Your Privacy. Our Responsibility.

We’ll keep this simple and straight — the way we do everything at Trusted Brands.

When you visit this site, some information gets collected. Not because we’re trying to track your every move, but because that’s how websites work. This page tells you exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. No legal maze. No confusing language. Just a straight explanation of how your data is handled when you’re on trustedbrands.co.

What We Collect

What You Give Us Directly

If you reach out through our contact form or sign up for our newsletter, we collect:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Whatever message you send us

That’s it. We don’t ask for more than we need. You’re not required to create an account or hand over personal details just to read our content.

What Gets Collected Automatically

Every time someone visits a website, certain technical information gets logged automatically. On Trusted Brands, this includes:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Which pages you visit and in what order
  • How long you spend on each page
  • The site or link that brought you here

This data comes in through cookies and standard tracking tools. It helps us understand what content is working, what needs improvement, and how readers are navigating the site. It does not identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

Here is exactly what we do with the information we collect:

  • Respond to messages and inquiries you send us
  • Send content updates or newsletters if you opted in
  • Analyze traffic patterns to improve our content and user experience
  • Keep the website secure and running properly
  • Meet any legal obligations that apply to us

We do not sell your data. We do not hand it to third parties so they can market to you. Your information stays with us and is used only for the purposes listed above.

Cookies

Trusted Brands uses cookies. Here is what they are actually doing on this site:

Analytics Cookies We use Google Analytics to track how people interact with our content. This data is aggregated — meaning it tells us things like “200 people read this article” not “this specific person read this article.”

Affiliate Tracking Cookies Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the affiliate network places a cookie on your device to track whether a purchase is completed. This is how commissions get attributed. It does not give us access to your payment information or personal details from the retailer.

Functional Cookies These help the site remember basic preferences and deliver a consistent experience as you move between pages.

You can turn cookies off through your browser settings whenever you want. Just know that some parts of the site may not work as smoothly without them.

Third-Party Websites & Affiliate Links

Trusted Brands links to external websites — brand pages, retailers, and other platforms. Once you leave our site, we have no control over what happens. Those websites have their own privacy policies and their own data practices.

We link to third parties because we think they’re worth your time — not because we’ve vetted every line of their privacy policy. Before handing over personal information to any external site, we recommend checking their privacy policy directly.For a full explanation of how affiliate links work on this site, read our Affiliate Disclosure.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand our audience and improve our content. Google Analytics collects anonymized, aggregated data about site visits — pages viewed, session duration, general geographic region, and similar metrics.

Google’s full privacy policy is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, use Google’s official opt-out tool: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Advertising

If display ads appear on this site, they may be served through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to show ads based on your browsing history across sites. If you’d rather not see personalized ads, you can adjust that here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads

Children’s Privacy

Trusted Brands is not designed for or directed at anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through this site, contact us and we will delete it immediately.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Contact form submissions and newsletter sign-ups are kept only as long as needed — either to respond to your inquiry or to continue sending you content you asked for. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.

Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the platforms we use. We do not store raw analytics data ourselves.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights over your personal data. These can include:

  • Accessing the information we hold about you
  • Asking us to correct inaccurate information
  • Requesting that we delete your data
  • Withdrawing consent where we rely on it to process your information

To make any of these requests, reach out to us through our Contact page.

California Residents — CCPA

If you live in California, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, how it is used, and who it is shared with. You also have the right to request deletion of your data and to opt out of any sale of your personal information.

We do not sell personal information. For any CCPA requests, contact us directly.

European Visitors — GDPR

If you are visiting from the European Economic Area, the General Data Protection Regulation gives you rights over your personal data — including the right to access, correct, and delete it. Our legal basis for processing data is legitimate interest in operating this website and improving our content, along with consent where it applies.

For GDPR-related requests, get in touch through our Contact page.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the data collected through this site. That said, no system connected to the internet is completely immune to risk. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we handle your information carefully and responsibly.

Updates to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. When it is, the date at the top of this page will change. We recommend checking back occasionally — especially if you’ve shared information with us or subscribed to our newsletter.

Continuing to use Trusted Brands after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Questions?

If anything in this policy is unclear or you have a question about how your data is handled, we want to hear from you. Reach out through our Contact Us page.
