Introduction
HearingAidTested is an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Horizon Internet Ventures. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, shared, and retained when visitors access the site, submit a contact form, click outbound links, or interact with advertising and analytics tools. The site is intended to provide product information and referral content; however, visitors should assume that results, offers, and site experiences may vary based on device, location, and other factors.
This policy applies to information collected through the website itself and related communications. It does not govern third-party websites that may be reached through links on the site, including merchant pages, ad networks, or affiliate destinations, each of which may have its own privacy practices.
Information We Collect
The site may collect information in several ways. Some data is provided directly by visitors, such as contact form submissions. Other data may be collected automatically through cookies, analytics tools, and advertising technologies.
- Contact form submissions, including name, email address, and the content of the message.
- Cookie and analytics data, including page views, clicks, session activity, and approximate usage patterns.
- Ad-platform click identifiers such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when those parameters are present in a URL.
- Referrer information showing the page or site that sent a visitor to HearingAidTested.
- Device and browser information, including browser type, operating system, screen size, and general technical details.
Some of this information may be combined to understand how visitors navigate the site and which pages appear to perform better. Because tracking tools depend on browser settings, consent choices, and platform behavior, results vary and individual experiences may differ.
How We Use Information
Information collected on the site may be used for site analytics, conversion tracking, fraud prevention, performance measurement, and responding to messages sent through the contact form. These uses help the site understand which pages receive traffic, how users move through the content, and whether outbound referral links appear to function as intended.
Contact details submitted by visitors may be used to reply to questions, resolve technical issues, or follow up on privacy requests. Analytics and advertising data may also be used to improve content layout and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns run through search and social platforms. Some customer experiences may vary based on browser privacy settings, ad blockers, or consent preferences.
Third Parties
HearingAidTested may share or allow access to data through service providers and advertising partners that help operate the site. Those third parties may collect or receive information subject to their own policies and settings.
- Google Ads, which may use cookies or similar identifiers for advertising and conversion measurement.
- Microsoft Ads, which may use click identifiers and related tracking signals for campaign attribution.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may track referrals and commissions when a visitor clicks an affiliate link.
- The hosting provider, which may process server logs, security data, and technical access records.
- The email provider, which may process messages sent to the site’s contact address.
These third parties may process limited personal or device information to perform their services. Their data practices can differ, so visitors may wish to review their respective privacy notices for more detail.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The site may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to support essential site functions, remember preferences, measure traffic, and evaluate advertising performance. Cookies can help recognize returning browsers and connect clicks to completed actions, though tracking accuracy may vary across devices and platforms.
Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings and, where offered, consent tools on the site. Disabling some cookies may affect certain features or reduce the quality of analytics and advertising measurement. In some cases, ad platforms and affiliate partners may still receive limited information about visits or clicks through other technical methods.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information. Visitors may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of data sharing. Under laws such as the GDPR and CCPA, applicable rights can depend on the nature of the information collected and the role of each service provider.
To the extent those rights apply, requests may be submitted through the contact details below. The site may need to verify identity before responding. Some requests can be limited by legal obligations, security needs, or the technical limits of third-party systems. Not all rights apply in every jurisdiction, and individual experiences may differ.
Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating the site, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and supporting analytics or fraud-prevention functions. Contact messages may be retained for a period needed to address the request and maintain records of prior correspondence.
Retention periods can vary depending on the type of record, the service provider involved, and applicable law. Because some logs and analytics systems store information in aggregated or historical form, deletion from one system may not immediately remove every copy from backups or archived records.
