Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

1. Who We Are

DSLRCamerasDeal.com is a camera review and buying guide website based in the United States. We publish independent reviews, head-to-head comparisons, and photography guides to help readers find the right gear for their budget and shooting style. Our editorial team tests cameras, lenses, and accessories and earns revenue through affiliate commissions and display advertising.

This website operates independently and is owned by us. If you need any clarification about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, reach us directly at privacy@dslrcamerasdeal.com.

2. What This Policy Covers

This policy describes the personal data we collect when you visit dslrcamerasdeal.com, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and your rights over it. It applies to this website only and does not cover any third-party websites or services we link to, even if we have an affiliate or advertising relationship with them.

By using this site, you accept the practices described here. If you do not agree, please stop using the site and contact us if you have questions.

3. Data We Collect

a) Data you give us directly

We collect personal data when you choose to interact with us through a form or comment section. Specifically, we collect:

• Contact form submissions—your name, email address, and the content of your message.
• Comment submissions — your name, email address, optional website URL, and comment text. Your email address is never displayed publicly.
• Newsletter sign-ups—your email address and, if you provide it, your first name.

We do not collect or store credit card numbers, bank details, or any other payment information. All purchases happen on third-party retailer sites.

b) Data collected automatically

When you visit this site, your browser and the analytics and security tools we use automatically send certain technical data to us. This includes:

• Your IP address and approximate geographic location (country or city level)
• Browser type, version, and operating system
• The URL of the page you came from before landing on our site
• Pages you visited on this site and the order you visited them in
• Date, time, and length of your visit
• Device type (desktop, tablet, or mobile)

In most cases this data does not identify you as a named individual, but an IP address can constitute personal data under certain privacy laws. We handle it accordingly.

c) Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies—small text files placed on your device—alongside similar technologies such as tracking pixels and browser storage. We and our advertising and analytics partners use these. Section 7 provides a full breakdown of each cookie type.

4. Why We Collect This Data

To run and maintain the site

Some data is needed just to keep the site working—remembering your cookie preferences, preventing spam in comments and contact forms, and protecting the site against bots and malicious traffic.

To answer your questions

When you contact us, we use your name and email address to reply to your message. Sending a contact form does not add you to any mailing list. We only send you marketing emails if you have subscribed to our newsletter separately.

To understand how the site is used

We use anonymized analytics data to see which articles readers read most, how visitors move between pages, how long they stay, and where they exit. This helps us decide what content to publish and fix anything that is not working well.

To send the newsletter

If you signed up for our email list, we use your email address to send updates about new camera reviews, buying guides, and gear deals. Every email includes an unsubscribe link. One click removes you from the list permanently.

To meet legal and tax obligations

We are required to retain certain business records—including records of affiliate income—for tax and accounting purposes. Applicable law, not us, sets the retention periods for these records.

5. Affiliate Links and Commissions

DSLRCamerasDeal.com 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. We also participate in affiliate programs run by B&H Photo, Adorama, and other camera and photography retailers.

When you click a product link on this site and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

Affiliate tracking works through cookies placed on your device by the retailer at the moment you click through from our site. We do not place these cookies ourselves, we cannot read them, and we have no visibility into what you buy. The data collected through affiliate tracking is subject to each retailer’s own privacy policy:

• Amazon: amazon.com/privacy-notice
• B&H Photo: bhphotovideo.com/privacy-policy
• Adorama: adorama.com/privacypolicy

All affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed on our Affiliate Disclosure page and at the top of every article that contains affiliate links. As required by the Amazon Associates Program, we also state the following: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

6. Advertising

We display advertisements on this site through third-party ad networks. These networks use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing history on this site and other websites.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google uses the DoubleClick cookie to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites across the web. You can review and adjust your Google ad settings at adssettings.google.com. Google’s full privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising

This website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit this site, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer or mobile device by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity. The cookie may collect information relating to your use of the site, information about your device such as the device’s IP address and browser type, demographic data, and—if you arrived at the site via a link from a third-party site—the URL of the linking page.

Mediavine ad partners may also collect data about you from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to information collected from this site to serve interest-based advertising across your devices and browsers. For information about Mediavine’s advertising partners and how to opt out of data collection, visit mediavine.com/ad-partners. Mediavine’s full privacy policy is at mediavine.com/privacy-policy.

Opting out of interest-based advertising

You can opt out of interest-based advertising from participating networks through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool. Note that opting out does not stop advertising—it stops personalized advertising. You will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to your interests.

7. Cookies in Detail

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function. Without them, features such as the comment section and contact forms would not work. They cannot be switched off in our systems. They include:

• WordPress session and login cookies (keep you logged in if you have an account)
• Cookie consent cookies (remember your consent preferences so you are not asked again on every visit)
• Security cookies set by Cloudflare to distinguish legitimate visitors from bots

Analytics cookies

We use Google Analytics to measure how visitors use this site. Google Analytics sets cookies that collect anonymized information about which pages you visit, how long you spend on them, what device you use, and where you came from. We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics, which means your full IP address is shortened before it is stored. Google Analytics data is retained for 26 months.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all sites by installing the free Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising cookies

These cookies are set by our ad partners—including Google and Mediavine’s partner network—to build a profile of your interests and serve you relevant advertising on this site and others. They track your browsing across sites that are part of the same advertising network.

Affiliate tracking cookies

When you click a product link on this site, the retailer sets a tracking cookie on your device. This cookie tells the retailer that you arrived from our site, which is how we receive a commission if you make a purchase. The retailer, not us, sets these cookies. Cookie duration varies: Amazon’s affiliate cookie lasts 24 hours; other retailers may use cookies that last 7 to 30 days.

You can view and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, which will limit advertising cookies without affecting the site’s core functions. The exact steps vary by browser—search for “manage cookies” plus your browser name for current instructions.

8. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each of which may process personal data when you use this site. We have reviewed each provider and believe they handle data responsibly, but we are not responsible for their practices. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies directly.

9. How We Protect Your Data

We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect the personal data we hold. These include:

• SSL/TLS encryption on all pages of this site (the padlock in your browser address bar)
• Cloudflare’s security layer, which filters malicious traffic before it reaches our servers
• Limited access to personal data—only the site owner and named administrators can access form submissions or comment data
• Regular WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates to address known security vulnerabilities
• Strong password policies and two-factor authentication on all admin accounts

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we maintain these measures and review them regularly.

10. How Long We Keep Your Data

• Contact form submissions: retained for 12 months from the date of submission, then permanently deleted.
• Published comments: kept for as long as the article they relate to remains published. If you ask us to delete your comment, we will do so promptly unless we have a specific legal reason not to.
• Analytics data: retained in Google Analytics for 26 months before automatic deletion.
• Email subscribers: your details are kept until you unsubscribe or send us a deletion request. We act on both within 7 days.
• Server logs: automatically deleted after 30 days.
• Business and affiliate records: kept for a minimum of 5 years to comply with US federal and state tax laws.

11. Your Rights

California residents—CCPA rights

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and why, the right to request the deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information to third parties. To make a request under the California Consumer Privacy Act, contact us at privacy@dslrcamerasdeal.com.

EEA and UK residents—GDPR rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, our lawful basis for processing contact form and comment data is legitimate interest. Our lawful basis for processing newsletter subscriber data is consent, which you gave when you signed up. You are entitled to withdraw that consent at any time by unsubscribing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority—for example, the ICO in the UK (ico.org.uk) or your local EU supervisory authority.

12. Children’s Privacy

This website does not direct itself at, and does not knowingly collect personal data from, children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has submitted personal data to us, we will delete it immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, contact us at privacy@dslrcamerasdeal.com, and we will take action promptly.

13. External Links

Our articles link frequently to camera manufacturer websites, retailer product pages, review databases, and other photography resources. These links are there to help you—they are not endorsements of those sites’ privacy practices. Once you leave dslrcamerasdeal.com by clicking any external link, this privacy policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

14. Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when our data practices change, when we add new third-party services, or when the law requires it. The date at the top of this page shows when we last revised it. If we make a change that materially reduces your rights, we will post a notice on the site homepage for at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Continued use of the site after any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

15. Contact

For questions about this policy, to report a concern, or to exercise any of your data rights:

• Email: privacy@dslrcamerasdeal.com
• Contact form: dslrcamerasdeal.com/contact

We aim to respond to all privacy-related emails within 2 business days and to complete all data requests within 30 days of receiving them.
