Full transparency on what data Price & Pick collects, how we use it, your rights under GDPR and CCPA, and how to manage your privacy preferences. Cross-reference our affiliate disclosure, terms of use, or cookie policy.
Price & Pick is an independent product review website operated by our 14-person editorial team. We test products, publish reviews, and help readers make better purchasing decisions. Read our about page for full company background or our testing methodology for editorial standards.
For the purposes of this policy, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Price & Pick. "You" refers to anyone who visits our site, subscribes to our newsletter, or interacts with us in any way. Our data controller is reachable via the contact page for any privacy-related questions.
We collect only the data needed for the site to function and to provide the services you request. We've structured our data collection to be minimal — if we don't need it, we don't collect it.
| Data Category | What's Collected | When |
|---|---|---|
| Account data | Email, hashed password, display name (optional) | If you create an account |
| Newsletter data | Email address, subscription preferences | If you subscribe |
| Usage data | Pages viewed, click events, session duration | Whenever you visit |
| Device data | Browser, OS, screen size, IP address (anonymized) | Whenever you visit |
| Cookies | Session identifiers, preferences, analytics | Per cookie policy |
| Contact form data | Name, email, message content | When you contact us |
We use the data we collect for specific, limited purposes — all related to running the site and delivering content you've asked for.
What we never do: We never sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. We never use your data for unrelated marketing purposes. We never share your reading habits with brands you might be researching. Your data isn't a product we sell — it's a responsibility we carry.
We use a small number of third-party service providers to help run the site. Each one is bound by privacy agreements that prevent misuse of your data. We choose providers based on their privacy track record, not just price.
Each provider only sees the minimum data needed for their function. Analytics providers see anonymized usage patterns. Email providers see your email address and the messages we send you. Affiliate networks see referral clicks, not your identity. We've reviewed each provider's privacy policy and only work with those meeting our standards.
We keep your data only as long as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, or maintain editorial records. Different data types have different retention periods.
To request immediate deletion of any data we hold about you, contact our team. We respond to data deletion requests within 30 days as required by law.
Regardless of where you live, you have rights regarding the data we hold about you. We honor these rights for all readers, not just those in jurisdictions that legally require it.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our team with the specific request. We'll respond within 30 days. There is no fee for these requests, and we don't ask for justification.
If you're in the European Union or United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you specific rights over your personal data. Price & Pick complies with GDPR for all EU/UK visitors.
Some of our service providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Cloudflare) are based in the United States. When we transfer EU/UK data to the US, we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission to ensure your data remains protected. You can request a copy of these clauses by emailing us via the contact page.
If you believe we've violated your GDPR rights, you can file a complaint with your local data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us first — we'd rather fix issues directly than have them go through regulators. We respond to GDPR-related complaints within 7 days.
If you're a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give you specific rights over your personal information. Price & Pick complies with both.
"Do Not Sell My Personal Information": Price & Pick does not sell your personal information to anyone, period. This means there's nothing to opt out of — but if you'd like written confirmation of this, contact our team and we'll provide it.
To exercise CCPA rights, contact our team. We verify your identity through your registered email address and respond within 45 days (extendable by 45 days if needed, with notice).
Price & Pick is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our reviews cover consumer products that are sometimes used by children (toys, kids' tech), but our audience and account holders must be adults.
If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact our team immediately. We will delete the information within 7 days and confirm the deletion with you.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Specific measures include:
No system is perfectly secure — but we've structured our practices to minimize risk. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it via our contact page. We respond within 24 hours and credit responsible disclosure researchers in our security acknowledgments.
We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we'll:
Material changes will not be applied retroactively without your explicit consent. We'll never reduce your rights or expand our data collection without notifying you first and giving you the option to opt out.
Whether you want to access, correct, or delete your data — or just understand our policies better — get in touch. We respond to all privacy inquiries within 30 days, often within 24 hours.
