Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy governs the data practices of SecurityRadarX.com (“the Site,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by SecurityRadarX Advanced Threat Defense Lab. By accessing or using this Site, you acknowledge and agree to the data practices described herein. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.

1. Data Collection

We collect the following categories of data automatically or through user interaction:

Automatically Collected Data:

  • IP addresses and approximate geolocation (country/region level)
  • Browser type, version, and operating system
  • Referring URLs and exit page data
  • Pages visited, time on page, and click-path behavior
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Server log files timestamped to each site session

Analytics Data:

  • Aggregated traffic metrics collected via Google Analytics 4 (GA4) or equivalent platform
  • Bounce rates, session duration, and content engagement signals
  • Conversion events (e.g., outbound link clicks to vendor pages)

User-Submitted Data:

  • Name and email address submitted voluntarily via contact forms
  • Inquiry content and correspondence records

We do not collect Social Security numbers, payment card data, government-issued ID numbers, or sensitive personal financial information of any kind.

2. Use of Information

Data collected by SecurityRadarX is used strictly for the following operational and editorial purposes:

  • Site Performance Optimization — Identifying slow-loading pages, broken links, and technical errors to maintain laboratory-grade site reliability
  • Traffic Analysis — Understanding which content categories (antivirus reviews, threat reports, methodology pages) generate the highest reader engagement
  • Editorial Planning — Determining which threat vectors and product categories warrant expanded testing coverage based on reader demand signals
  • Correspondence Management — Responding to reader, vendor, and press inquiries submitted through contact forms
  • Legal Compliance — Retaining records as required by applicable law or regulatory obligation

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade personally identifiable information to third parties for commercial purposes under any circumstances.

3. Affiliate Tracking Cookies

Important Disclosure: SecurityRadarX participates in third-party affiliate marketing programs. When you click an outbound link to a software vendor (including but not limited to McAfee, Norton, Bitdefender, NordVPN, or similar products), a tracking cookie is placed on your device by the affiliate network facilitating that relationship (such as Commission Junction / CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, Impact Radius, or the vendor’s proprietary affiliate platform). This cookie allows the affiliate network to attribute any resulting purchase to this Site, generating a commission paid to SecurityRadarX at no additional cost to you.

Specific details regarding affiliate cookie behavior:

  • Cookie Placement: Triggered at the moment of outbound link click, not upon page load
  • Cookie Duration: Typically 7 to 90 days depending on the vendor’s affiliate program terms; exact duration varies by program
  • Data Recorded: Referral source (this Site), click timestamp, and session identifiers — not your name, email, or payment data
  • Administering Parties: The affiliate network (e.g., CJ, ShareASale) and the destination vendor, not SecurityRadarX directly
  • Commission Impact: Affiliate commissions do not influence product scores, rankings, or editorial conclusions published on this Site

You may opt out of affiliate tracking cookies by enabling your browser’s “Do Not Track” setting, using a browser extension that blocks third-party cookies, or declining non-essential cookies via our cookie consent banner where applicable.

  • Third-party sites operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review before submitting personal information
  • We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy compliance of any external site
