Introduction
HearingAidHQ is an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Charlie Strong Jr.. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when visitors access the site, submit a contact request, or interact with pages that include advertising, analytics, or affiliate links. By using the site, visitors acknowledge that information practices may vary depending on the pages viewed, the devices used, and the services connected to the site.
This policy is intended to describe the general practices of the site, but it may not capture every data flow handled by third-party services. Those services may collect and process information under their own policies, and individual experiences may differ.
Information We Collect
The site may collect information that is provided directly or generated automatically. This can include contact form submissions, such as a name, email address, message content, and any details shared in a request. The site may also receive referral information, browser and device details, pages visited, approximate location data derived from IP address, and interaction data used for analytics or advertising attribution.
Advertising and affiliate partners may use click identifiers such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid to help attribute traffic and conversions. Cookies and similar technologies may also store session information, consent preferences, and identifiers used by analytics or ad platforms. Some information may be collected automatically when a visitor follows a link from search results, social media, or another website.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the website, measure traffic, understand content performance, and support conversion tracking for advertising and affiliate relationships. The site may also use submitted contact details to respond to questions, comments, or privacy requests.
Many customer reviews describe useful content navigation and relevant offers, but results vary based on the visitor’s needs, device settings, and the services used. The site may also use data to improve page layout, detect abuse, and maintain basic security and functionality.
Third Parties
The site works with third parties that may collect or process information in connection with visits or link clicks. These may include:
- Google Ads
- Microsoft Ads
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods
- Hosting provider
- Email provider
Each third party may use its own cookies, tags, pixels, or server-side tools. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies, and the data collected may be shared according to the settings, consent choices, and technical integrations involved.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to keep the site functioning, remember preferences, measure performance, and support ad attribution. These tools can help distinguish returning visitors, track link clicks, and understand which pages receive traffic.
Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings or device-level privacy controls. Blocking cookies may affect how some features work, and some tracking or personalization may be reduced or unavailable. Individual experiences may differ depending on browser configuration and consent settings.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws may provide rights to access, delete, correct, or limit the use of personal information. Where applicable under GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws, visitors may also have rights to object to certain processing activities, including targeted advertising or profiling.
Requests can generally be made using the contact details below. Because some data is processed by third parties, certain requests may need to be directed to the relevant service provider as well. The availability of rights can depend on jurisdiction and the type of data involved.
Data Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the site, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, maintain records, and support legitimate business purposes such as analytics and conversion tracking. Retention periods may vary based on the type of information collected and the service that stores it.
Some logs, analytics records, and affiliate attribution data may be kept for a limited period before being deleted or anonymized. When no longer needed, data may be removed or processed in a way that no longer identifies a specific visitor.
