Privacy Policy

At FreshUpReviews (“the Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), your privacy is not just a legal obligation—it’s a core part of our promise to be transparent and trustworthy. I’m Camilla Peterson, health researcher and founder of FreshUpReviews. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit https://freshupreviews.com, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have regarding your personal data.

By using this Website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two main ways: directly from you when you voluntarily provide it, and automatically through technology like cookies.

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

  • Contact Form & Email: When you reach out via our Contact page or email (hello@freshupreviews.com), we collect your name, email address, and any other details you choose to share in your message.
  • Newsletter Sign-Up (if applicable): If you opt into our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Comments or User-Generated Content (if enabled in the future): Any information you post publicly may be visible to others.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you browse the Website, certain information is collected automatically:

  • Log Data: IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and clickstream data.
  • Device Information: Device type, operating system, and screen resolution.
  • Cookies & Similar Technologies: Small data files that help us improve functionality, analyze traffic, and support affiliate tracking. For complete details, please see our Cookies Policy.

We never automatically collect sensitive personal health information. You are not required to provide personal data to read our reviews.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect helps us run, maintain, and improve FreshUpReviews while keeping our content free. We use your data for:

  • Communication: To respond to your inquiries, feedback, or review requests.
  • Newsletter Delivery: To send you emails you’ve signed up for, containing new review alerts, wellness tips, or site updates.
  • Site Analytics: To understand how readers discover and engage with our content (e.g., through Google Analytics), so we can improve your experience.
  • Affiliate Tracking: To attribute a sale to our affiliate links if you purchase after clicking (this does not increase your price).
  • Legal Compliance & Protection: To comply with applicable laws, enforce our legal agreements, and protect the rights and safety of FreshUpReviews and our readers.

3. Legal Bases for Processing (For EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data based on:

  • Your Consent: For cookies (non-essential) and newsletter emails.
  • Legitimate Interests: For analytics, improving our content, and responding to your direct messages.
  • Legal Obligation: If required by law.

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.

4. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to anyone. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the Website, but only as necessary. These may include:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics (privacy policy here).
  • Affiliate Networks: Amazon Associates, ShareASale, Impact, and others may place cookies to track valid referrals.
  • Email Marketing Provider: If you subscribe, your email may be stored with a service like ConvertKit or Mailchimp.
  • Hosting & Security: Our website hosting provider processes data on our behalf.

All third parties are required to protect your data and use it only for the specific purpose we’ve authorized. We will disclose your data if required by law or to protect our rights.

Please note that these external sites have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies for site functionality, analytics, and affiliate tracking. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings or our cookie consent banner (on your first visit). Blocking cookies may affect some site features but will not prevent you from reading our content. For a detailed breakdown, visit our Cookies Policy.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described here. Contact form emails may be archived indefinitely for record-keeping, but you can request deletion. Analytics data is retained in aggregate and anonymized where possible. Newsletter subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe.

7. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: Request that we erase your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Restriction & Objection: Ask us to restrict processing or object to our use of your data.
  • Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service.
  • Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal data for monetary consideration, but if our cookie-based affiliate tracking is considered a “sale” under applicable law (e.g., CCPA), you may opt out by disabling non-essential cookies via our cookie banner or your browser settings.
  • Non-Discrimination: You will not be penalized for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@freshupreviews.com (or hello@freshupreviews.com). We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.
