ChairsideReviews (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website at chairsidereviews.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. The Site publishes dentist-authored product reviews written by Christopher Yoo, DMD. We are an editorial and affiliate publisher — we are not your dentist, the Site does not establish a doctor-patient relationship, and nothing on the Site is personalized medical advice.
What this site is
ChairsideReviews is a product-review publication covering dental hygiene and consumer dental products. We participate in affiliate programs (including the Amazon Associates Program) and may earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through links on the Site, at no additional cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Information we collect
Information you give us
If you contact us through a contact form, email, or comment, we receive whatever you choose to share — typically your name, your email address, and the content of your message. We use that information to respond to you. We do not sell it.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our hosting provider and analytics tools automatically receive standard request data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the page you came from, the pages you view on the Site, and the date and time of each request. We use this information to understand traffic patterns and to maintain the Site.
Cookies and similar technologies
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, and affiliate-link attribution. Affiliate networks (for example, Amazon Associates) set their own cookies when you click an affiliate link so the network can attribute a purchase to the Site. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect how the Site functions.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to operate and improve the Site, respond to reader messages, measure aggregate traffic, comply with our legal obligations, and protect the Site against abuse. We do not use reader information for advertising targeting beyond the standard affiliate attribution described above.
Third-party services
The Site relies on third-party services that have their own privacy policies, including (without limitation) our web host, our analytics provider, our content delivery and caching provider, our search-engine tools, and the affiliate networks whose links appear on the Site. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those services. We do not control their data practices.
Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Site (such as hosting and analytics), with affiliate networks when you click an affiliate link, or where required by law (such as in response to a valid subpoena or court order).
Your choices
You can decline cookies through your browser settings. You can stop sharing data with us by not contacting us through the Site. You can ask us to delete any message you have sent us by emailing the address below.
California residents (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act, including the right to know what personal information we collect about you, the right to request deletion of personal information we hold about you, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. ChairsideReviews does not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below; we will verify your request and respond within the timeframes the law requires.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of the page. Material changes will be noted prominently on the Site.
