Privacy Policy

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run an independent research site. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you have over it.

Last updated: July 14, 2026

Information We Collect

ExpertPicked.com is a content publication, not a service that requires an account. We collect only the information needed to operate the site and respond to you:

  • Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter or use our contact form, we collect the email address and any message you choose to send. We use it only to reply to you or to send the updates you asked for.
  • Usage data. Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools record standard technical information — your browser type, device, referring page, and the pages you view — in aggregate, to understand what content is useful.
  • Cookies. We use a small number of cookies for basic site functionality and analytics. We do not sell your data to advertisers.

How We Use Your Information

  • To send the newsletter and updates you have explicitly subscribed to
  • To respond to questions, corrections, and feedback you send us
  • To understand, in aggregate, which guides and reviews readers find useful
  • To maintain the security and reliability of the site

We never sell your personal information, and we do not use your email address for anything other than the communication you opted into.

Affiliate Links & Advertising

ExpertPicked.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click an outbound link to a product or provider, the destination site may set its own cookies to attribute the referral. Those cookies are governed by the destination site's privacy policy, not ours. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial rankings — see our disclosure policy for details.

Your Choices & Rights

  • Unsubscribe anytime. Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and we honor those requests immediately.
  • Access and deletion.You can ask us what data we hold about you and request that we delete it. We'll respond within 30 days.
  • Cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Core site content will still work without them.

Data Retention & Security

We retain subscriber and contact information only for as long as it serves the purpose you provided it for, or until you ask us to delete it. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited data we hold, though no method of transmission over the internet is ever completely secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated to newsletter subscribers.
