Privacy Policy
Effective September 19, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Rated Picks (“Rated Picks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit ratedpicks.com, contact us, or follow links from our editorial content.
Information we may collect
Information you provide
We may receive your email address, name, message, and any information you choose to include when you contact us or request email updates. Please do not send sensitive information through ordinary email.
Information collected automatically
Our hosting and security providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, approximate location, timestamps, and security signals. This information can be used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, troubleshoot errors, and understand basic site performance.
How we use information
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
- Respond to questions, correction requests, and business inquiries.
- Send messages a person requested and manage subscription preferences.
- Measure site use and affiliate-link performance where enabled.
- Comply with law and protect our rights, users, and services.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies and similar storage can support core security, remember choices, measure visits, or attribute an eligible purchase to an affiliate link. The technologies actually used may change as site services are added or removed. See our Cookie Notice for more detail and available controls.
Affiliate links and third-party sites
Some outbound links may include an identifier that lets a merchant or affiliate network recognize that a visit came from Rated Picks. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control their sites, checkout systems, cookies, or data practices.
How information may be shared
We may share information with providers that support hosting, security, email, analytics, or other site operations; with affiliate networks and merchants when you use an eligible link; during a business reorganization or transfer; or when reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce terms, or protect safety and rights. We do not describe personal information as being sold for money. Some U.S. laws may define certain advertising or analytics disclosures as a “sale” or “sharing,” depending on the tools in use.
Retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security. No internet transmission or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and U.S. privacy rights
You may unsubscribe through a link in an email or by contacting us. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though parts of the site may work differently. Depending on your state and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of certain personal information, and to opt out of certain sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising activity. We may need to verify a request and may retain information where permitted by law.
Children’s privacy
Rated Picks is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information.
International visitors
Rated Picks is directed primarily to the United States. If you access the site elsewhere, information may be processed in the United States or other locations where providers operate, subject to applicable law.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. The effective date above shows when this version took effect.
