Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Katchfire operates HearingAidHQ as an affiliate-supported review and comparison site and how personal information may be collected, used, and disclosed when visitors interact with the site. It applies to information collected through the website, contact forms, analytics tools, advertising platforms, and similar technologies. By using the site, visitors acknowledge that privacy practices may vary depending on location and that applicable laws may provide different rights.
This policy is intended to be read together with any site disclosures and terms. It may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in tools, vendors, or legal requirements.
Information We Collect
The site may collect information that visitors provide directly, as well as technical information collected automatically. This may include contact form submissions, name and email details shared in a request, and any other information sent to support@hearingaidhqpro.com.
Automatic collection can include cookies, analytics data, referrer information, device and browser details, approximate location inferred from IP address, pages viewed, time on site, and actions taken on the site. The site may also receive ad-platform click identifiers such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when a visitor arrives through advertising links. These identifiers help with attribution and measurement, though results vary based on browser settings, consent choices, and platform behavior.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the site, analyze traffic, measure content performance, and understand how visitors interact with review and comparison pages. It may also be used to track conversions from advertising campaigns, to improve site structure, and to respond to questions or other contact requests.
Some customer reviews describe helpful content discovery and smoother follow-up after submitting a contact request, but results vary based on the nature of the request, the accuracy of the information provided, and the systems involved. The site may also use information in aggregated form for reporting and troubleshooting.
Third Parties
The site may share or disclose information with service providers and advertising partners that help operate the website and measure campaign performance. These parties may process information under their own privacy policies and data practices, which can differ from this policy.
- Google Ads, for ad measurement, conversion tracking, and audience-related features where enabled.
- Microsoft Ads, for advertising attribution and campaign reporting.
- Affiliate networks, including MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may receive click and conversion data to attribute referrals and commissions.
- The hosting provider, which may process server logs, security information, and website delivery data.
- The email provider, which may process messages sent to the site and support-related communications.
These third parties may collect or receive information through tags, pixels, server-to-server events, cookies, or similar technologies. Their use of information may be governed by their own notices and consent mechanisms.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, support analytics, and help advertising tools understand when a visit leads to a conversion. Cookies may be set by the site or by third parties working with the site. Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings and, where available, consent banners or privacy controls.
Disabling certain cookies may affect site functionality, analytics accuracy, or the ability to measure whether a click led to a referral or conversion. Individual experiences may differ depending on browser, device, and consent choices.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws may provide rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or the right to opt out of targeted advertising or certain disclosures. GDPR and CCPA rights may apply where relevant, subject to legal exceptions and verification requirements.
Requests to exercise these rights can usually be made through the contact details below. The site may need to verify identity before acting on a request, and some information may be retained where required for legal, security, or business recordkeeping purposes.
Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including analytics, security, tax, accounting, dispute resolution, and compliance obligations. Retention periods may differ by data type, vendor, and applicable law.
When information is no longer needed, the site may delete it, anonymize it, or allow service providers to delete it according to their own retention practices. Some logs and backup copies may persist for a limited period before being overwritten.
