Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how MattressCompared, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Brijesh Mishra, collects, uses, shares, and protects information when visitors access the site, submit a form, click an advertisement, or follow affiliate links. It covers information gathered through the website and related communications, but not the privacy practices of third-party sites that may be linked from it. Because third-party services may operate under their own policies, users should review those policies separately.
Information We Collect
MattressCompared may collect information that visitors provide directly, along with information captured automatically when the site is used. This can include:
- Contact form submissions, such as name, email address, message content, and any details a visitor chooses to share.
- Cookies and similar technologies used for analytics, advertising, and site functionality.
- Referral data, including the page or website that sent a visitor to MattressCompared.
- Device and browser information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and approximate location derived from technical signals.
- Ad-platform click identifiers, including gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid, where present.
Some information is collected automatically through standard web technologies, and some may be collected only if a visitor submits a form or follows a tracked link. Results vary based on browser settings, platform controls, and consent choices.
How We Use Information
Information may be used to operate and improve the site, measure traffic and engagement, understand which pages or links receive clicks, and respond to messages sent through contact forms. MattressCompared may also use information for conversion tracking, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, and to maintain basic records of user requests. Some uses may rely on legitimate interests or consent, depending on applicable law and the visitor’s location. Individual experiences may differ based on device settings and privacy choices.
Third Parties
MattressCompared may share or disclose information with service providers and advertising partners that help run the site or measure performance. These third parties may process data under their own privacy policies:
- Google Ads, for ad delivery and conversion measurement.
- Microsoft Ads, for advertising and click attribution.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may track referrals and commissions when visitors click affiliate links.
- The site’s hosting provider, which may store website files, logs, and technical infrastructure data.
- The site’s email provider, which may route and store messages sent through contact channels.
These parties may collect or receive information such as click identifiers, referrer data, and device details, depending on how a visitor interacts with the site and the settings in use.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, tags, and related technologies may be used to recognize returning visitors, remember preferences, measure page performance, and support advertising attribution. Some cookies are essential to basic site operation, while others are used for analytics or marketing. Visitors may be able to manage cookies through browser settings or consent tools, though disabling certain cookies can affect site functionality. Many customer reviews describe similar limitations on other comparison sites, but results vary based on browser and platform behavior.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, applicable privacy laws may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain uses of personal information. Visitors may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising or certain disclosures that qualify as a “sale” or “sharing” under laws such as the CCPA, where applicable. Under the GDPR and similar laws, additional rights may be available, including data portability and the right to object to processing. Requests are reviewed case by case, and responses may depend on identity verification and legal obligations.
Data Retention
MattressCompared retains personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, meeting legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing site policies. Technical logs and analytics records may be kept for shorter or longer periods depending on operational needs and provider retention settings. Retention periods may change over time, and individual experiences may differ based on the nature of the request or transaction.
