Privacy Policy

Transparency and respect are the core foundations for how user data is handled at 360camerapoint.com. Every visit to the site is treated with privacy in mind—no invasive data mining, no surprise tracking, and no sale of personal data.

From gear enthusiasts browsing reviews to photographers comparing 360 camera specs, everyone deserves control over their digital footprint. That belief shapes how information is collected, stored, and protected.

Every privacy practice aligns with key principles: consent, minimalism, and compliance. Data is only gathered when it’s necessary to deliver value or maintain site functionality.


What Types of Personal Data May Be Collected

Identifiable information such as names, email addresses, or messages may be collected when users submit a contact form, leave feedback, or subscribe to a newsletter.

Personal data is never gathered silently or sold to third parties. It’s used strictly for communication or service delivery and only retained as long as needed to serve its purpose.

Credit card numbers, medical details, or sensitive government identifiers are not requested or processed. Every submission is voluntary and triggered by user action.


How Non-Personal Data Supports Functionality

General browsing behavior, device type, browser version, screen resolution, and traffic source are all considered non-personal data. These details help evaluate how the site performs across various devices and audiences.

Analytics tools aggregate this information so it can be used to improve page layouts, reduce loading times, or identify broken features—without linking it to specific individuals.

Such data is analyzed as part of a broader group to understand trends and optimize the user experience. It doesn’t identify who you are, but helps shape what the site becomes.


Ways Personal Data Is Collected on the Site

Data collection only happens when visitors take a deliberate action. Submitting a form, signing up for a newsletter, or clicking an affiliate link are examples of events that may generate data logs.

Passive collection includes device and session details captured through cookies or analytics—subject to cookie banner consent.

There are no hidden tools harvesting data in the background. Every data point collected has a clear purpose and is disclosed through this policy or the consent banner.


Why We Collect and How We Use Your Data

Each piece of data serves a defined role. Email addresses allow for response to inquiries. Device and browser info helps troubleshoot bugs. Aggregate data supports site growth decisions.

The focus is on function, not profiling. No data is collected for behavioral advertising, identity aggregation, or audience resale.

Information may also help detect fraud, prevent abuse, or verify compliance with legal regulations. Every action is tied to one of these pillars: service, security, or support.


Cookie Usage and Data Tracking Technologies

Cookies enable smoother browsing and allow certain preferences or sessions to be remembered across visits. They also support analytics and affiliate referral systems.

Essential cookies keep things running—like remembering if a user closed a popup. Optional cookies can track user behavior to help identify which guides are most helpful.

No cookie sets unauthorized or sensitive information. Every cookie in use is documented and governed by user preferences available through the banner or browser settings.


Third-Party Services and Embedded Tools

360camerapoint.com integrates certain third-party elements like YouTube videos, comment widgets, or product databases. These services may collect their own data through embedded code.

Such interactions are governed by the external service’s own privacy terms. If someone plays an embedded video or clicks an external product widget, tracking cookies or data logs may activate.

Control over those data events rests with the third party—not with this site. However, every effort is made to work with partners who honor privacy standards and respect consent.


Affiliate Link Tracking and Monetization Practices

Affiliate partnerships help sustain the content published on the site. When a user clicks a gear recommendation and makes a purchase, an affiliate cookie may track the action for commission attribution.

These tracking links don’t collect personal information from the user. Instead, they signal that traffic was referred from this site.

Editorial independence is never compromised for commission. Products are chosen for relevance and usefulness, not revenue potential. Tracking cookies from affiliate partners follow strict platform terms and expire automatically after set periods.


How We Store and Retain Information

Data is stored securely in encrypted environments managed by trusted third-party service providers. These may include hosting services, email platforms, or analytics tools.

Retention periods vary. Emails may be kept for a few months for customer service purposes, while anonymous analytics data may be stored longer for trend tracking.

Once data has served its purpose, it is either anonymized or deleted securely. There is no long-term archiving of personal data unless explicitly consented to or legally required.


How We Keep Your Information Secure

Multiple safeguards are in place to keep personal and anonymous data safe. These include secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption, firewalls, limited admin access, and password protection policies.

All third-party tools used for communication or analytics are vetted for GDPR, CCPA, and industry compliance.

While online services can never offer 100% guarantees, every reasonable step is taken to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data in our care.


Your Control Over Your Personal Data

Users can request access to any data collected, correct inaccuracies, withdraw previously granted consent, or request deletion of their information.

These rights apply whether someone is located in the EU under GDPR, in California under CCPA, or in any region with comparable privacy frameworks.

To submit a request, users can send a message through the contact form. Identity verification may be required before sensitive data is altered or removed.


Your Cookie Preferences and Opt-Out Rights

Visitors have full control over cookie behavior. The cookie banner offers immediate control over optional cookies, and browser settings allow for even deeper adjustments.

Cookies can be disabled, blocked, or cleared entirely using settings within Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or other modern browsers.

Users can also opt out of personalized ad tracking via links provided by advertising networks or affiliate platforms. Every effort is made to honor browser “Do Not Track” signals when supported.


Privacy Guidelines for Users Under 13

360camerapoint.com is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13.

No content or feature is targeted at children, and no form asks for age-sensitive personal data. If it’s discovered that a child submitted information, that data will be deleted immediately.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has interacted with the site or entered data are encouraged to reach out directly using the contact form.


Compliance with Global Privacy Laws and Frameworks

Privacy operations align with multiple frameworks: GDPR for European users, CCPA for California residents, and other recognized data laws globally.

Every tool integrated into the site undergoes a privacy impact review. Consent mechanisms, data access pathways, and user rights policies are built with legal compliance in mind.

When laws are updated, internal policies are revised to reflect those changes, ensuring continued alignment across regions and jurisdictions.


How to Submit a Data Request or Contact Us

Questions, concerns, or formal data requests can be submitted using the contact page found in the main menu. All messages are reviewed by the privacy team at PhotoMedia.Digital.

Include specific details like the nature of the request and any identifying information (such as the email used on forms). Responses are typically delivered within five business days.

Privacy matters are never outsourced. Requests are handled internally and confidentially by people who respect your time, data, and digital rights.
