What we collect, what we don't, and your rights.

Last updated: May 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Hearing Calm Guide handles information about visitors to this website.

1. Who we are

Hearing Calm Guide ("we", "us", "our") is an independent editorial review site at hearingcalmguide.com. We do not sell products directly — we publish reviews and may earn affiliate commissions when readers purchase through partner links.

2. What information we collect

Automatically collected:

• Standard server logs: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time on page.
• Anonymized analytics data via Google Analytics 4 (page views, scroll depth, time-on-page, click events).
• Conversion tracking via Google Ads (whether you arrived from a paid ad and clicked an outbound affiliate link).

Voluntarily provided:

• If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and the content of your message.

We do not collect names, phone numbers, payment information, or any data you have not explicitly given us. If you make a purchase through one of our affiliate links, the merchant collects that information directly — we never see your payment details.

3. Cookies & tracking

We use first-party and third-party cookies for analytics and conversion tracking:

• Google Analytics 4 — anonymized traffic analytics (cookie expires in 24 months).
• Google Ads — measure conversions from paid traffic (cookie expires in 90 days).

You can disable cookies in your browser settings or use private/incognito browsing. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to read our content.

4. How we use the data

• Improve site content and user experience based on aggregated traffic patterns.
• Measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
• Reply to inquiries you send us by email.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with marketing companies.

5. Your rights

If you live in the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA), you have the right to:

• Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Request deletion of your personal data.
• Opt out of analytics and advertising cookies.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@hearingcalmguide.com. We will respond within 30 days.

6. Third-party links

Our reviews include affiliate links to third-party sites (such as the official NeuroQuiet checkout). When you click those links, you leave Hearing Calm Guide and are subject to the privacy policy of the destination site. We are not responsible for those external policies.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices evolve or as required by law. Changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date.
