This Privacy Policy describes how blacklistratings.com ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our website ("Site"). This includes situations where you submit a review using Google or Facebook login but choose to display a pseudonym.

Information We Collect

Google Login: We do not collect any personal information from your Google account directly. During login, Google shares a unique identifier and basic profile information (name, email address, profile picture) based on your privacy settings.
Facebook Login: Similar to Google, we do not collect personal information directly from your Facebook account. Instead, Facebook shares a unique identifier and basic profile information (name, profile picture) based on your privacy settings.

Review Information:

The content of your review, including any ratings, descriptions, and images.
The date and time the review was submitted.
IP address: We collect your IP address when you submit a review, but it is stored securely and not directly linked to your review.
Your unique identifier - this is necessary to allow you to see which reviews you have submitted and to identify comments on your review as the reviewer's additional comments.

Profile Name:

You can choose to display your Google or Facebook name, or a pseudonym of your choice, for your review. This name will be publicly visible on the Site.

Information You Choose to Share:

While submitting a review, you may optionally include additional details that could identify you, such as your location or profession.

Ownership of Reviews:

All reviews submitted on our Site become the property of blacklistratings.com. This means we can display, edit, publish, and remove reviews at our discretion. However, we will not attribute your real name or any personally identifiable information to the review unless you explicitly choose to do so.

How We Use Your Information

Enable you to submit and interact with reviews.
Verify Google or Facebook login and prevent abuse.
Identify and display your chosen profile name for your review.
Improve the functionality and content of our Site.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your personal information with any third parties except Google or Facebook for the purpose of verifying your login.
We may disclose review information, including your chosen profile name, but not personal information, to the public, businesses, or other users for informational purposes.
We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or property, or to prevent harm to you or others.

Your IP address might be used to identify you in specific legal cases.
You might unintentionally reveal identifying information within your review content.
Your chosen profile name might provide clues to your identity.

We retain review information indefinitely unless legally required to remove it.
Your Google or Facebook login information is not stored by us but remains under their respective data retention policies.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of your information.

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
