Privacy Policy
What we collect, why we collect it, who sees it, and how to ask us to change or delete it.
Last updated: 8 September 2026
Who is responsible for your data
This policy explains how Product Option Inc. handles personal information collected through product-option.com. The data controller is Product Option Inc., 150 N Michigan Ave, Suite 2800, Chicago, IL 60601, USA. You can reach us at inquiries@product-option.com or +1-312-555-8901.
What we collect
- Information you send us. If you email us or use our contact form, we receive your name, your email address and whatever you choose to write.
- Technical information. Like most websites, our servers log the requests they receive: IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and the date and time of the visit.
- Usage information. Aggregated, non-identifying statistics about which pages are read and which links are followed, used to understand what our readers find useful.
We do not ask for, collect or store payment card details, and we never handle a transaction. Purchases happen entirely on the retailer’s website.
Why we use it
- To answer your questions and correspondence.
- To keep the site running, secure and free from abuse.
- To measure, in aggregate, how our articles perform.
- To meet our legal and accounting obligations.
We rely on your consent when you contact us voluntarily, and on our legitimate interest in running and improving a functioning website for the rest.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information, and we do not rent or trade mailing lists. We share data only with service providers who host, secure or maintain this site on our behalf, under contract, and only as far as they need it — or where we are legally required to disclose it.
When you click an outbound link to a retailer, an affiliate tracking parameter may be passed so the referral can be credited. From that point you are on the retailer’s website and their privacy policy applies, not ours.
Cookies and similar technology
We use a small number of cookies to keep the site working correctly and to gather anonymous usage statistics. Every browser lets you review, block or delete cookies through its settings. Blocking them may affect how parts of this site behave. Some pages generate a short-lived click identifier so a referral can be attributed; it contains no personal information about you.
How long we keep it
Correspondence is kept for as long as we need it to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards for our records. Server logs are retained for a short period for security and diagnostics, then deleted or anonymised.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to withdraw consent you have given. California residents may also request details of any disclosure of personal information and are entitled not to be treated differently for exercising these rights.
To make a request, email inquiries@product-option.com. We may need to verify your identity, and we will respond within the period required by applicable law.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold, including encrypted connections and restricted internal access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy we will post the revised version on this page and update the date at the top. Material changes will be highlighted on the page.
