Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how BetterHearingHQ, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors access the website. The site is operated by PhantomOS Reviews LLC. This policy covers information gathered through pages, forms, cookies, analytics tools, and advertising-related technologies. Because online tracking tools change over time, some practices may vary based on browser settings, device configuration, and the services used.
By using the site, visitors consent to the practices described in this policy to the extent permitted by law. Where applicable law provides additional rights, those rights remain available.

How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the website, measure page performance, understand audience engagement, and improve content relevance. Some customer reviews describe clearer navigation and more relevant article recommendations, though results vary based on user behavior and available consent settings.

These providers may receive IP addresses, cookie data, click identifiers, device data, and related interaction information. Their collection and use of data may be governed by their own policies, and visitors may wish to review those terms directly.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, support basic functionality, analyze traffic, and measure advertising performance. Some cookies are essential, while others are optional and may be controlled through browser settings or consent tools where available.
Disabling certain cookies may affect how the site works. For example, some analytics or advertising features may stop functioning as expected. Results vary based on the browser, device, and consent framework in use.

Data Retention
Personal information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including website operations, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, security, and legal compliance. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information, the tool or provider involved, and applicable legal obligations.
Analytics records, contact messages, and advertising logs may be retained for varying periods. When data is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymized, or archived in accordance with standard operational practices.
