Privacy Policy

Updated October 17, 2022

We take online privacy seriously at Ilrinc.com, and we respect the concerns of our user community. In this policy (the “Privacy Policy”), we describe our privacy practises regarding information we collect through Ilrinc.com to help you make informed decisions about how you share information when you visit or use the site, as well as your rights to determine what we do with the information we collect or maintain about you.

How Ilrinc.com Collects Your Information 

Information You May Choose to Provide to Us

We may gather information directly from you, including personal data, if you want to offer it. For instance, when you join our newsletters or participate in Site-based promotions or surveys, you may give us your name and contact information (such as an email address), date of birth, and other information of a similar sort.

Information you give us about others.

You may provide information about other individuals, such as the name and email address of a friend or contact with whom you wish to share an article or the name and address of the receiver of a gift subscription. Do not provide us with information on third parties unless you have their permission or are authorised to do so. We will use their information per the terms outlined in this Privacy Notice.

Automatically Collected Information When You Access Ilrinc.com

When you visit the Site, our third-party partners and our site may automatically gather information about your visit using methods like cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies. This information may include your IP address, characteristics of your operating system, information about your browser and system settings, information about the computer or mobile device you use to access the Site, unique device identifiers, and click stream data (which shows the page-by-page path you take as you browse the Site). Our third-party partners or we may combine information that we or they automatically gather with other information about you, including information that you voluntarily supply.

Cookies are tiny files used by websites and other online services to store information about users on their computers. This Site may employ cookies (such as HTTP and HTML5) and other forms of local storage. For more information about cookies, see http://www.allaboutcookies.org. Learn more about how to limit or disable cookies on your computer in the section below titled Your Choices. If you opt to disable cookies, this may impact certain parts of the Site that rely on cookies to improve their functionality.

We may place tags (sometimes known as “web beacons”) on site pages or emails we send you to manage our automatic data collection. Web beacons are small files that connect web pages to specific web servers and their cookies. They can be used for various purposes, including counting the number of visitors to the Site, analysing how users navigate around the Site, determining how many emails we send are opened, and determining which articles or links visitors view.

On the Site, we also employ third-party web analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to supply us with statistics and other information about visitors.

“Do Not Track” indications. Your browser settings may enable you to send a “do not track” signal to websites and online services you visit. There is no agreement among industry participants on what “do not track” means in this situation. Ilrinc.com, like many other websites, is not set up to respond to browser “do not track” signals. Click here to learn more about “do not track” signals.

Finally, organisations that provide certain third-party apps, tools, widgets, and plug-ins that may appear on the Site (for example, Facebook “Like” buttons) may gather information about your interactions with these features using automated mechanisms. This information gathering is subject to those suppliers’ privacy policies or notices.

Additional information about our cookies and other tracking technologies can be found in our Cookies Disclosure.

You may also choose to disclose personal information about yourself when participating in the Site’s forums or conversations. Please remember that any information you submit in these forums may be read or recorded by anyone who visits the Site. As a result, you should avoid posting sensitive personal information that you do not want to be made public.

 

How We May Use Information We Collect

Ilrinc.com information may be used for various purposes, including those indicated below. For example, if you contact us with a query and offer your email address, we will answer your enquiry using your provided email address. Furthermore, we utilise the information we receive from you and via the Site to:

    • Provide items and services that you request (for example, when you sign up for our email newsletters);
    • Respond to requests, questions, and comments, as well as give other forms of user assistance;
    • We may offer you products and services through marketing emails or direct you to parts of this Site or other websites that we believe may be of interest to you.
    • To provide you with ads, information, and offers from us or third parties based on your interests and online activity;
    • Communicate and manage your involvement in events, programmes, sweepstakes, and other special offers or promotions.

How We May Share Information

The information we gather through the Site may be accessed by our agents, vendors, consultants, and other service providers that work on our behalf. They are restrained from using personal data obtained through the Site for purposes other than offering the requested service and are subject to confidentiality obligations. Additionally, we might divulge details:

    • With our affiliates for internal business reasons;
    • With third parties for marketing purposes, such as social media networks, data management platforms, and other advertising technology providers. For example, we may match your email address with third parties with whom you have also agreed to share your email address and use this match to send you personalised offers or emails on the Sites and elsewhere online;
    • If the law, a rule, or a legal process (like a court order or subpoena) says we have to;
    • In response to requests from government agencies, like law enforcement, including to meet national security requirements;
    • If we think it’s necessary or appropriate to share information to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity;
    • About analytics and statistical information so that advertisers can learn more about our users;
    • If we sell or give away all or part of our business or assets, this clause will apply (including a reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation). In this case, we will try to give you reasonable notice, such as an email or a notice on our website, of any change in ownership, new uses of your personal information that aren’t compatible with the old uses, and any choices you may have about your personal information; and
  • With your permission or at your discretion.

Data Storage and Availability

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is needed for the reasons it was kept, like letting you use the Website and your products or giving you services. Sometimes, we may need to keep data for a long time to follow the law (including document retention), settle a dispute with a party, or do whatever else is needed to run our business. All our personal information will be governed by this Privacy Policy and our internal rules for keeping information. We respect the fact that you’re in charge of your information. On request, we will try to find out who you are and if we have any information about you or are processing it. You also have the right to change or add personal information that is wrong or missing, delete it, or ask that we stop using it. In some cases, we won’t be able to do what you ask, like if it conflicts with our regulatory obligations, affects legal matters, we can’t verify your identity, or costs too much or takes too much time. In any case, we’ll respond to your request within a reasonable time and explain why we can’t do what you want.  To ask us to do this, send us an email at privacy@ilrinc.com.

Your Options

How We Keep Your Information Safe

We use the proper administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from accidental, illegal, or unauthorised destruction, loss, change, access, disclosure, or use. Still, it’s not possible to guarantee the security of information sent online, and you take some risk when you give information to any website, including this one. If you have a question about data security, email us at security@ilrinc.com. You can email us to ask for an invite to our bug bounty programme so you can report problems you find on Ilrinc.com using security@ilrinc.com.

Links to Other Websites From Ilrinc.com

We may provide links to other websites operated by third parties on this website. We highly advise you to study the privacy statements and policies of any websites you link. We are not liable for the content, terms of service, or privacy policies of websites we do not own or manage.

Surveys and Quizzes

While on Ilrinc.com, you might have the chance to fill out surveys, take quizzes, or use other interactive features that ask for information about you and your likes and dislikes. Your use of these features is entirely up to you. If you choose to participate, be aware that these features may be run by a third party not controlled by Ilrinc.com. This means that the information you give may be collected by a third party and subject to its privacy policy.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not intended or designed for use by children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 years of age. If we learn that we have gathered personal information from a child under 16 years of age, we will erase such information.

Information for Users Outside the United States and European Union

Affiliates and/or service providers may store, transport, and process your personal information in and to the United States and other countries. The data protection regulations in these nations may provide lower protection for your personal information than those in your home country. We take great care to protect your personal information and have developed suitable safeguards for its international transfer. We shall transfer your personal information following applicable data protection legislation and establish appropriate procedures to guarantee that any third party having access to your information sufficiently protects your personal information (for instance, by using the Model Clauses as approved by the European Commission).

 

By using our Site and providing us with personal data, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the collection, use, maintenance, transfer to, and processing of your personal data in the United States or other countries or territories, and unless otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for that data transfer.

If you have questions or want more information regarding the international transfer of your personal data or the precautions in place, please email us at  privacy@ilrinc.com.

How We Will Notify You of Changes to This Privacy Statement

This online privacy policy may be changed from time to time to reflect changes to our privacy practices, such as how we collect or use personal information. If we plan to make any big changes, we will put a big notice on the Ilrinc.com home page to let you know. We also put the date of the last update at the top of the policy.

California Privacy Notice

This California Consumer Act Privacy Notice (“CCPA Notice”) applies to “Consumers” as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). For the purpose of this CCPA Notice, personal information applies to “Personal Information” as defined by the CCPA (also referred to herein as “PI”).

We collect and share the following categories of PI from the corresponding sources and for the corresponding purposes outlined in the table below.

In addition, we may collect, use and disclose your PI as required or permitted by applicable law or as directed by you per this Privacy Policy.

We do not knowingly “sell” personal information that we collect from you, in accordance with the definition of “sell” in the CCPA, and will treat personal information we collect from you as subject to a do not sell request. There is not yet a consensus on whether third-party cookies and tracking devices associated with our websites and mobile apps may constitute a “sale” of your PI as defined by the CCPA. You can exercise control over browser-based cookies by adjusting the settings on your browser. We also list cookies and provide access to their private information and, if available, opt-out programs in our Cookie Policy. Further, you can learn more about your choices regarding online interest-based advertising with the Digital Advertising Alliance or the Network Advertising Initiative. We do not represent that these third-party tools, programs or statements are complete or accurate.

Some browsers have signals that may be characterized as do not track signals, but we do not understand them to operate in that manner or to indicate a do not sell expression by you, so we currently do not recognize these as a do not sell request. We understand that various parties are developing do not sell signals, and we may recognize specific signals if we conclude such a program is appropriate.

California Consumers have the right to exercise their privacy rights under the CCPA. California Consumers may exercise these rights via an authorized agent who meets the agency requirements of the CCPA. Any request you submit is subject to an identification and residency verification process (“Verifiable Consumer Request”). We will not fulfil your CCPA request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the Consumer about whom we collected  PI. In order to verify your identity, we will send you an email to the email address you provided to us, and you must take action as described in our email. This will enable us to verify that the person who made the request controls and has access to the email address associated with the request. We will check our systems for the email address that you provide and any information associated with such email address. If you provide us with an email address that has not been used to interact with us, then we will not be able to verify your identity. In other words, the only reasonable method by which we may verify the identity of individuals is if we have an email address on file that was provided to us in relation to our services. We will be unable to fulfil your request if we cannot verify your identity. 

Some personal information we maintain about Consumers is not sufficiently associated with enough personal information about the Consumer for us to be able to verify that it is a particular Consumer’s personal information (e.g., clickstream data tied only to a pseudonymous browser ID). As required by the CCPA, we do not include that personal information in response to Verifiable Consumer Requests. If we cannot comply with a request, we will explain the reasons in our response.

We will make commercially reasonable efforts to identify Consumer PI that we collect, process, store, disclose, and otherwise use and to respond to your California Consumer privacy rights requests. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded, or overly burdensome.

In order to verify your identity, we will send you an email to the email address that you provide to us, and you must take action as described in our email. This will enable us to verify that the person who made the request controls and has access to the email address associated with the request. We will check our systems for the email address that you provide, and any information associated with such email address. If you provide us with an email address that has not been used to interact with us, then we will not be able to verify your identity. In other words, the only reasonable method by which we may verify the identity of individuals is if we have an email address on file that was provided to us in relation to our services. We will be unable to fulfill your request if we cannot verify your identity.

For your specific pieces of information, as required by the CCPA, we will apply heightened verification standards, which may include a request to provide further information.

You have the right to send us a request, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, for any of the following for the period that is twelve months prior to the request date:

  • The categories of PI we have collected about you.
  • The categories of sources from which we collected your PI.
  • The business or commercial purposes for our collecting or selling your PI.
  • The categories of third parties to whom we have shared your PI.
  • The specific pieces of PI we have collected about you.
  • A list of the categories of PI disclosed for a business purpose in the prior 12 months, or that no disclosure occurred.
  • A list of the categories of PI sold about you in the prior 12 months, or that no sale occurred. If we sold your PI, we will explain:
  • The categories of your PI we have sold.
  • The categories of third parties to which we sold PI, by categories of PI sold for each third party.

You have the right to make or obtain a transportable copy, no more than twice in a twelve-month period, of your PI that we have collected in the period that is 12 months prior to the request date and are maintaining.

Please note that PI is retained by us for various time periods, so we may not be able to fully respond to what might be relevant going back 12 months prior to the request.

Except to the extent we have a basis for retention under CCPA, you may request that we delete your PI that we have collected directly from you and are maintaining. Note also that we are not required to delete your PI that we did not collect directly from you.

You may alternatively exercise more limited control of your PI by instead exercising one of the following more limited opt-outs, including unsubscribing from email newsletters.

We will not discriminate against you in a manner prohibited by the CCPA because you exercise your CCPA rights. However, we may charge a different price or rate, or offer a different level or quality of good or service, to the extent that doing so is reasonably related to the value of the applicable data.  In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale and retention and use of your PI as permitted by the CCPA that can, without limitation, result in reasonably different prices, rates, or quality levels. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its program terms. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional, you will have to affirmatively opt-in to the program and you can opt-out of each program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable program description and terms. We may add or change incentive programs and/or their terms by posting notices on the program descriptions and terms linked to above so check them regularly.

Our Notice to Nevada Residents

Under Nevada law, Nevada residents may opt-out of the sale of certain “covered information” collected by operators of websites or online services. We currently do not sell covered information, as “sale” is defined by such law, and we don’t have plans to sell this information. However, if you would like to be notified if we decide in the future to sell personal information covered by the Act, please go to NevadaPrivacy@Ilrinc.com to provide your name and email address. We may share your data as explained in this privacy policy, such as to enhance your experiences and our services, and those activities will be unaffected by a Nevada do not sell request. You may also have other choices regarding our data practices as set forth elsewhere in this privacy policy.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA):

Controller of your Personal Data

The controller of your personal data under this Privacy Policy is About, Inc., with an address of 3459 Olen Thomas Drive

Where personal data is transferred to and stored in a country not determined by the European Commission as providing adequate levels of protection for personal data, we take steps to provide appropriate safeguards to protect your personal data, including when appropriate entering into standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, obliging recipients to protect your personal data.

Retention of Personal Data

We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was retained, such as to enable you to use the Website and your products or to provide services to you. In some instances, we may retain data for longer periods in order to comply with applicable laws (including those regarding document retention), resolve disputes with any parties, and otherwise as necessary to allow us to conduct our business. All personal data we retain will be subject to this Privacy Policy and our internal retention guidelines.

    • Right of access to your personal data: You have the right to ask us for confirmation on whether we are processing your personal data, and access to the personal data and related information.

Product Recommendations

The internet offers endless consumer choice, putting millions of products at your fingertips, and we want to do what we can to streamline the steps you need to take to find what you’re looking for quickly and reliably.

The expert writers and editors of Ilrinc.com’s product review team help our users make the best purchase decisions by obsessively scouring the retail landscape (both online and off) to identify and research the best products for your healthy lifestyle and family. We receive an affiliate commission on some, but not all, of the products that we recommend if you decide to click through to the retailer site and make a purchase.

Trust: Our independent writers and testers pick products that are the best in their category and they do not know the terms of any of our affiliate partnerships, so you can be sure you are getting authentic and trustworthy recommendations. Furthermore, we buy all of the products that we test with our own money and never accept anything for free from manufacturers. We want to make sure we’re providing you with the most unbiased feedback that we can.

Product content: Curated lists of recommendations are written by writers with subject-matter expertise in every product category. Recommended products run the gamut from budget to splurge-worthy, and are not favored because of any loyalty to one specific retailer or brand. We make it a point to recommend products from reliable companies who deliver exemplary customer service, so you can have a seamless shopping experience. The availability of products is checked daily by a team of dedicated editors.

After a list is published, it is regularly revisited and updated, if needed, to ensure that existing recommendations are fresh, accurate, and helpful.

If you have questions, comments, or opinions you’d like to share with our product review team, please email info@Ilrinc.com.
