Privacy Policy

How ExpertReviews collects, uses and protects information when you visit expertreviews.blog. In short: we collect very little, we never sell your data, and purchases happen on the merchant's website, not ours.

Who we are

ExpertReviews (expertreviews.blog) is an independent website that publishes reviews of dietary supplements and consumer products. In this policy, "ExpertReviews", "we" and "us" refer to the operator of this website. You can reach us at contato@expertreviews.blog.

Information we collect

We collect as little personal information as possible. We do not sell products, take orders or process payments on this website.

  • Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the content of your message.
  • Comments. If you leave a comment, we collect the name, email address and text you submit, plus your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
  • Technical data. Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records server logs, which can include your IP address, browser type, device, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of each request.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. We and the tools described below may use cookies, pixels and local storage to keep the site working, understand how it is used and attribute affiliate referrals.

How we use information

  • To operate, secure and maintain the website.
  • To understand which pages are useful and improve our content.
  • To reply to messages and moderate comments.
  • To measure affiliate referrals, so we know when a visit to a merchant came from our site.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

Where the law requires a legal basis (for example, under the GDPR or Brazil's LGPD), we rely on our legitimate interests in running and improving the site, your consent where required (for example, for non-essential cookies), and compliance with legal obligations.

Cookies, analytics and affiliate links

Analytics and tag management

We use Google Tag Manager to load measurement tools on this website. These tools, such as Google Analytics when enabled, may set cookies and collect information about your visit, such as pages viewed, time on page, approximate location derived from your IP address, and device and browser details. Google processes this data according to its own Privacy Policy. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Microsoft Clarity

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our pages through behavioral metrics, heatmaps and session replays. Clarity captures how you interact with the site, such as scrolling, clicks and mouse movements, plus device and browser details, using first- and third-party cookies. It does not capture text you type into forms, and we do not use it to identify you. Website usage data is captured using cookies and other tracking technologies to provide improvements to our website. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Affiliate links

Some links on our reviews are affiliate links. When you click one, you leave our site and go to the merchant's website, which may be operated through an affiliate network or checkout platform such as BuyGoods. The merchant or network may place a cookie or use a tracking parameter to record that you came from ExpertReviews. Any information you enter on a merchant's website, including payment and shipping details, is collected by that merchant under its own privacy policy, not ours.

Your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, use your browser's privacy or "do not track" features, or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. Blocking cookies does not stop you from reading our content.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in exchange for money. We share information only:

  • With service providers that help us run the site, such as our web host (Hostinger), WordPress plugins and analytics providers, who process data on our behalf.
  • With affiliate networks and merchants, limited to the referral information created when you click an affiliate link.
  • When required by law, to respond to legal requests, or to protect the rights, safety and security of our users, ourselves or others.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here. Emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request. Comment data is kept while the comment is published. Server logs and analytics data are kept for the periods set by our providers. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including HTTPS encryption, to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. This includes rights under the EU and UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and other US state privacy laws, and Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD).

To make a request, email contato@expertreviews.blog. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

International transfers

We and our service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live, including the United States and Brazil. When we do, we rely on the safeguards provided by our providers and by applicable law.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for adults. The products we review are generally not meant for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets a higher age). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-party websites

Our reviews link to official product websites and other third-party sites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please read the privacy policy of any website you visit before sharing information with it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
