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 use the site or contact the business. It covers information gathered through pages, forms, cookies, analytics tools, advertising integrations, and related services. The policy is intended to describe common data practices in a straightforward way, though results vary based on how a visitor uses the site and which settings are enabled.
By using the site, visitors may interact with content that includes affiliate links, comparison features, and advertising technologies. The site is not a law firm and does not claim to provide legal advice. Privacy rules may differ by jurisdiction, and individual experiences may differ depending on location and browser settings.
Information We Collect
The site may collect information directly from visitors and automatically through technology tools. This can include:
- Information submitted through contact forms, such as name, email address, and message content.
- Cookie and similar technology data used for analytics, preferences, and ad measurement.
- Click identifiers from advertising platforms, including gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid, when those parameters are present in a URL.
- Referrer information, which may show the page or source that sent a visitor to the site.
- Device, browser, and approximate technical information such as operating system, screen size, and IP-derived location signals.
Some of this information is collected automatically, while other information is provided voluntarily by visitors. Many customers and site users may not notice all of these tools, and results vary based on cookie choices and platform settings.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the site, improve content, and understand how pages perform. Common uses include site analytics, conversion tracking, ad attribution, and responding to contact requests. These uses may help determine whether a visitor clicked an affiliate link, viewed a comparison page, or submitted a message.
The site may also use information to maintain security, detect abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues. Some data may be combined in aggregated reports that do not directly identify an individual, although individual experiences may differ based on available identifiers and consent settings.
Third Parties
The site may share or route information through third parties that help with advertising, analytics, hosting, communication, and affiliate tracking. Those third parties may process data according to their own policies and legal obligations.
- Google Ads: may receive click and conversion data for advertising measurement and audience reporting.
- Microsoft Ads: may receive ad click identifiers and conversion signals for campaign attribution.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods: may track referrals, clicks, and conversions associated with affiliate links.
- Hosting provider: may process server logs, technical data, and site traffic information necessary to deliver the website.
- Email provider: may handle messages submitted through the contact address and related technical metadata.
These services may change over time. Some customer reviews and public documentation describe different privacy practices across providers, so visitors should review the relevant third-party policies for more detail.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The site may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure performance, and support advertising attribution. Cookies can help identify returning browsers, recognize referral sources, and track whether a click resulted in a conversion event. This may support analytics and affiliate reporting, though results vary based on browser restrictions and consent choices.
Visitors can usually control cookies through browser settings and, where available, consent banners or privacy tools. Blocking cookies may reduce functionality and can affect measurement accuracy. Some technologies may still operate in a limited form even if certain cookies are disabled.
Your Rights
Depending on location, applicable law may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal data. Visitors may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising or request information about data sharing. Where GDPR applies, rights can include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. Where CCPA or similar laws apply, additional rights may be available regarding disclosure, deletion, and opt-out requests.
To the extent required by law, the site will respond to valid requests within a reasonable period. Some requests may be limited by legal retention duties, security requirements, or the need to verify identity. Individual experiences may differ based on the nature of the request and the records involved.
Data Retention
Information is retained 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 form messages may be kept for customer service, recordkeeping, or security purposes. Analytics and advertising records may be retained according to the settings of the relevant platform and the needs of the site.
When data is no longer needed, the site may delete, anonymize, or otherwise reduce it in a way that makes further identification less likely. Because external providers may retain their own copies under separate rules, complete deletion across all systems may not always be immediate or possible.
