Privacy Policy

How Consumer Rating collects, uses and protects your data while providing independent buying advice. We do not sell your personal information.

Last updated November 2026

01Introduction & scope

Consumer Rating is the buying-guide section of AltFTool. We respect your privacy and collect as little personal information as we can.

This policy explains what we collect, why, and how we protect it when you read our buying guides, use our buying tools or subscribe to our email newsletter.

02Data we collect

We collect only the data needed to run the site reliably, prevent abuse and send the emails you ask for:

  • Technical data: IP address, browser version, device screen size and operating system.
  • Usage data: aggregate page views, clicks on links to official sources, and anonymous use of our tools.
  • Communication data: the email address you submit to join the newsletter, with a record of the consent you gave.

03How we use your data

We process data on the basis of your consent (for the newsletter) and our legitimate interest in running a safe, useful site:

  • To provide, maintain and improve our buying guides and tools.
  • To send the newsletter you subscribed to. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
  • To detect and prevent automated sign-ups, spam and other abuse.
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations.
