Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 8th August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how BrasQ (“BrasQ,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you visit www.brasq.com (the “Site”), subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise interact with us.
BrasQ is a product review and recommendation website. We are supported by readers: as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through links on our Site. We also display advertising and offer an email newsletter. This policy describes the data practices connected to those activities.
By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide to us
- Newsletter sign-up: When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address and, where applicable, your name and country/region.
- Contact and correspondence: If you contact us through our contact form or by email, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
- Comments and feedback: If the Site allows comments or surveys, we collect the information you choose to submit.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our third-party partners automatically collect certain information through cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, including:
- Device and browser information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, and screen resolution.
- Usage information: Pages viewed, links clicked (including affiliate links), referring website, time spent on pages, and the dates and times of your visits.
- Approximate location: A general location (such as city or country) inferred from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.
Information from third parties
We may receive aggregated or statistical information from our service providers, such as email open and click rates from our email service provider, or audience statistics from our analytics and advertising partners. We do not purchase personal information from data brokers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content;
- Send you our email newsletter and related updates, deals, and product recommendations (only if you have subscribed);
- Respond to your questions, comments, and requests;
- Measure how visitors use the Site so we can understand which reviews and guides are most useful;
- Display advertising, including personalized advertising where permitted, and measure its performance;
- Track referrals to retail partners (such as Amazon) so we can earn affiliate commissions on qualifying purchases;
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security issues, and technical problems;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, the use of third-party advertising cookies on the Site may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, or “targeted advertising,” under certain U.S. state privacy laws. See Section 8 for your rights and choices.
3. Affiliate Links and the Amazon Associates Program
BrasQ is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and its international storefronts.
When you click an affiliate link on our Site, you are directed to the retailer’s website (for example, Amazon), and the retailer may set cookies on your device to attribute your purchase to BrasQ. We receive only aggregated, non-identifying reports from these programs (such as the number of clicks and commissions earned). We do not receive your name, payment details, or full order history from Amazon.
Once you leave our Site, your interactions with Amazon or any other retailer are governed by that retailer’s own privacy policy, not ours. We encourage you to review the Amazon Privacy Notice for details on how Amazon handles your information.
Affiliate relationships do not affect the price you pay. For more information, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We and our partners use cookies (small text files stored on your device), pixels, and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the Site to function (for example, security and load balancing). These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the Site (for example, Google Analytics via Google Site Kit). The data is aggregated and used to improve our content.
- Advertising cookies: Used by our advertising partners (including Google AdSense) to display ads, limit how often you see an ad, measure ad performance, and where you have consented or not opted out, show you personalized ads based on your interests.
- Affiliate cookies: Set by retail partners such as Amazon when you click a product link, so that purchases can be attributed to our Site.
Your cookie choices
- Cookie consent banner: Where required by law (for example, in the EU/EEA, UK, and certain other regions), we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings link on the Site.
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking cookies may affect how the Site functions.
- Google ad personalization: You can control how Google personalizes ads at Google Ads Settings and learn more at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
- Industry opt-outs: You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies at aboutads.info/choices (Digital Advertising Alliance), youradchoices.ca (Canada), and youronlinechoices.eu (Europe).
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): Where required by applicable law, we treat a GPC browser signal as a valid request to opt out of targeted advertising / the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information.
We do not respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals other than GPC, as no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted.
5. Our Newsletter
Our newsletter is strictly opt-in. We will only send you marketing emails if you have signed up through a form on the Site (or otherwise given us your express consent, as required by laws such as Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) and the EU/UK GDPR).
- What we send: Deals, product recommendations, new reviews, and related updates.
- Who processes it: We use a third-party email service provider to store our subscriber list and deliver emails. Our provider may collect standard email engagement data (such as opens and clicks) on our behalf.
- How to unsubscribe: Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time with one click, or by contacting us at the address in Section 12. Unsubscribe requests are honored promptly and without charge.
Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not affect emails we may need to send you for non-marketing reasons (for example, responding to an inquiry you sent us).
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not share your newsletter email list with third parties for their own marketing. We share personal information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: With vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, email newsletter delivery, analytics, security, and technical support. These providers may only use your information to provide services to us.
- Advertising partners: Our advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) collect information directly from your browser via cookies and similar technologies, as described in Section 4.
- Affiliate networks and retailers: As described in Section 3, retailers set their own cookies when you click an affiliate link; we do not transmit your personal details to them.
- Legal and safety: When required by law, subpoena, or court order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, or to investigate fraud or abuse.
- Business transfers: If BrasQ is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify subscribers of any change in ownership that affects the handling of their personal information.
7. Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy:
- Newsletter data: Retained while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we retain your email address on a suppression list only, to make sure we don’t email you again.
- Contact correspondence: Retained as long as reasonably necessary to handle your inquiry and maintain business records.
- Analytics and log data: Retained in identifiable form only for limited periods set with our analytics providers, after which it is deleted or aggregated.
We may retain information longer where required by law or to resolve disputes.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:
- The right to access the personal information we hold about you;
- The right to correct inaccurate information;
- The right to delete your personal information;
- The right to portability (receive a copy of your data in a usable format);
- The right to opt out of targeted advertising and any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information;
- The right to withdraw consent at any time (for example, unsubscribing from the newsletter or changing your cookie settings);
- The right to object to or restrict certain processing;
- The right not to be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
How to exercise your rights: Email us at info@finloa.com with your request. We will verify your identity (usually by confirming control of the email address associated with your data) and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. You may also use an authorized agent where the law permits. If we decline a request, we will explain why, and you may have the right to appeal our decision.
Region-specific notes
- European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland (GDPR/UK GDPR): Our legal bases for processing are consent (newsletter, non-essential cookies), legitimate interests (operating and securing the Site, measuring content performance), and legal obligation. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
- United States (state privacy laws): Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may exercise the rights above, including opting out of targeted advertising via our cookie settings or a GPC signal. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
- Canada (PIPEDA and CASL): We collect, use, and disclose personal information with your consent or as permitted by law. You may withdraw consent, request access to your personal information, and challenge its accuracy by contacting us. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada with concerns.
9. International Data Transfers
BrasQ and its service providers may store and process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses or our providers’ certified data transfer frameworks) for transfers of personal information out of the EEA, UK, or other regions with data transfer restrictions.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect personal information, including HTTPS encryption on the Site and access controls with our service providers. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use caution when transmitting information online.
11. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the higher age required in your jurisdiction, such as 16 in parts of the EU). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
12. Third-Party Links
Our Site contains links to third-party websites, most notably retailer sites such as Amazon. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by BrasQ. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page and, for material changes, provide additional notice (such as a banner on the Site or an email to newsletter subscribers where appropriate). Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
