Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how MattressPicks, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Scott Saxon, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors access the site. It covers data collected through pages, forms, and tracking technologies used for analytics and advertising attribution. Because this site relies on affiliate links and ad platforms, some information may be shared with third parties as described below. Privacy practices can change over time, so users may wish to review this page periodically.
Information We Collect
MattressPicks may collect information that visitors provide directly, such as contact form submissions and any details included in messages. The site may also collect technical and usage information automatically, including cookies, analytics data, referrer information, device and browser details, IP-related signals, and approximate location data derived from those signals. In addition, the site may receive ad-platform click identifiers such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when users arrive via paid or tracked links. This information helps attribute visits and measure engagement, though results vary based on browser settings, ad settings, and user consent choices.
How We Use Information
Information is used to maintain the site, understand how pages are used, measure referral and conversion performance, and respond to inquiries sent through contact forms or email. Analytics may help identify which articles or product pages receive attention, but these signals can be incomplete or delayed. Data may also support troubleshooting, fraud prevention, and basic security monitoring. Some customers may notice more relevant content or better site performance as a result, although individual experiences may differ.
Third Parties
MattressPicks may share or disclose information to service providers and partners that help operate the site. These third parties may include:
- Google Ads, which may use cookies or identifiers for ad delivery, attribution, and measurement.
- Microsoft Ads, which may process click identifiers and related conversion data.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may track referrals and commissions from outbound links.
- The hosting provider, which stores site files and may process server logs for reliability and security.
- The email provider, which may process messages sent to the contact address and retain them according to its own policies.
Each third party operates under its own privacy practices, and MattressPicks does not control how those companies handle data once it is shared or collected on their systems.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, measure page performance, and support advertising attribution. Some cookies are essential for basic site functions, while others help analytics and marketing tools understand how visitors arrive and interact with content. Users may block or delete cookies through browser settings, though some features may not function as intended if tracking is disabled. Consent tools, where available, may also allow users to adjust preferences for non-essential tracking.
Your Rights
Depending on location, visitors may have rights to access, correct, delete, or limit certain personal information. Users may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of data sharing under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, where applicable. Requests will be reviewed based on the information available and any legal obligations that apply. Because tracking often involves multiple service providers, some choices may need to be made directly with those providers or through browser and device settings.
Data Retention
MattressPicks retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law, tax, accounting, dispute resolution, or security needs. Contact form submissions and related correspondence may be kept to manage follow-up, maintain records, and prevent repeated issues. Analytics and advertising data may be retained according to the settings and retention schedules of the relevant platforms. Retention periods can vary based on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.

Privacy requests should include enough detail to identify the relevant information or account, if any. Responses may depend on verification, legal requirements, and the scope of the request. Because this site is operated by Scott Saxon, privacy communications will be handled by the site’s administrative contact process.
