PhotographerReviewsUSA.com respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it — and, most importantly, what we never do with your data.
What We Collect
We do not collect personal data unless you intentionally provide it.
By default, we do not store:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your IP address (we anonymize it)
- Device fingerprints
- Location data
We may collect non-identifiable data (e.g., browser type, approximate time of visit) solely for security and performance purposes.
Anonymous Posting
You may post reviews on PhotographerReviewsUSA.com without creating an account.
Posts are not linked to any identity unless you voluntarily sign your name (not recommended).
We:
- Do not log original IP addresses long-term
- Strip user-agents and referrers from public logs
- Reject third-party tracking cookies
- Block most analytics scripts by default
Your feedback should speak louder than your identity.
Employer & Studio Data
Profiles and reviews are collected from:
- Public data sources
- User submissions
- Media investigations
PhotographerReviewsUSA.com does not guarantee the accuracy of reviews but moderates for spam, hate, or false information. Studios may request fact-checking or respond via formal channels — not through censorship requests.
What We NEVER Do
- Sell or rent user data
- Partner with recruiters or government agencies
- Use fingerprinting or shadow profiling
- Show third-party ads (no AdSense, no social trackers)
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., California, EU), you may have the right to:
- Request deletion of any data associated with you
- Access or correct your data (if you’ve submitted personal info)
- Opt out of any data collection (we already keep it minimal)
Requests: privacy [at] photographerreviewsusa.com
Data Storage & Retention
- Minimal logs are stored securely in the USA
- Anonymous posts are retained indefinitely unless flagged
- Any IP or user-agent logs are purged within 7 days
Third-Party Services
We use no embedded third-party trackers.
We self-host fonts, scripts, and assets.
We may use privacy-friendly CDN or email providers with strict policies.
Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy anytime. Significant changes will be posted clearly.
Final Word
We built PhotographerReviewsUSA.com to protect transparency in the photography industry, not to exploit users.
Our business model does not depend on selling ads, recruiters, or mining your data.
We will resist censorship and protect user anonymity within the bounds of U.S. law.
