Privacy Policy

Who we are

This privacy policy applies to bravoverdict.com (“Bravo Verdict,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and describes how we collect, use and share information when you use our website and services.

For any privacy related question, you can reach us at hello@bravoverdict.com.

What data we collect

We collect two types of information: information you give us directly and information collected automatically when you visit the site.

Information you give us directly

• Your email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter.
• Anything you send us by email or through a contact form, including your name, email address and the message contents.
• Feedback, corrections, product suggestions or other content you voluntarily submit.

Information collected automatically

• Standard web server logs (IP address, user agent, referring page, timestamp).
• Aggregate analytics data about which pages are visited and how long visitors stay.
• Click data on affiliate links, so we can understand which products readers find most useful and attribute sales correctly.
• Cookie identifiers set by our own site or by third parties integrated into the site.

How we use your data

• To operate the site, deliver content and improve the reader experience.
• To send you our newsletter, if you’ve subscribed. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
• To respond to your emails, questions and feedback.
• To measure aggregate site performance and understand which content readers find valuable.
• To detect abuse, fraud and security threats.
• To comply with legal obligations.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences and measure how the site is used.

Essential cookies keep the site working and cannot be turned off in our systems. Analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic patterns. Affiliate tracking cookies are set by our affiliate networks (such as Amazon Associates, Skimlinks, Impact and others) to attribute purchases to Bravo Verdict when you buy through our links.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may prevent some parts of the site from working properly and may prevent us from earning commissions on your purchases.

Third parties we work with

We share limited data with a small number of trusted service providers. Each is bound by contract to protect your information and use it only for the purpose we’ve engaged them for.

• Hosting and infrastructure: content delivery networks, hosting providers and database providers that keep the site running.
• Analytics: privacy respecting analytics services that measure aggregate traffic patterns.
• Affiliate networks: Amazon Associates, Skimlinks, Impact, CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, Rakuten, Awin and similar networks used to attribute purchases and pay us commissions.
• Email service providers: services that deliver our newsletter if you subscribe.
• Fraud and security services: providers that help us detect abuse and protect the site.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing use.

Legal basis for processing (for EEA/UK visitors)

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or UK GDPR applies, we process your data on the following legal bases:

• Consent for our newsletter and any non essential cookies.
• Legitimate interests for site operation, analytics, fraud prevention and communicating with people who contact us.
• Legal obligation for retaining certain records as required by law.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct information that is inaccurate.
• Delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
• Request a copy of your information in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@bravoverdict.com. We’ll respond within 30 days.

California residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights, including the right to know what personal information we’ve collected, the right to delete it, the right to correct it and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information.

We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. However, the CCPA and CPRA define “sale” and “sharing” broadly and may include certain data flows to advertising and analytics partners. To opt out of any such data sharing, email hello@bravoverdict.com.

Children’s privacy

This site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it promptly.

International data transfers

The site is operated from and its data primarily processed in the United States. If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored and processed in a country different from where you reside. Where required, we rely on standard contractual clauses or other appropriate legal mechanisms for international transfers.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Newsletter subscribers are retained until they unsubscribe. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and performance analysis. Aggregate analytics may be retained indefinitely in de identified form.

Security

We use industry standard technical and organizational measures to protect the data we hold. No system is perfectly secure and we can’t guarantee absolute security, but we’ll notify affected users if a breach ever exposes personal information.

Links to other sites

Our site links to third party sites, including merchant sites via affiliate links. This policy does not apply to those sites. Please review the privacy policy of any third party site you visit.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll update the “last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted more prominently and where required by law, we’ll ask for your consent.
