Amazon Associates disclosure
Ranklim is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
1. Who we are
Ranklim ("we", "us", "our") publishes independent product rankings and reviews for shoppers in the United States. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit www.ranklim.com, how we use it and the choices you have.
2. How we make money
Most links to products on Ranklim are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase on Amazon.com, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Amazon, Amazon.com and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Commissions never influence our rankings. No brand, seller or manufacturer can pay to be included in a guide or to change its position. Prices and availability shown on Ranklim are accurate as of the date indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon.com at the time of purchase will apply to the purchase of the product.
3. Information we collect
Information you give us. When you post a comment, we collect the name you provide, your email address if you choose to share it, and the content of your comment. Your email address is never published.
Information collected automatically. When you post a comment, we store your IP address and browser user agent to prevent spam and abuse. Like most websites, our servers also keep standard technical logs, such as pages requested, date and time, and browser type.
We do not ask for payment details, and we never sell your personal information.
4. Cookies
Ranklim uses a small number of essential cookies to keep the site secure and working, for example a session cookie and a security token that protects our comment form. These cookies do not track you across other websites.
When you click an affiliate link and visit Amazon.com, Amazon may place its own cookies on your device so it can credit the referral to us. Those cookies are governed by Amazon's privacy notice. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
5. How we use information
- To publish and moderate comments.
- To protect the site against spam, fraud and abuse.
- To keep the site running, fix problems and improve our content.
- To comply with legal obligations.
6. Service providers
We use trusted providers to host the site and deliver files such as fonts and images quickly. They only process information on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations.
7. Data retention
Published comments stay online until they are removed. Comments that are not approved, along with the IP address and user agent stored for moderation, are deleted periodically. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, including California and other US states with privacy laws, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to ask us to correct or delete it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
9. Children's privacy
Ranklim is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
