Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how PillowPicks, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Masi d.o.o., collects, uses, and shares information when visitors access the website or submit a contact request. This policy covers data collected through the site’s pages, forms, tracking tools, and advertising links. It is intended to describe common practices clearly, though legal obligations can vary by location and individual experiences may differ.
Information We Collect
PillowPicks may collect information that visitors provide directly, as well as information gathered automatically through site tools. This can include:
- Contact form submissions, such as name, email address, and message content.
- Analytics data, including page views, session activity, and referral sources.
- Click identifiers from ad platforms, such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid.
- Referrer information that shows how a visitor reached the site.
- Device, browser, operating system, and approximate location data derived from browser requests or analytics tools.
- Cookie and similar identifier data used for site measurement and advertising attribution.
Some information is collected automatically when a page loads or when a user follows a tracked link. Results vary based on browser settings, cookie choices, and platform-level privacy controls.
How We Use Information
Information is used for site analytics, conversion tracking, and responding to contact requests. The site may use aggregated or event-level data to understand which pages are viewed, which links are clicked, and whether referral traffic leads to affiliate engagement. Many customer reviews describe improved relevance when sites measure these interactions, but results vary based on traffic sources and user consent settings.
Contact form submissions are used to reply to questions, handle privacy requests, and manage routine communication. Information may also be used to maintain security, prevent abuse, and keep basic records for compliance purposes.
Third Parties
PillowPicks may share or disclose information with service providers and advertising partners that help operate the site. These third parties include:
- Google Ads, for advertising delivery and conversion measurement.
- Microsoft Ads, for ad reporting and click attribution.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may record clicks or sales referrals through tracking links.
- The hosting provider, which stores and serves the website infrastructure.
- The email provider, which delivers messages sent through the contact address.
These third parties may collect or receive limited technical data, such as click identifiers, IP-related information, or referral details, subject to their own privacy policies and browser-level controls. PillowPicks does not control how those providers process data, and individual experiences may differ.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The site uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure performance, and support advertising attribution. Some cookies are necessary for basic functionality, while others may help analyze page usage or track interactions with affiliate links and ad campaigns. Visitors can usually manage cookies through browser settings, and some advertising tools may offer opt-out options.
Disabling certain cookies may limit analytics accuracy or reduce the site’s ability to attribute conversions. That does not usually prevent basic browsing, but some features may work less effectively.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws may provide rights to access, delete, correct, or restrict certain personal information. Visitors may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of data sharing. GDPR rights may apply to individuals in the European Economic Area, and CCPA-style rights may apply to eligible California residents.
Requests are reviewed case by case, and the site may need to confirm identity before acting on a request. Some data may be retained where required for legal, tax, fraud-prevention, or operational reasons.
Data Retention
PillowPicks retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Contact submissions may be kept for a period needed to respond to the request and maintain internal records. Analytics and advertising data may be retained according to the settings of the relevant platforms or service providers.
Retention periods can vary based on the type of data, the purpose for collection, and applicable legal obligations. Once information is no longer needed, the site may delete it, anonymize it, or rely on service-provider controls to do so.
