Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Hearing HQ operates HearingHQ as an affiliate-supported review and comparison site. It covers what information may be collected when visitors browse the site, submit a contact form, click affiliate links, or interact with advertising and analytics tools. The policy is meant to describe ordinary website data practices, not to make promises that every interaction is identical. Results vary based on the visitor’s browser settings, device, and choices.
By using the site, visitors acknowledge that some information may be processed by service providers and advertising partners. The site is operated by Hearing HQ, which is the legal entity responsible for privacy inquiries relating to HearingHQ.
Information We Collect
Depending on how a visitor uses the site, HearingHQ may collect information such as:
- Cookies and similar technologies used for site functionality, analytics, and advertising measurement.
- Analytics data, including page views, click paths, approximate location derived from IP address, and time spent on pages.
- Contact form submissions, which may include name, email address, message content, and any other details a visitor chooses to provide.
- Ad-platform click IDs and campaign parameters such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when they are present in a link or browser URL.
- Referrer information showing the page or website that sent the visitor to HearingHQ.
- Device and browser information such as browser type, operating system, screen size, language settings, and general technical identifiers.
Some of this information is collected automatically by website tools, while other information is provided directly by visitors. The amount collected may vary based on consent settings and browser controls.
How We Use Information
HearingHQ uses information for site analytics, conversion tracking, and responding to contact requests. Analytics may help the site understand which pages are visited, which content leads to affiliate clicks, and how visitors move through the site. Conversion tracking may be used to measure whether a visitor later reaches a partner offer after clicking a link.
Information submitted through the contact form may be used to answer questions, resolve site issues, or follow up on privacy requests. The site may also use data to maintain security, diagnose technical problems, and improve content layout. Some customer reviews describe useful comparisons and navigation improvements, but results vary based on the person, device, and browsing behavior.
Third Parties
HearingHQ may share or allow access to information through third-party service providers and partners, subject to their own privacy terms and technical controls.
- Google Ads, which may process ad delivery data, measurement data, and click identifiers.
- Microsoft Ads, which may process campaign and conversion data, including click IDs.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may receive referral and conversion-related data when a visitor clicks an affiliate link or completes a partner action.
- The hosting provider, which may store website files, server logs, and technical records needed to operate the site.
- The email provider, which may process messages sent to the contact address and maintain message delivery logs.
These third parties may collect or process information under their own policies and systems. HearingHQ does not control every downstream use of data by those providers, and individual experiences may differ depending on the third party and the visitor’s settings.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising attribution. Some technologies are necessary for core site functions, while others help track whether a visitor engages with a partner offer after clicking from HearingHQ.
Visitors may be able to control cookies through browser settings, device settings, or consent tools displayed on the site. Blocking or deleting cookies can affect how some pages work and may limit analytics or affiliate tracking. Because technology settings differ, outcomes may vary from browser to browser.
Your Rights
Depending on location, visitors may have rights to access personal information, request deletion, correct inaccurate information, or opt out of targeted advertising. Where GDPR applies, visitors may also have rights related to processing, restriction, objection, and portability. Where CCPA or similar laws apply, visitors may have rights to know, delete, and opt out of certain disclosures or sales/shares of personal information.
Some requests may be subject to verification steps or legal exceptions. If a browser or device sends an opt-out preference signal, HearingHQ may honor it where required and where the relevant systems support it. Because legal requirements vary by jurisdiction, individual experiences may differ.
Data Retention
HearingHQ retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the site, respond to inquiries, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain records for analytics or security purposes. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of data, the provider involved, and applicable law.
For example, contact form messages may be kept long enough to handle the request and maintain business records, while analytics or server logs may be stored for shorter or longer periods based on technical and compliance needs. Some data may be removed sooner if it is no longer needed.
