Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Recovery Report (recovery-report.com) collects, uses, stores and protects personal data when you visit our website. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in full compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.

1. Controller and Contact

The data controller responsible for this website is:

If you have any questions, requests or concerns regarding your personal data, please contact us at the e-mail address above.

2. What Data We Collect and Why

We collect personal data only to the extent necessary to operate and improve this editorial website. The categories of data we may process include:

• Usage and log data: IP address (anonymised where possible), browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, time and date of access. This data is collected automatically by our server and analytics tools to ensure technical stability and to analyse aggregate traffic patterns.
• Cookie data: Data stored in or read from cookies and similar technologies (see Section 4).
• Contact data: If you send us an e-mail, we process your e-mail address and any information you include in your message in order to respond to your enquiry.

We do not collect special categories of personal data (e.g. health data about you as an individual reader).

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We rely on the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR:

• Art. 6(1)(f) – Legitimate interests: Processing of server log data and basic analytics to maintain the security and performance of our website, and to understand aggregate audience behaviour. We have assessed that these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.
• Art. 6(1)(a) – Consent: Where we use non-essential cookies or tracking technologies (e.g. analytics or advertising cookies), we obtain your prior consent via our cookie consent mechanism. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Art. 6(1)(b) – Contract performance: If you contact us and we need to respond or fulfil a request, processing your contact data is necessary for that purpose.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.

Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly (e.g. maintaining session state, security). These are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest and do not require your consent.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our content in aggregate — which articles are read, how long visitors stay, and how they navigate the site. These are only placed with your consent.

Advertising / affiliate cookies may be set by third-party platforms when you click on product links or affiliate recommendations within our articles. These track clicks and conversions for the purpose of crediting referrals. They are only active with your consent.

You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time via the cookie settings link on this website, or by adjusting your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site.

5. Hosting and Infrastructure

This website is hosted by a third-party hosting provider. As part of hosting our website, the provider may process technical data (including IP addresses) on our behalf as a data processor under a data processing agreement (DPA) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The hosting provider processes data only on our documented instructions and implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

We take care to select hosting providers that offer adequate data protection safeguards. Where data may be transferred to servers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

6. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We may use the following categories of third-party service providers, who may process data on our behalf or independently:

• Web analytics providers: We use analytics tools to measure aggregate traffic and content performance. These providers may set cookies and receive anonymised or pseudonymised usage data.
• Affiliate and performance networks: When we link to products for review or comparison purposes, affiliate tracking may be used by third-party networks to attribute referrals. These networks may set their own cookies on your device when you click affiliate links, subject to your cookie consent.
• Content delivery networks (CDNs): To deliver content quickly and securely, we may use CDN services that temporarily process your IP address to route requests efficiently.
• E-mail services: If you contact us by e-mail, your message is processed via standard e-mail infrastructure.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not share your data with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Where third-party providers are based outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or adequacy decisions to ensure your data remains protected.

7. SSL / TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our web server. You can verify this by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar and the https:// prefix in the URL. Encryption protects your data from interception by third parties during transmission.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law:

• Server log data: Typically retained for up to 30 days, then deleted or anonymised.
• Analytics data: Retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form for the period configured in the relevant analytics tool, generally no longer than 26 months.
• E-mail correspondence: Retained for as long as necessary to handle your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, unless a longer retention is required by law.

9. Your Data Subject Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR): You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, a copy of that data.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data we hold about you.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You may request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances (the "right to be forgotten").
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You may request that we limit the processing of your data in certain situations.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
• Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): You may object at any time to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)). We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
• Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR): Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you are located in the EU/EEA, you may contact the data protection authority in your country of residence or the authority competent for the controller.

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at: [email protected]. We will respond within one month of receiving your request, as required by Art. 12 GDPR.

10. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete such information.

11. Links to External Websites

Our articles may contain links to external websites for reference or product information purposes. Once you leave recovery-report.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies.
