Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 22, 2026
Hosting Review Lab (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes independent web-hosting reviews, comparisons, pricing research, guides, and tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit hostingreviewlab.com, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
Information we collect
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, our hosting, security, and content-delivery services may automatically process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, requested pages, referring page, date and time, and basic diagnostic or security data. We use this information to deliver the site, prevent abuse, troubleshoot problems, and understand general site usage.
Information you provide
We may receive information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and message when you contact us. If commenting is available and you submit a comment, WordPress may process the information entered in the comment form together with technical information used for moderation and spam prevention.
Cookies and similar technologies
WordPress may use essential cookies for functions such as testing whether your browser accepts cookies and supporting administrator login sessions. If comments are enabled, you may be offered the choice to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience.
Our infrastructure and security providers may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to operate, secure, and route traffic to the site. We may also use aggregated or privacy-focused analytics to understand page performance and general usage. We will update this policy if we add analytics or advertising technologies that materially change our data practices.
Affiliate links and third-party websites
Some links on Hosting Review Lab may be affiliate links. If you click one of these links, the hosting provider or affiliate network may use cookies, referral parameters, or similar identifiers to attribute a visit or purchase. Those companies operate under their own privacy policies, and their practices are not controlled by Hosting Review Lab. Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial scores or recommendations.
The site also links to other third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information.
How we use information
- Operate, maintain, and secure Hosting Review Lab.
- Deliver pages, tools, and requested site features.
- Respond to questions and other communications.
- Detect spam, fraud, malicious activity, and technical problems.
- Understand general site usage and improve our content and user experience.
- Measure referrals and administer affiliate relationships.
- Comply with applicable law and protect our legal rights.
How information may be shared
We may share information with service providers that help us host, secure, maintain, and measure the site, including our web host, content-delivery and security providers, and WordPress service providers. These providers process information on our behalf or under their own applicable terms.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate abuse, protect users or the public, enforce our terms, or protect the rights and security of Hosting Review Lab. If the site or its assets are transferred, relevant information may be included in that transaction subject to applicable law.
Data retention and security
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including security, troubleshooting, recordkeeping, and legal obligations. Retention periods vary by the type of information and the service processing it.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no website or method of transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and privacy rights
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may affect certain site functions. Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information. To submit a privacy request, email us using the address below. We may need to verify your request before responding.
Children’s privacy
Hosting Review Lab is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the site, please contact us so we can review and address the request.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site, its service providers, or applicable requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top identifies the current version.
