Privacy policy

Last updated

This policy explains what information BrewRanked (https://www.brewranked.com) collects, why, and what you can do about it. It applies to this website only.

Who we are. BrewRanked is operated by [YOUR REGISTERED BUSINESS NAME], [STREET ADDRESS, CITY, STATE ZIP, COUNTRY]. For anything in this policy, contact [email protected].

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it to reply and keep it only as long as needed for that.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we and our service providers collect technical information when you visit: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, time on page, and the approximate geographic region derived from your IP address. This is used to understand how the site is used and to keep it working.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (including local storage and device identifiers). Full detail is in our cookie policy. In summary:

  • Strictly necessary — remembering your cookie choice. Always on; the site cannot work without it.
  • Analytics — Google Analytics, to understand which pages are useful. Only set if you consent.
  • Advertising — Google Ads, to measure whether our advertising works and, if you allow it, to show you relevant ads. Only set if you consent.

2. How we use information

  • To operate, secure and improve the site.
  • To understand which content is useful, in aggregate.
  • To measure the performance of our online advertising, and — where you have consented — to show advertising that is relevant to you.
  • To respond to messages you send us.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Note that under California law, sharing data with advertising partners for cross-context behavioural advertising counts as "sharing" even without payment — section 7 explains how to opt out.

3. Advertising and analytics

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information about your use of the site and processes it on our behalf. Information on how Google collects and processes data is available at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We do not send Google any information that identifies you personally.

Google Analytics Advertising Features

Where enabled, we use Google Analytics Advertising Features, which may include Remarketing, Demographics and Interests reporting, and Google Signals. These features rely on Google advertising cookies and identifiers in addition to the first-party Google Analytics cookie, and combine them to provide the reporting described above. You can opt out using the links in section 4.

Google Ads and third-party vendors

We advertise this site online. In connection with that:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, show our ads on sites across the internet.
  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and/or device identifiers to serve ads based on someone's past visits to this website.
  • We and third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies) together to measure and optimise our advertising.

Consent Mode

We use Google Consent Mode v2. Until you make a choice, analytics and advertising storage are set to denied and advertising identifiers are redacted. Your choice updates that state immediately and is stored in your browser so we can honour it on later visits.

4. Your choices and how to opt out

  • On this site — open cookie settings to change or withdraw consent at any time.
  • Google ad personalisation — adssettings.google.com.
  • Google Analytics — install the browser opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
  • Industry-wide opt-outs — NAI and DAA.
  • Global Privacy Control — if your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of sharing your data for advertising and disable analytics and advertising storage.
  • Your browser — you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.

5. Sharing

We share information with service providers who help us run the site — our hosting provider, and Google for analytics and advertising as described above. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a sale of the business. We do not otherwise share your information.

6. Retention

Analytics data is retained according to the retention setting in our Google Analytics property [state your setting, e.g. 14 months]. Email correspondence is kept as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to meet any legal requirement.

7. US state privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know what personal information we have collected, to have it deleted, to correct it, and to opt out of its sale or of sharing it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

To exercise any of them, use our Your Privacy Choices page or email [email protected]. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a right. We honour Global Privacy Control signals as valid opt-out requests.

8. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

Our lawful basis for strictly necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in operating the site. For analytics and advertising cookies it is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time using the cookie settings link. You may also have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and a right to complain to your local supervisory authority. Data processed by Google may be transferred to the United States under Google's own transfer mechanisms.

9. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, email [email protected] and we will delete it.

10. Security

The site is served over HTTPS and we take reasonable measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Links to other sites

This site links to retailers and manufacturers. Once you follow a link you are on their site, subject to their privacy policy, not ours. We have no control over what they collect.

12. Changes

We will post any changes on this page and update the date above. Material changes will be flagged on the site.
