Privacy Policy
Quick answer
PaintReviews.com collects the minimum data needed to operate the site: server logs held by our host, and anything you type into our contact form. We do not run third-party advertising or analytics trackers, and we never sell personal data.
What we collect
PaintReviews.com is an editorial site. We do not require accounts and we do not sell personal information. The limited data involved in visiting this site is:
- Server logs — our hosting provider (Hostinger) records standard technical logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) used for security and performance. These logs are held by the provider and retained per their standard retention period.
- Contact form submissions — if you message us, we receive the name and email address you provide plus your message, stored in WordPress so we can reply. We use it only to respond to you.
- Cookies — we do not use advertising or analytics cookies. WordPress may set a minimal cookie for logged-in administrators only. Comments are disabled site-wide, so no comment cookies are set.
How we use it
We use this information to keep the site secure, to respond to messages, and to understand basic site performance. We do not share, sell, or rent personal information to anyone.
Third parties
All fonts, images, styles and scripts on this site are self-hosted. When we publish new pages, we notify search engines via the IndexNow protocol (Bing, Seznam, Naver and others), which transmits only page URLs — never visitor data.
Your rights
You may request a copy or deletion of any message you have sent us by emailing the address on our contact page. Requests are handled within 30 days.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will note the update date here. Last updated August 2026.
PaintReviews buys the products it tests at retail. Manufacturer-supplied samples are labeled and tested under the same protocol. Some links may be affiliate links that support testing; they never change rankings. See our commercial disclosure policy.
