Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to our Privacy Policy page. Here at aspen.review, your privacy is paramount. We are committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring you understand your rights and the measures we take to safeguard your information.

This Privacy Policy explains the ways we may use, process, and store your personal data. Personal data refers to any information that identifies you personally or can be reasonably linked to you.

We collect your personal data primarily to fulfill any contractual or legal obligations we have with you, or when necessary to deliver the services you have requested from us. In certain instances, we collect your personal information based on your explicit consent and approval.

For services that aspen.review directly offers to you (like when you engage with our websites or make a purchase), aspen.review acts as the “Controller” of your personal data. This means we determine how and why your information is processed, always aiming to respect your privacy and rights.

Personal Information We May Collect from You

At aspen.review, we gather information either because it’s necessary under legal, contractual reasons, or because you have explicitly agreed to provide it to us for specific purposes. Additionally, we may collect data when it aligns with our legitimate interests, always ensuring that your privacy rights are maintained.

You may share personal information with us under various circumstances such as:

  • Account Creation: When you create an account on our platforms.

We utilize third-party services like Google Analytics and Matomo to monitor website activity. These tools help us:

  • Analyze Trends: We analyze visitor behavior to improve site performance and user experience. These tools use anonymized data, meaning individual users are not identified.
  • Marketing Insights: We evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and refine our strategies based on aggregated usage data.
