Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the collection and use of certain details. They include personally identifiable information or PII from anyone who uses www.onlinesitereviews.com. Online Site Reviews (“OnlineSiteReviews.com”, “we”, “us”) operates www.onlinesitereviews.com (the “Site”) and its review and rating services (the “Review Service”). PII are pieces of particular information about Users that let OnlineSiteReviews.com identify you, your name, e-mail address, and/or home address. We make the Review Service available through third-party websites (“Third-Party Sites”) subscribed to the service.

BEFORE YOU BROWSE OR USE AND SEND ANY INFORMATION TO THIS SITE AND/OR THE REVIEW SERVICE, PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING ANY PART OF THIS SITE OR THE REVIEW SERVICE, USERS (“USERS” OR “YOU”) AGREE TO BE BOUND LEGALLY AND ABIDE BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOU CAN ALSO REFER TO OUR TERMS OF USE FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW YOU CAN USE AND ACCESS OUR SERVICES.

We commit to protecting the privacy and security of the information we may gather about you. In addition, we will use and share them carefully and sensibly.

About Children

This Site and the Review Service do not intend to serve children under 13 years old. Children under 13 years of age may not send us any PII. If we learned that we have gathered any such information accidentally from a child under 13 years of age, we will take all proper steps to delete them.

The Information We Collect

We collect “personal information” about Users of the Site and the Review Service in the normal course of our business. As used in this Privacy Policy, “personal information” are details that identify or can be associated with an identifiable person. Examples of personal information are name and email and mailing addresses.

Personal information exclude aggregate information or de-identified information. “Collective information” are details about site use, such as information collected about Users, or a category of services or Users, from which personal information have been removed.

Most of the personal information we receive may come from Users who register on the Site or through the Review Service. The information we request during registration include, without limitation, name, mailing address, e-mail address, and the date of birth. We may also collect demographic information and the ones in your postings on the Site or through the Review Service and from any email you send us.

We also receive and store information as you interact with us. For example, we use “cookies” to get details when your web browser accesses this Site or the Review Service. “Cookies” are small files that we transfer to your hard drive or browser to let our systems recognize it and to offer you convenience and other features. In addition to the cookies used by Online Site Reviews, third-party cookies from our advertising partners may also be placed in your computer, e.g. for retargeting.

Examples of the information we collect and analyze in this manner include the Internet Protocol (IP). An IP is the address that connect your computer to the Internet; computer and connection information such as browser and version, operating system, and platform; cookie number; your activities on our Site or through the Review Service, including the services you view or search for, as well as the URL you come from and go to next (whether that URL belongs to us or not). You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits. But, in such a case, you may not be able to use certain features or services on the Site or the Review Service.

All information are collected and used only as collections. They go to our database, where we can use them to generate overall reports on our Users and not individual reports that identify you.

How We Use the Information

The information collected about Users through this Site or through the Review Service, including PII, serve the following uses:

Customizing the Site or the Review Service.
Improving our services.
Offering you the features or services requested.
Communicating with you if you have authorized such communication.

Now and then, OnlineSiteReviews.com may contact you to request feedback on your experience as you use the Site or the Review Service or to offer special savings or promotions. We may use collective information about Users to conduct an analysis of the Site or the Review Service Users.

Personal information found on our Site or the Review Service may link together or merge with other data we have about you. If we receive personal information from third party service providers, we may merge them with other personal data we keep about you, within the limits of this Privacy Policy.

Now and then, we hire other firms and individuals to do various tasks for us. They may send postal mail and/or e-mail, analyze User data, and bring other data and services. In such cases, they may need to access your data to carry out their functions.

As we improve our business, we may engage in dealings such as mergers and acquisitions. Hence, another company may acquire OnlineSiteReviews.com or its business assets in the future. As such, we may share User information with the acquirer and/or other involved parties.

If you give us personal information through a Third-Party Site, we may share such information with the Third-Party Site. Likewise, we may also share personal information with third parties for their marketing. However, we give you the choice to opt out of such disclosures.

Except as otherwise stipulated, we do not sell individual PII to third parties. We may, still, sell collective information that do not identify any specific person to third parties.

Choice and Opt Out

We give Users the ability to “opt in” to getting certain communications from us. Users can have their information disclosed to third parties by placing their preferences during registration. We also let our Users opt out of receiving inquiries about submitting reviews through a link in each such email.

Opting out of communications from us will not keep you from receiving business messages such as about the Site or the Review Service’s operation or a review you submitted.

How We Protect Your Information

PII safeguarding is important to OnlineSiteReviews.com. To help prevent unauthorized access and keep data accuracy, we will employ reasonable and current Internet security methods and technologies. We store the PII you give us in a secured environment. We use a secure server hosting location, firewall protection, controlled access, and encryption technology to protect your PII. While no system is foolproof, we take security very seriously. Our security measures protect all information in a responsible manner.

California Consumer Privacy Rights

Important Information for California Residents

This section applies only to California residents. It describes how we collect, use, and share the personal information of California residents in running our business and the rights of California residents with respect to that personal information. In this section, “personal information” has the meaning given in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) but exclude information exempted from the scope of the CCPA.

Your California Privacy Rights

As a California resident, you have the following rights. However, these rights are not absolute, and, in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law.

Information. You can request the following details on how we have collected and used your personal information during the past 12 months
1. The categories of personal information we have collected
2. The categories of sources from which we collected personal information
3. The business or commercial purpose for collecting and/or selling personal information
4. The categories of third parties with whom we share personal information
5. Whether we have disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, and if so, the categories of personal information received by each category of third-party recipient
6. Whether we have sold your personal information, and if so, the categories of personal information received by each category of third-party recipient
Access. You can request a copy of the personal information we have collected about you during the past 12 months.
Deletion. You can ask us to delete the personal information we have collected from you.
Opt Out of Sales. You can refuse the sale of your personal information. In addition, if you direct us not to sell your personal information, we will consider it a request pursuant to California’s “Shine the Light” Act to stop sharing your personal information covered by that law with third parties for their direct marketing. We share your personal information with third parties in the following circumstances, which the California law classifies as a “sale” of your personal information:
1. Supplying your data to third parties with your express consent (e.g. where you opt in to receive third-party marketing or where you have requested a third party to contact you)
2. Giving attendee data to third parties that offer services and sending your data to providers (where you have consented to hear from such third parties)
3. As with many companies, we use services that help deliver interest-based ads, content, and services to you. California law classifies our use of these services as a “sale” of your personal information to the companies that supply the services. This occurs because we let them collect information from Users (e.g., online identifiers and browsing activity), so they can help serve ads, content, and services that may interest you.
Opt In. If we know you are younger than 16 years old, we will ask for your permission to sell your personal information before we do so.
Non-discrimination. You can exercise the rights described above free from discrimination. This means that we will not penalize you for exercising your rights by taking actions such as denying you our services; increasing the price of our services; decreasing our service quality; or suggesting that we may penalize you as described above for exercising your rights.

Exercising Your Right to Information Access, Deletion, or Opting out of the “Sale” of Your Personal Information

You may exercise your California privacy rights by submitting a request form or emailing info@onlinereviews.com quoting ‘California Privacy Rights’ in the subject header.

We will need to confirm your identity and California residency to work on your requests to exercise your information, access, or deletion rights. We cannot handle your request if you give us insufficient details to let us understand and respond to it.
