Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how LeanVerdict, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by WGF Enterprises INC, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors access the site, submit forms, or interact with links and advertisements. This policy covers information collected through the website and related communications, and it may change from time to time as business practices, legal requirements, or service providers change.
By using the site, visitors acknowledge that some information may be processed by third parties for analytics, advertising, and affiliate attribution. The scope of collection can vary based on browser settings, consent choices, and the way a visitor interacts with the site, so individual experiences may differ.
Information We Collect
LeanVerdict may collect information directly from visitors and automatically through standard web technologies. The information collected can include:
- Contact form submissions, such as name, email address, and message content.
- Cookies and similar identifiers used for analytics, preferences, and advertising attribution.
- Ad-platform click IDs, including gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid, where present in the URL or stored by the browser.
- Referrer information indicating the page or source that brought a visitor to the site.
- Device and browser information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and approximate location derived from network data.
Some information is collected automatically when pages load, while other information is provided voluntarily. Results vary based on a visitor’s browser, privacy settings, and consent choices.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate the site, understand how pages perform, and respond to requests submitted through contact forms. In particular, LeanVerdict may use data for site analytics, conversion tracking, fraud prevention, and affiliate attribution. These uses can help the site understand which content is viewed and which outbound links are clicked, but they do not guarantee any particular outcome for users.
When a visitor reaches out, the information provided may be used to answer questions, address privacy requests, or follow up on technical issues. Some customer reviews describe clearer navigation or more relevant comparisons after analytics are reviewed, but results vary based on content changes and user behavior.
Third Parties
LeanVerdict may share or disclose information to service providers and advertising partners that help operate the website. These third parties may process data under their own privacy terms:
- Google Ads, for advertising measurement and conversion tracking.
- Microsoft Ads, for advertising measurement and conversion tracking.
- Affiliate networks, including MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, for affiliate attribution and commission tracking.
- The hosting provider, for website delivery, security, and server logs.
- The email provider, for handling messages sent to the site.
These parties may use cookies, click identifiers, or device signals to attribute traffic or measure campaign performance. Their data practices may differ from this policy, so visitors should review those providers’ own disclosures where applicable.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, measure traffic, and track affiliate or advertising interactions. Some cookies are essential for basic site function, while others support analytics or marketing attribution. Visitors can usually manage cookies through browser settings or consent tools, though disabling certain technologies may affect site features.
Many customer reviews describe better personalization when cookies are enabled, but individual experiences may differ and some features can function differently without them. Where required by law, consent choices may control non-essential cookies.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, and objection to certain processing. Visitors may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of personal information under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, where applicable. These rights are not absolute and may be limited by legal obligations, security needs, or legitimate business purposes.
Requests can usually be submitted using the contact information below. LeanVerdict will review requests in good faith and respond as required by applicable law, though timing and scope can vary based on the request and identity verification requirements.
Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law, tax rules, dispute handling, or security needs. Analytics records, server logs, and affiliate tracking data may be kept for operational review and fraud prevention. Contact form submissions may be retained to maintain a record of communications and support history.
Retention periods can vary by data type and provider. When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymized, or archived in accordance with internal retention practices and applicable legal requirements.
