Overview

[SITE NAME] ("we," "us," or "our") operates Top-Hookup-Sites, an independent editorial site that reviews and compares casual-dating platforms. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our site, you agree to the practices described below.

We are a review and comparison publisher. We do not operate any of the dating platforms we write about, and we do not run the sign-up, billing or messaging systems on those platforms. When you click through to a provider, that provider's own privacy policy governs the information you share with them.

Information We Collect

We keep the information we collect to a minimum. In general, we gather:

• Usage and analytics data — pages you view, links and buttons you click, the page that referred you, and how long you spend on each page.
• Device and browser information — your approximate location (typically at the city or region level, derived from your IP address), browser type and version, operating system, screen size, and language settings.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small files and identifiers stored by your browser that help our pages function and let us measure traffic. See "Cookies & Tracking" below.

We do not ask you for sensitive personal data. We do not require an account, and we do not request your dating preferences, relationship status, photos, government identifiers, financial details or health information in order to read our reviews. Any of that information is provided directly to a dating provider on its own website, under its own privacy policy — not to us.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Operate, maintain and improve our website and its content.
• Understand which reviews, comparisons and guides are most useful so we can prioritize what we update.
• Measure the performance of our pages and outbound links, including how many visitors click through to a provider.
• Detect, prevent and address technical issues, abuse, fraud or security incidents.
• Comply with our legal obligations.

Cookies & Tracking

We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies for two main purposes:

• Analytics — to understand aggregate traffic patterns, such as which pages are visited and how our site performs. This helps us improve our editorial coverage.
• Affiliate click-tracking — when you click a "Visit Site" link to a provider, a tracking parameter or cookie may be used to attribute any resulting sign-up to Top-Hookup-Sites. This is how we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you, and it does not change the price you pay the provider.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, and you can usually opt out of certain analytics or advertising cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of our site work.

Third-Party Services

We rely on trusted third parties to run our site and measure its performance. These may include:

• Analytics providers that help us understand traffic and page performance.
• Advertising and affiliate networks that manage the tracking links between our reviews and the providers we feature, and that attribute referrals so we can be credited for sign-ups.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers that deliver our website.

These third parties process data under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any dating provider before you register or subscribe with them, as their data practices are independent of ours.

Data Retention

We retain usage and analytics data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Aggregated and anonymized statistics — which cannot reasonably be used to identify you — may be kept for longer to help us track trends over time. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over the personal information associated with you, including the right to:

• Access the information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Delete your information, subject to certain legal exceptions.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information is collected and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information for money. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below, and we will respond in line with applicable law.

Children

Top-Hookup-Sites is intended solely for adults aged 18 and over. Our content covers adult casual-dating services and is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes may be highlighted on the site. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
