Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how HearingAidReviews, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Greg Biele, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors access the site or submit a contact request. It covers information collected through pages, forms, cookies, analytics tools, and advertising technologies. Because the site relies on affiliate links and ad platforms, some data collection may occur automatically when a page loads or a link is clicked. Individual experiences may differ based on browser settings and privacy controls.
Information We Collect
HearingAidReviews may collect information in a few ways, including directly from visitors and automatically through site technology.
- Contact form submissions, such as name, email address, and message content.
- Analytics data, including page views, session duration, clicks, and navigation patterns.
- Cookie identifiers and similar tracking data.
- Ad-platform click identifiers such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when they are present in a URL.
- Referrer information, which may show the page or website a visitor came from.
- Device and browser information, such as browser type, operating system, approximate location derived from network data, and screen or language settings.
Some of this information is collected automatically through scripts, tags, or server logs. Results vary based on device configuration, consent choices, and browser restrictions.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate and improve the site, understand how content performs, measure ad and affiliate traffic, and respond to questions sent through the contact form. Site analytics can help the editorial team identify which pages are visited most often and which content may need clarification. Conversion tracking may also be used to understand whether a click led to an affiliate referral or advertiser interaction, although outcomes can vary and are not always fully observable.
When a visitor submits a message, the information is used to reply and manage the request. Some data may also be used for security, fraud prevention, debugging, and maintaining site performance.

The site may share or allow access to information through service providers and advertising partners that help run the business. These parties may process data under their own terms and privacy notices.
- Google Ads: may receive or process advertising identifiers and conversion data.
- Microsoft Ads: may receive or process advertising identifiers and conversion data.

Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, understand visitor behavior, and support advertising measurement. Some cookies are necessary for basic site functions, while others help with analytics or ad attribution. Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings and, where available, consent tools. Blocking cookies may limit certain features or reduce measurement accuracy.
Advertising and affiliate tools may use these technologies to link a visit with a later conversion. Such tracking is commonly used on review sites, but results vary based on browser privacy features and consent settings.
Your Rights
Depending on location, visitors may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information. Some visitors may also opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of data sharing. If GDPR or CCPA applies, additional rights may be available, including the right to object to processing, restrict certain uses, or request information about categories of data collected and shared.
Requests can usually be made by contacting the site using the details below. The ability to honor a request may depend on legal obligations, technical limitations, verification needs, and whether the information is held by a third party under its own policies.
Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the site, maintaining records, resolving disputes, meeting legal obligations, and supporting security and fraud prevention. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of record. For example, contact form messages may be kept long enough to answer and document the request, while analytics records may be stored for a shorter or longer period based on platform settings.
When information is no longer needed, the site may delete it, anonymize it, or rely on service providers to remove it according to their retention schedules. Individual experiences may differ depending on the systems involved.
