Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 2025

TopRatedEverything.com (“we,” “our,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1) Information we collect

  • Information you provide directly
    If you contact us (e.g., by email or a contact form), we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
  • Automatic data
    When you visit the site, we may automatically receive technical information from your browser or device (e.g., IP address, device type, pages visited, timestamps, referring/exit pages). This helps us operate and secure the site.
  • Cookies & similar technologies
    We use cookies to run the site, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use our pages. Some third parties (e.g., analytics or affiliate partners) may set their own cookies when you click their links.

2) How we use information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the website
  • To respond to inquiries and provide support
  • To analyze aggregate usage (what pages are read, site performance)
  • To detect, prevent, and address fraud or security issues
  • To comply with legal obligations

3) Analytics (if enabled)

We may use privacy-respecting analytics or services such as Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage. These tools may set cookies and collect usage data (IP address may be truncated/obfuscated where supported). You can opt out of Google Analytics with the official browser add-on.

4) Affiliate links & third-party sites

  • Amazon Associates
    TopRatedEverything.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon may place cookies to track referrals and purchases according to their own policies.
  • Other affiliates
    We may link to other retailers or partners. When you follow a link, that site’s terms and privacy policy apply. We are not responsible for third-party practices.

5) Do we sell personal information?

No. We do not sell your personal information. If you are a California resident, you may use our contact details below for CCPA/CPRA requests. We honor “Do Not Sell or Share” requests as applicable.

6) Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

Where GDPR applies, we process personal data on these bases:

  • Legitimate interests (site operation, security, analytics)
  • Consent (non-essential cookies where required)
  • Legal obligation (records, compliance)

7) Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
  • Data portability (copy of your data in a usable format)

To exercise rights, contact us. We may need to verify your identity.

8) Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above, to resolve disputes, and to comply with legal requirements.

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10) Children’s privacy

Our site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in certain regions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11) International transfers

We may process information in countries other than where you reside. Those countries may have different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards.

12) Your choices

  • Cookies: You can control cookies via your browser settings (block, delete, or limit cookies). Note: some features may not work without cookies.
  • Emails: If we ever send newsletters (not typical for this site), you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us.

13) Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” above shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
