Luxry Reviews (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website https://www.luxryreviews.com/ (the “Site”), a blog that reviews luxury products and services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal data when you visit or interact with the Site. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Site.

5) When we share your data

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited data with:

  • Service providers/Processors: hosting, analytics, email delivery, form tools, security, and anti-spam services—only as needed to provide the Site.
  • Affiliate and advertising partners: to measure clicks, conversions, and comply with their reporting requirements (typically pseudonymous/aggregated).
  • Professional advisers and legal authorities where necessary to comply with law or protect our rights.
  • Business transfers: if we restructure, merge, or sell assets, data may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.

All processors are bound by confidentiality and data-processing terms consistent with applicable laws.

6) Cookies & similar technologies

We use first- and third-party cookies, pixels, and local storage to:

  • keep the Site secure and functioning;
  • remember preferences;
  • perform analytics and measure performance;
  • attribute affiliate clicks and conversions;
  • (where used) support advertising or sponsored placements.

Where required, we will display a cookie banner seeking your consent for non-essential cookies. You can also control cookies via your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect Site functionality.

7) Analytics, ads, and affiliate links

  • We use analytics to understand aggregate Site usage and improve content.
  • Our articles may include affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate partners may place cookies to attribute sales.
  • We clearly mark sponsored content where applicable.

8) International transfers

Our service providers may process data in countries outside your own. Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your data during such transfers.

9) Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, including:

  • contact records and newsletter data: until you unsubscribe or your request is resolved, plus a reasonable period for compliance;
  • analytics data: per provider default/contractual periods;
  • comments and UGC: for the life of the content unless removal is requested or required.

10) Security

We use administrative, technical, and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No online service can be 100% secure; please use the Site with appropriate care.

You may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to processing, and data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

You may have the right to know/access, correct, delete, and to opt out of “selling” or “sharing” personal information (as defined by CPRA). We do not knowingly sell personal information.
