Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how PillowReviews, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Hearing Aid HQ, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors access the site, submit a form, or interact with links and advertising on the site. The policy covers information collected through the website and related contact channels. As with most online publishing sites, some data collection may occur automatically, and results vary based on the visitor’s device, browser settings, and interactions with the page.
By using the site, visitors acknowledge that some information may be processed for analytics, advertising measurement, and response to inquiries. This page is meant to describe general practices and may be updated from time to time.
Information We Collect
PillowReviews may collect information in several ways. Some data is provided directly by visitors, while other data is collected automatically through standard web technologies and advertising tools.
- Contact form submissions, such as a name, email address, message content, and any other details a visitor chooses to provide.
- Cookies and similar technologies used for site functionality, analytics, and advertising measurement.
- Analytics data, including pages viewed, time on page, referral source, and general navigation patterns.
- Click identifiers and ad-platform tags such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when a visitor arrives from advertising or tracked links.
- Referrer information showing the page or source that sent a visitor to the site.
- Device and browser information, including approximate location, operating system, browser type, and screen characteristics.
Some of this information may be collected automatically by service providers or advertising platforms, and individual experiences may differ depending on privacy settings and consent choices.
How We Use Information
Information collected on the site may be used to operate and improve the website, measure performance, and respond to messages sent through contact forms. The site may also use data for conversion tracking and to understand which content or links lead to interactions with advertisers or affiliate partners.
In practice, this may include:
- Site analytics and content performance measurement.
- Conversion tracking for links, forms, and promotional placements.
- Responding to questions, comments, or privacy requests.
- Maintaining basic security, fraud prevention, and troubleshooting.
Any marketing or advertising-related analysis may depend on cookies, platform settings, and visitor consent where required. Results vary based on user preferences and applicable law.
Third Parties
PillowReviews works with third parties that help operate the site, deliver advertising, process communications, or track referrals. These services may collect or receive information according to their own privacy policies.
- Google Ads
- Microsoft Ads
- Affiliate networks, including MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods
- Hosting provider
- Email provider
These third parties may use cookies, pixel tags, or similar tools to measure ad performance, attribute clicks, and support site delivery. The site cannot guarantee how each third party handles data once it is shared with them, so visitors should review those providers’ policies for more detail.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
The site uses cookies and related technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising attribution. Some cookies are essential for basic site operation, while others are used for analytics or to understand how visitors interact with affiliate links and ads.
Visitors may be able to manage cookies through browser controls or consent tools, where available. Blocking certain cookies can affect site features or reduce measurement accuracy. In some cases, ad-platform click IDs and similar tags may be stored temporarily to support conversion reporting and referral attribution.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, applicable privacy laws may provide rights to access, delete, correct, or limit certain uses of personal information. Where GDPR, CCPA, or similar laws apply, visitors may also have the right to object to targeted advertising or request information about disclosure practices.
These rights are not absolute and may depend on legal exceptions, verification steps, and the nature of the request. Some data may be retained or processed as required for security, recordkeeping, fraud prevention, or legal compliance. Visitors who want to exercise privacy rights should use the contact details below.
Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, the reason it was collected, and the systems used to store it.
For example, analytics data may be stored for a limited operational period, contact form submissions may be kept until the inquiry is resolved, and records related to legal, tax, or compliance obligations may be retained longer. Actual retention can vary based on vendor settings and internal administrative needs.

Privacy requests may be sent to stephen.oreilly@bell.net. Requests should include enough detail to identify the issue and, where relevant, the country or state of residence so the request can be evaluated under applicable law.
