Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25 September 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information BuyerRank.com (“BuyerRank”, “we”, “us”) collects when you visit this website, why we collect it, and what choices you have. We have tried to write it in plain English rather than legal boilerplate.
The short version
- We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell your personal information.
- We collect anonymous analytics about how the site is used.
- We use cookies, including cookies set by advertising and affiliate partners such as Amazon.
- If you email us, we keep your email so we can reply.
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you contact us by email or leave a comment, we receive whatever you choose to send — typically your name, your email address and the content of your message. We use it to reply to you and for nothing else.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server and analytics tools record technical information each time a page is requested: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the page you requested, the page that referred you, and the date and time. This data is used in aggregate to understand which articles are useful and to keep the site secure and working.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. We and our partners use them to:
- remember your preferences and keep the site functioning
- measure traffic and understand which pages readers find useful
- attribute a purchase to this site when you follow an affiliate link, so that the retailer knows the referral came from us.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking cookies will not stop you reading the site, but some features may not behave as expected.
Third-party services we use
Amazon Associates Program
BuyerRank.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click a link from this site to Amazon, Amazon may place a cookie in your browser so that any qualifying purchase you make can be attributed to us. That cookie is set and controlled by Amazon, not by us, and we do not receive your name, address, payment details or the contents of your Amazon cart. Amazon reports only aggregate, anonymised referral and commission data to us. Amazon’s handling of your data is governed by the Amazon Privacy Notice.
Analytics
We use web analytics services to understand traffic patterns. These services set cookies and process usage data on our behalf. We do not use analytics data to identify individual readers.
Other affiliate and advertising partners
We may participate in other affiliate programs. Those partners may also use cookies to attribute referrals. Each partner processes data under its own privacy policy.
How we use information
- to publish, maintain and improve the site
- to reply to messages you send us
- to measure which articles are read and how readers arrive
- to detect abuse, spam and security problems
- to attribute affiliate referrals and receive the commission that funds the site.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and we do not use your data to build advertising profiles ourselves.
How long we keep information
Analytics data is retained in aggregate form. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards as a record. You can ask us to delete your correspondence at any time.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, or to object to certain processing. Residents of California have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to request deletion; we do not sell personal information as that term is defined in those laws. Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have rights under the GDPR.
To exercise any of these rights, email contact@buyerrank.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Children
This site is intended for adults making purchasing decisions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
Our articles link to retailers and manufacturers. Once you leave BuyerRank.com, this policy no longer applies; the site you land on has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to read them.
Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the site and the limited data it handles, including serving the site over HTTPS. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be noted on this page.
