Introduction
RouterReviews is an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by PhantomOS Reviews LLC. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when visitors use the site, how that information may be used, and the choices available to visitors. It applies to information collected through the website, contact forms, advertising tags, and related communications. Because online tracking technologies and ad platforms can change, some practices described here may vary based on browser settings, consent choices, and the services used.
By using the site, visitors acknowledge that some data collection may occur to support site functionality, analytics, and affiliate attribution. This policy is intended to be clear, but it is not a substitute for legal advice and may be updated from time to time.
Information We Collect
RouterReviews may collect information in several ways, including directly from visitors and automatically through the website. The categories of information may include:
- Information submitted through contact forms, such as name, email address, and message content.
- Cookies and similar technologies used for analytics, session management, and advertising attribution.
- Ad-platform click IDs such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid, where present in a visitor’s URL or browser session.
- Referrer information showing the page or source that brought a visitor to the site.
- Device and browser information, including IP address, browser type, operating system, language settings, and approximate location derived from IP address.
Some information may be collected automatically by analytics and advertising tools when pages load. Results vary based on browser settings, consent choices, and network conditions.
How We Use Information
Information collected on RouterReviews may be used to operate and improve the site, measure traffic, understand audience behavior, and support conversion tracking for affiliate links and advertisements. Many site analytics processes describe usage trends and referral patterns, though results vary based on traffic volume and platform reporting.
Contact form submissions may be used to respond to questions, privacy requests, or editorial feedback. Information may also be used to troubleshoot technical issues, detect abuse, and maintain the security and integrity of the website.
Third Parties
RouterReviews may share or allow access to information with third parties that help run the site or support advertising and affiliate tracking. These third parties may include:
- Google Ads, which may use cookies or identifiers for ad delivery and conversion measurement.
- Microsoft Ads, which may use click identifiers and related tracking tools for advertising attribution.
- Affiliate networks such as ClickBank and MaxWeb, which may track outbound clicks and resulting referrals.
- The hosting provider, which may process server logs and technical traffic data to keep the site available.
- The email provider, which may process messages sent through the contact address below.
Each third party has its own privacy practices, and those practices may differ from this policy. Visitors are encouraged to review the policies of the relevant platforms where available.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies may be used on the site to remember preferences, measure performance, support affiliate attribution, and help advertising platforms understand engagement. Some cookies are necessary for basic site functions, while others help with analytics or targeted advertising.
Visitors can usually manage cookies through browser settings or, where available, consent tools displayed on the site. Disabling certain cookies may limit functionality or affect tracking accuracy. Some customer experiences may differ depending on device type, browser configuration, and privacy settings.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws may grant rights such as access to personal information, correction, deletion, portability, or the right to opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of sharing. These rights may apply under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA where applicable.
Visitors may also be able to manage ad preferences through browser controls or platform-level settings. Requests may be subject to identity verification and legal exceptions, including situations where retention is required for security, compliance, dispute resolution, or legitimate business needs.
Data Retention
RouterReviews retains personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to requests, maintaining records, analyzing site performance, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods may differ by data type and service provider.
For example, analytics logs, contact messages, and advertising records may be kept for different lengths of time depending on operational needs and applicable law. When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated in a manner that no longer identifies a visitor.

For privacy questions, requests to access or delete information, or concerns about tracking and advertising practices, visitors may contact PhantomOS Reviews LLC by email at support@routerreviews-5d4713. Please include enough detail to identify the request and the pages or services involved, if relevant.
