Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

HealthRankings collects minimal personal data. We may collect:

• Contact information — name and email address when you submit the contact form or subscribe to our newsletter.
• Usage data — anonymized analytics such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and device type. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
• Voluntary submissions — any information you choose to share through forms or email correspondence.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information exclusively to:

• Respond to your inquiries and support requests.
• Send newsletter communications you have opted into (you can unsubscribe at any time).

• Maintain the security and integrity of our platform.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Commerce

Some product review pages contain affiliate links to retailers such as Amazon. When you click these links and make a purchase, HealthRankings may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate partnerships never influence our product rankings, scores, or editorial content.

When you click an affiliate link, the retailer's own privacy policy governs how they collect and use your data. We encourage you to review their policies before making a purchase.

• Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality such as remembering your preferences.
• Analytics — we may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising trackers.

We do not serve targeted advertisements or use tracking pixels.

5. Data Security
