At BestMirrorlessCameraPick.com, we take your privacy seriously. This policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. We also explain our use of cookies and your options to control your personal information. This policy is designed to align with privacy standards including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We believe privacy should be easy to understand—not hidden behind complicated legal wording—so this page lays everything out in plain English.
By continuing to use this website, you’re agreeing to the practices described here. If you don’t agree with any part of this policy, you should stop using the website immediately. Your trust is important to us, and we’re committed to safeguarding your data while delivering valuable, user-first content.
Who We Are
BestMirrorlessCameraPick.com is a content platform dedicated to camera advice, product comparisons, and helpful guides tailored for photographers and creators. The site is managed and maintained by PhotoMedia.Digital, a digital publishing company that builds trusted platforms across various creative and technology-focused niches.
Our mission is to make camera research easier and more transparent. To do that effectively, some data is collected from users to improve performance, personalization, and security. We don’t collect more than we need, and we never use personal information for any purpose unrelated to improving your experience or responding to your requests.
All content is independently written, and while we may use affiliate links to support our work, this never impacts your privacy or browsing experience. If you have questions about this privacy policy or how your data is used, you’re welcome to contact us directly at hello@bestmirrorlesscamerapick.com.
What Information We Collect
When you visit the site, certain information is automatically collected, and some data is provided by you voluntarily. We collect only what’s necessary to run the site efficiently, improve our content, and respond to your inquiries. Voluntary information includes data you enter into forms such as your name or email address—usually when reaching out via contact forms or subscribing to a newsletter.
Automatically collected data includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, screen resolution, session duration, and your behavior on our pages (like what you click or how long you stay). This is collected through cookies and third-party tools such as analytics and affiliate tracking scripts.
We never collect sensitive personal data such as health information, financial details, or government-issued identification. We also do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age.
All data collected is kept secure, used responsibly, and handled with transparency. We respect your control over your data and offer opt-out mechanisms where applicable.
How We Use Your Information
The data we collect serves multiple functions, all aimed at improving your experience and maintaining the site. Your information allows us to respond to messages, customize content delivery, and track site performance. If you sign up for a newsletter, your email is used strictly for that purpose—you’ll never receive spam or unrelated promotions from us.
Analytics tools help us understand what content people are engaging with the most, where visitors are coming from, and how the website can be better optimized for usability. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized, meaning it’s not tied back to you personally.
We also use affiliate tracking scripts to monitor whether a product link led to a sale. This helps us earn commissions that keep the site running—without affecting your purchase or price. That data is never used to profile you or shared with advertisers outside the affiliate networks.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to anyone. Your trust is far more important than any marketing gain. Data collected is used only for legitimate site functions and user communication.
Legal Bases for Processing Data (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, we’re required to explain the legal basis on which we process your personal information. There are four main grounds under which we may process your data:
- Consent: If you voluntarily submit a form or sign up for a newsletter, we process your data based on clear consent. You can withdraw that consent at any time.
- Legitimate interest: This covers essential data like page views or engagement metrics used for analytics and improving user experience. These actions help us keep the website functional and relevant.
- Contractual necessity: If you reach out with a service request or business inquiry, we may use your contact info to follow up or fulfill the request.
- Legal obligation: In rare cases, we may need to retain certain records or provide data if required by law, such as in compliance with authorities or legal investigations.
Each type of processing is limited to what’s necessary and never used beyond its original purpose.
Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
As a user, you have several rights that allow you to control how your personal data is collected, stored, and used. These rights differ slightly depending on your region but are generally consistent with global data protection principles.
If you’re in the European Union, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data under the GDPR. You can also request a copy of the data we have about you, object to its use for marketing purposes, or ask us to stop processing your data entirely.
If you’re a California resident, the CCPA gives you the right to know what data is collected, whether it’s shared, and the ability to request its deletion. Although we don’t sell data, you still have the right to opt out of any potential sale under CCPA terms.
To make a privacy-related request, email us at hello@bestmirrorlesscamerapick.com with the subject “Data Request”. We’ll process your request within the legally mandated time frame and confirm completion.
Cookies Policy
Cookies help websites remember useful information about visitors, such as login preferences or which pages were viewed. At BestMirrorlessCameraPick.com, we use cookies to track site usage, understand behavior patterns, and ensure smooth functionality. Cookies allow us to measure which articles perform best and where readers are engaging most—without identifying you personally.
There are different types of cookies used here. Some are essential, which means the site won’t function properly without them. Others are performance-based, helping us analyze traffic. We also use functional cookies that remember things like user preferences. Affiliate cookies track outbound clicks to partner sites so we can earn commissions. Lastly, third-party cookies may come from services like Google Analytics or YouTube embeds.
You can choose to accept or reject cookies through your browser settings. If you block cookies, some features may stop working as expected. You can delete all stored cookies from your browser at any time.
Third-Party Tools & Services
To improve the performance and reliability of our website, we use several third-party tools that may collect or process data on our behalf. These services help us monitor traffic, track affiliate interactions, manage email communication, and provide multimedia features like embedded videos.
Among the tools we use, Google Analytics plays a major role in understanding how visitors interact with our site—what content they read, how long they stay, and how they navigate from page to page. This data is anonymized and never includes personally identifiable information. Google Search Console is another platform we use to understand how our site appears in search results and to identify technical issues.
If you click on product links or banners, affiliate tracking may apply. These third-party networks use cookies to track whether a referral from our site results in a purchase, so we can earn a small commission. These cookies don’t add any cost to your purchase and are typically valid for a limited time.
We also occasionally embed content from platforms like YouTube or Instagram, which may set cookies or collect data based on your interaction with those elements. These platforms have their own privacy policies which you can review on their websites.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as it’s necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. How long we keep data depends on the type of information and the reason it was collected. For example, if you contact us via email or form, your message and our reply may be stored for reference, troubleshooting, or support history. These messages are typically stored for no more than 12 months unless legally required to retain them longer.
Analytical data collected through tools like Google Analytics is generally kept in anonymized or aggregated form. This allows us to study historical trends without storing identifiable user information. Affiliate tracking data is handled by external platforms and governed by their respective retention policies, usually for no longer than 30–90 days.
If you’ve subscribed to an email list, your email address is kept until you unsubscribe. Once unsubscribed, it is either deleted or archived in a suppression list to ensure you don’t receive future emails unless you opt-in again.
If you request data deletion under GDPR or CCPA rights, we will process and confirm your request within the legal time frame, typically within 30 days.
Data Security
Protecting your data is a top priority. We use a variety of safeguards—both technical and procedural—to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure of your information. All communication between your browser and our website is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, which you can identify by the “https” prefix in our website address.
Your information is stored on secure servers hosted by reputable cloud service providers with a strong track record of data protection. Access to data is restricted to team members or contractors who need it to perform their responsibilities and who are bound by confidentiality agreements.
Although we make every effort to secure our systems, it’s important to understand that no digital platform can be completely immune from risks. If a security breach affecting your data ever occurs, we will notify affected users as required by applicable laws and take immediate steps to contain and resolve the issue.
To help protect yourself, avoid using public networks when submitting personal information online and ensure that your devices have up-to-date security measures installed.
Children’s Privacy
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect, store, or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you’re under 13, please do not use this site, submit any forms, or provide any personal information.
Parents or legal guardians who believe their child may have provided personal information through this website should contact us immediately at hello@bestmirrorlesscamerapick.com. Upon confirmation, we will promptly delete any associated data from our records.
We encourage parents to actively monitor their children’s internet use and to take steps to educate them about safe practices online. While our content focuses on photography and camera advice—which is suitable for all ages—it’s designed with adults and hobbyists in mind, particularly those making purchasing decisions or researching gear.
We comply fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and similar laws in other jurisdictions, and we take children’s privacy very seriously.
International Users
Our website is accessible from anywhere in the world, and by using it, you’re agreeing to the processing of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of your location. Depending on your country or region, different data protection laws may apply. We aim to meet or exceed privacy expectations under laws like the GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, and similar regulations globally.
If you are visiting from outside United States, where our company is based, please note that your data may be transferred to servers located in other countries, including the United States. These countries may not have the same data protection laws as your own jurisdiction.
That said, we take care to ensure that any personal data we collect, store, or process receives appropriate safeguards no matter where it’s handled. Where applicable, we follow standard contractual clauses, data processing agreements, and best practices to ensure secure and legal data transfers.
If you’re located in a country with stronger privacy protections, you may exercise your rights by contacting us directly at hello@bestmirrorlesscamerapick.com.
Updates to This Policy
As digital tools, privacy laws, and our own content offerings evolve, we may need to update this policy occasionally. When changes are made, we’ll revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we may provide a more direct notification—such as a site-wide banner or email alert (if applicable).
We encourage all visitors to review this policy from time to time to stay informed about how their information is used and protected. Continued use of the site after any changes to this Privacy & Cookies Policy will constitute acceptance of those updates.
If a change materially affects your rights or the way your personal data is used, we’ll do our best to make that clear before those changes take effect.
Your trust means everything to us, and we remain committed to transparency in every interaction.
