Privacy policy

Who we are

BusinessReviews.com ("we", "us") operates this website. Questions about privacy can be sent through our contact form.

Information we collect

• Information you submit in forms: name, email, phone, company details, reviews, contest entries, applications, pledges and messages.
• Technical data collected automatically by our hosting provider and advertising partners, such as IP address, browser type, device and pages visited.
• Preferences stored in your browser (theme, cookie choice) using local storage.

How we use it

• To publish and moderate reviews and respond to your requests.
• To send you a shortlist and, only where you opt in, share your request with up to three matched providers.
• To run contests, process applications and send pledge payment links.
• To send the newsletter if you subscribe (unsubscribe at any time).
• To keep the site secure and understand how it is used.

Form processing

Form submissions are delivered to us by email through FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), which acts as a processor. We do not sell personal information.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info, or in the EU at youronlinechoices.eu. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Where required (including the EEA, UK and Switzerland), we ask for your consent through a Google-certified consent management platform before personalised ads are shown.

Embedded content

Videos are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode and load only when you press play. Fonts are served by Google Fonts. These services may receive your IP address.

Retention

We keep submissions only as long as needed for the purpose collected — for example, published reviews while the profile exists, and leads for up to 24 months — unless the law requires longer.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR, UK GDPR, Canada's PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25, and U.S. state laws such as the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or port your data, to withdraw consent and to object to certain processing. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising except through the advertising cookies described above, which you can control. To exercise your rights, contact us.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect their data.
