Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how HearingAidPicks, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors browse the site or contact the operator. The site is operated by Masi d.o.o. and this policy applies to information collected through the website, related forms, and analytics tools. It is meant to describe typical data practices in plain language, though actual handling can vary based on browser settings, device controls, and the services used by third parties.
By using the site, visitors acknowledge that some information may be collected automatically and may be shared with service providers and advertising partners as described below. This policy does not cover the privacy practices of third-party websites that may be linked from the site.
Information We Collect
The site may collect information in a few different ways. Some data is provided directly by visitors, while other data is gathered automatically when pages load or links are clicked.
- Contact form submissions, including name, email address, message content, and any other details a visitor chooses to provide.
- Cookies and similar technologies that help remember preferences and measure site performance.
- Analytics data such as page views, session duration, referring pages, and general site interaction patterns.
- Ad-platform click identifiers such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when a visitor arrives from an advertising campaign.
- Referrer information showing the page or source that directed a visitor to the site.
- Device and browser information, including IP address, browser type, operating system, screen size, and approximate location derived from the device context.
Some of this information may be collected automatically by the site, while some may be received from analytics, hosting, advertising, or email service providers. Individual experiences may differ depending on browser privacy settings and consent choices.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the site, understand how visitors interact with content, and respond to messages submitted through contact forms. Analytics can help the editorial team review traffic patterns, identify broken links, and improve page structure.
Ad-platform click IDs and referral data may be used for conversion tracking, attribution, and campaign measurement. Contact details may be used to reply to privacy requests, editorial questions, or technical inquiries. Some uses may occur automatically through third-party tools, and results vary based on user settings and platform behavior.
Third Parties
The site may share limited data with third parties that support advertising, analytics, hosting, email delivery, or affiliate operations. These third parties may process information under their own privacy policies and terms.
- Google Ads, which may provide advertising measurement and remarketing tools.
- Microsoft Ads, which may provide ad attribution and campaign reporting.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may track referrals and commission activity.
- The hosting provider, which may process server logs, security events, and technical traffic data.
- The email provider, which may route and store messages sent through site contact channels.
These third parties may collect or receive data such as click IDs, referrer information, cookies, and device details. Their own policies govern how they use that information, and practices can change over time.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The site uses cookies and related technologies to support core functions, measure traffic, and, where applicable, help with advertising attribution. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function properly, while others help understand how content is used.
Visitors may control cookies through browser settings or device-level privacy tools. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect site functionality and can reduce the accuracy of analytics or conversion measurement.
Where required by law or platform settings, consent choices may be presented before non-essential cookies are set. The exact behavior may vary by jurisdiction and browser configuration.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws may provide rights such as access to personal data, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or the ability to object to certain processing.
Visitors may also opt out of targeted advertising through browser settings, ad platform controls, or device-level privacy features. Under the GDPR, additional rights may apply to individuals in the European Economic Area. Under the CCPA, California residents may have rights to know, delete, and opt out of certain sharing or sale-related activities, where applicable.
Requests can be submitted using the contact details below. The site may need to verify a request before taking action, and some records may be retained where lawfully permitted or required. Results vary based on the request type and legal obligations.
Data Retention
The site retains personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and support legitimate business operations.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information. For example, contact form messages may be kept for a shorter period than analytics or transaction-related logs. When data is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated, subject to operational and legal requirements.
