At Altop Rated Reviews, we value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit [altopratedreviews.com]. By using our site, you agree to the terms outlined here.
2. Information We Collect
You must disclose exactly what data you touch.
- Voluntary Data: Information you provide (e.g., your name and email when using our contact form).
- Automated Data: Technical data collected by our server (Caddy) and WordPress, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit.
- Cookies: Small files stored on your browser to track your preferences and affiliate clicks.
3. Affiliate & Third-Party Tracking (Crucial for JVZoo/ClickBank)
This is the most important section for your business model.
Affiliate Links & Cookies: We participate in affiliate programs including JVZoo, WarriorPlus, and ClickBank. When you click on an affiliate link on our site, a “cookie” is placed on your browser for 30–90 days. This cookie tracks your purchase so we can receive a commission. This happens at no extra cost to you.
Third-Party Services: We may use third-party tools like Google Analytics or Cloudflare to improve site performance. These services have their own privacy policies which we do not control.
4. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain our website.
- To notify you about changes or new reviews.
- To fulfill “Bonus Claims” you submit via our contact form.
- To prevent spam and maintain site security.
5. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA Compliance)
In 2025, users have the “Right to be Forgotten.”
- Access & Deletion: You have the right to request a copy of the data we have on you or ask us to delete it.
- Opt-Out: You can disable cookies in your browser settings or use “Do Not Track” signals.
- California Rights: If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information (though we do not sell your data to third parties).
6. Data Security
We use industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption (via Caddy/Cloudflare) and a secure SQLite database, to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
7. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
Altop Rated Reviews does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13. If we discover such data has been collected, it will be deleted immediately.

10.Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
11.Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
12.Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
13.Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
14.Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
15.How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
16.What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
17.Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
