services collect information such as pages visited, time spent on the Site, and approximate location derived from IP address, and provide us with aggregated reports.

5. Advertising and conversion measurement

We may use advertising and conversion-measurement services (such as Google Ads) that use cookies to measure how our campaigns perform and, where you have consented, to show relevant ads. Where required, we apply consent controls (including Google Consent Mode) so these technologies load only in line with your cookie choices.

6. How we use information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our content
• To respond to your questions, comments, and requests
• To analyze traffic and understand usage trends
• To measure and improve how our links and campaigns perform
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or abuse
• To meet our legal obligations

7. How we share information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us run the Site (for example, hosting and analytics), under confidentiality obligations
• Third-party platforms whose technologies operate on our Site (for example, Amazon and Google), as described above
• Legal authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights
• A successor entity, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

8. Third-party websites

Our Site links to third-party websites, including retailers such as Amazon. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information or making a purchase.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, and to opt out of certain uses of your data. To exercise these rights, contact us at [your email address]. You can also:

• Adjust your cookie preferences through our consent tool or your browser
• Opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Unsubscribe from any emails using the link in the message

10. Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, or as required by law, and we use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

11. Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.

12. International visitors

We are based in USA. If you access the Site from elsewhere, your information may be processed in a country with different data-protection laws than your own.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes take effect when posted on this page, and we will update the “Last updated” date above.
