Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 22, 2026 This Privacy Policy explains how HandpickedReviews ("we", "us") handles information when you visit handpickedreviews.com (the "Site"). We keep it short because we deliberately collect as little as possible. Information we do not collect We do not have user accounts, logins, comments, newsletters or contact forms that submit data to us. We do not ask you for your name, address, payment details or government identifiers, and we do not build profiles of individual readers. Information that is collected automatically Like almost every website, our hosting provider and content delivery network keep standard server logs when a page is requested. Those logs can include your IP address, the date and time of the request, the page and referring URL, your browser user-agent string and basic error information. We use them only to serve pages, keep the Site secure, diagnose faults and understand aggregate traffic volumes. We do not use them to identify individual readers. Cookies and similar technologies The Site itself does not set advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not run third-party analytics or tracking scripts. Cookies you may receive come from the destinations you click through to, as described below. Affiliate links and Amazon HandpickedReviews earns money through affiliate commissions. Product links on this Site lead to Amazon. When you click one, Amazon may set its own cookies and process information under its own privacy notice; that processing is controlled by Amazon, not by us. We do not receive your name, payment details or order contents from Amazon. What we can receive is aggregate or order-level commission reporting that tells us a purchase happened, without giving us your identity. If we ever work with an additional affiliate network, those links will be disclosed in the same way and their own privacy notices will apply. How we use information We use the limited technical information described above to operate the Site, keep it available and secure, fix errors, measure overall traffic, and understand which guides are useful. Sharing We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We share information only with the service providers that host and deliver the Site, and only to the extent needed to run it, or where we are legally required to do so. Data retention Server logs are kept for a short operational period and then discarded or aggregated. Because we do not hold account data, there is usually no personal record about you for us to retain. Your rights Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your personal information, or to object to it. Since we do not hold reader accounts, we usually cannot identify you in our records at all. If you believe we hold information about you and want it deleted, email us at editorial@handpickedreviews.com with enough detail for us to look into it, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. Children The Site is written for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Changes to this policy If our practices change, for example if we add an analytics tool, we will update this page and change the date at the top. Contact Questions about this policy, or a request about your data, can be sent to editorial@handpickedreviews.com. A person reads that inbox.
