Data Driven Reviews

Privacy Policy

Effective July 2026

This policy is written in plain language and scoped specifically to outline what data we collect, how we use the data, and our retention policies.

What we collect

When you submit a product review, we collect your email address, your review answers (ratings, role, company size, plan used, tenure, and any written comments), and basic technical data (like IP address and timestamp) submitted with the form.

How we use it

Your email and technical data are used only to verify a review reflects a genuine, individual experience and for internal verification and integrity purposes — never for marketing, and never sold or shared with any vendor or third party. Your review answers inform our published DDR Score™ and review content.

What's published, and what isn't

We don't publish individual review submissions, and no response is ever attributed to a specific reviewer. Published content is aggregated across all reviews for a product — for example, an overall rating, or a generalized theme like "users often cite X as a strength" — synthesized from the full set of responses, not a single person's answers shown on their own. We never publish your email address.

Data retention and deletion

  • Your email address, IP address, and submission timestamp are automatically deleted after 90 days.
  • Written comments are not retained past 90 days in their original form.
  • Some de-identified, aggregated information may be retained longer to help us understand how sentiment for a product changes over time.
  • If you want your information deleted before the 90-day mark, please submit that request to the email below, and we will delete it within 30 days (be sure to include the email used in the original form submission).

Site analytics

We use cookies to understand how visitors use this site — general traffic and engagement patterns — to help us improve it. You can accept or decline these cookies when you first visit; declining means no analytics data is collected for your visit.

This policy covers only what Data Driven Reviews itself collects. Some links on this site — including affiliate links and advertising placements — may include tracking parameters or result in tracking by that vendor's own network, governed by their privacy practices, not this one.
