Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Opinion Optimal (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit https://opinionoptimal.com/ (the “Site”).

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site.

The Site is intended for users in the United States only.

Information We Collect

Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect information such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser type;
  • device type;
  • operating system;
  • referring pages or URLs;
  • pages viewed;
  • time spent on pages;
  • timestamps;
  • approximate geographic location derived from IP address; and
  • cookie or similar identifier information.

Information you provide voluntarily

Depending on how the Site functions, we may collect information you choose to submit, such as:

  • verdicts, votes, or reactions;
  • comments or other text you submit;
  • information included in messages you send us; and
  • any email address or other contact information you provide through a contact form or email.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • operate and maintain the Site;
  • display and process verdicts, votes, comments, and reactions;
  • understand how visitors use the Site;
  • improve content, usability, and performance;
  • detect, prevent, and investigate spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
  • enforce our Terms and protect the Site;
  • respond to inquiries and support requests; and
  • comply with legal obligations.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and understand how visitors use the Site. Google states that sites using Google Analytics must disclose that use and explain how Google collects and processes data. Google also states that GA4’s default implementation collects items such as number of users, session statistics, approximate geolocation, and browser/device information, and that it stores a client ID in a first-party _ga cookie to distinguish users and sessions.

Google Analytics may collect information about your use of the Site through cookies and similar technologies.

You can learn more about how Google collects and processes data through Google’s own materials. Google also provides a browser add-on that lets users opt out of having visit activity made available to Google Analytics; Google says the add-on blocks the Google Analytics JavaScript on websites from sharing visit activity with Google Analytics, though it does not stop data from being sent to the website itself or to other analytics services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to:

  • keep the Site functioning;
  • understand traffic and engagement;
  • remember preferences where applicable; and
  • improve performance and user experience.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality.

How We Share Information

We may share information:

  • with service providers that help us operate the Site, including hosting, analytics, security, and technical support providers;
  • when required by law, legal process, or government request;
  • to protect the rights, safety, and security of the Site, our users, or others; and
  • in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, bankruptcy, or sale of assets.

We do not sell personal information for money.

Public Content

If you submit a verdict, comment, reaction, or other content to a public area of the Site, that submission may be visible to other visitors. Please do not submit sensitive personal information in public-facing areas.

Categories of personal information we may collect

In the past 12 months, we may have collected:

  • identifiers, such as IP address and online identifiers;
  • internet or other electronic network activity information, such as page views, interaction data, and referral URLs;
  • approximate geolocation data derived from IP address;
  • content of messages, comments, verdicts, or feedback you submit; and
  • inferences drawn from usage data, such as general engagement patterns.

  • directly from you;
  • automatically from your device or browser; and
  • from service providers such as analytics providers.
