We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
We collect publicly available reviews from third-party platforms to display in your widget. This information is already publicly accessible on the internet.
We process publicly available review data (including reviewer names and profile information where displayed) based on our legitimate interest in providing business intelligence and reputation management services (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)).
We have concluded that our interest in providing review aggregation services does not override data subjects' rights, as we only process data that individuals have voluntarily made public on third-party platforms.
Original review content remains the property of the respective authors and platforms. We act as an aggregator of publicly available information to help you display reviews on your website.
If you are the original author of a review and wish to modify or remove it, please contact the original platform (Google, Yelp, Healthgrades, etc.) directly. Our widgets display publicly available content and automatically reflect changes made on source platforms during regular synchronization cycles.
