Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how the affiliate-supported review and comparison site PortableAirCool, operated by Erik Limited, collects, uses, shares, and protects information when visitors browse the site, submit a contact form, or interact with outbound links and ads. It covers information gathered through the website and related communications, but it does not apply to third-party websites, merchants, or advertising platforms that may be linked from the site. Those third parties may have their own privacy practices, and users should review them separately.
The site is designed to provide product research, comparison content, and referral links. As with most affiliate-supported sites, some interactions can be measured for analytics and advertising attribution. The practices described here may change as the site evolves, and users should review this page periodically.
Information We Collect
PortableAirCool may collect information that visitors choose to provide, as well as information gathered automatically through standard web technologies. This can include:
- Contact form submissions, including names, email addresses, and any message content shared with the site.
- Cookies and similar technologies used for analytics, session handling, and ad measurement.
- Ad-platform click IDs such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when a visitor arrives through a tracked advertising link.
- Referrer information that indicates the page or source that sent a visitor to the site.
- Device and browser information, such as browser type, operating system, language settings, approximate location derived from IP address, and general device identifiers.
- Usage data, including pages viewed, time spent on pages, clicks, scrolling activity, and similar site interaction signals.
Some of this information may be collected automatically through analytics tools or advertising pixels. In many cases, the data is aggregated or pseudonymized, though certain identifiers may still be considered personal information under applicable laws, depending on how they are used.
How We Use Information
Information collected by the site may be used to operate the website, improve content, measure traffic, and understand how visitors interact with product pages and comparison content. Many customer reviews describe a preference for clearer comparisons and product details; however, results vary based on the products, the audience, and the information provided.
More specifically, the site may use information to:
- Analyze traffic patterns and page performance.
- Track conversions and ad campaign performance.
- Respond to questions, comments, or other contact requests.
- Improve content layout, site navigation, and editorial coverage.
- Detect fraud, abuse, or technical issues.
Where required by law, certain processing may be based on consent, legitimate interests, contractual necessity, or compliance obligations. Individual experiences may differ depending on jurisdiction and the type of data involved.
Third Parties
PortableAirCool may share or transmit information with service providers and advertising partners that help run the site or measure performance. These third parties may process data under their own privacy terms and policies. The site may work with the following categories of providers:
- Google Ads for advertising delivery, remarketing, and conversion measurement.
- Microsoft Ads for ad attribution and campaign reporting.
- MaxBounty as an affiliate network for tracking referrals and partner offers.
- DFO Performance as an affiliate network or partner platform used for offer tracking and reporting.
- ClickBank as an affiliate marketplace and tracking network for certain offers.
- MaxWeb as an affiliate network used for referral and conversion tracking.
- BuyGoods as a commerce and affiliate platform used to manage certain transactions or referrals.
- Hosting provider for website infrastructure, security, and delivery of site content.
- Email provider for handling inbound and outbound correspondence related to the site.
Data shared with these parties may include IP address, device information, click IDs, referrer data, and event data tied to ad or affiliate interactions. The extent of sharing can vary based on user settings, browser controls, and the tools active on the site.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, understand how visitors move through the site, and measure whether a click or visit can be associated with an ad or affiliate source. These technologies can help the site function properly and can also support analytics and advertising measurement.
Visitors may be able to manage cookies through browser settings or device controls. Some browsers allow blocking or deleting cookies, while ad preference tools may provide additional choices about targeted advertising. Disabling cookies may limit certain functions or reduce the accuracy of analytics, and some features may not work as intended.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information, as well as the right to object to or limit certain processing. Under GDPR, users in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom may have rights related to lawful basis, data portability, and complaint handling. Under CCPA and similar laws, California residents may have rights to know, delete, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, where applicable.
Visitors may also be able to opt out of targeted advertising through browser settings, platform controls, or consent tools where those are available. Any request will be reviewed in light of the applicable legal framework and operational constraints. Results vary based on the request, the jurisdiction, and the type of data retained.
Data Retention
Personal information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including analytics, security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and business recordkeeping. Retention periods can differ depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
For example, contact form submissions may be kept long enough to handle the inquiry and maintain a basic business record, while analytics and advertising data may be retained according to the settings of the relevant provider or the site’s internal retention practices. When information is no longer needed, the site may delete it, anonymize it, or store it in a restricted form where appropriate.
