At The Shopper's Lens (accessible from theshopperslens.com), we prioritize the privacy and security of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect and how we utilize it in accordance with applicable global regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
1. Information We Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. We do not require visitors to register an account or provide personal information to browse our reviews and informational guides.
- Log Files & Technical Data: Like standard web hosts, our servers record standard technical logs when you visit our pages. This includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts. These logs are not linked to any personally identifiable information and are strictly used for server health, analytics, and fraud prevention.
- Communication Data: If you contact us directly via email (at contact@theshopperslens.com), we receive the contact details and message contents you choose to provide. We use this exclusively to reply to your inquiry.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use standard web cookies to enhance site functionality, analyze general traffic trends, and verify affiliate referral paths.
Affiliate Cookies: When you click on outgoing vendor links on our site (such as through ClickBank, BuyGoods, Digistore24, or direct merchant programs), a standard tracking cookie is placed by the merchant or platform network. This cookie identifies The Shopper's Lens as the referring publisher so we can receive an affiliate commission if you purchase. These cookies do not store sensitive personal information like names or payment credentials.
3. Third-Party Links & Merchant Websites
Our website contains links to external merchant platforms where products are described and sold. Once you leave The Shopper's Lens and navigate to a vendor's checkout or promotional website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website you visit.
