Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how HearWise, an affiliate-supported review and comparison site, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors use the website. The site is operated by Offer Pulse. This policy covers information collected through pages, forms, and advertising or analytics tools tied to the site. It does not cover third-party websites or services that may be linked from HearWise, and their practices may differ.
By using the site, visitors acknowledge that some information may be processed for analytics, conversion measurement, and contact handling. As with many websites, results vary depending on browser settings, device configuration, and the choices made by each visitor.
Information We Collect
HearWise may collect information in several ways, including directly from visitors and automatically through site tools. Depending on how a visitor interacts with the site, the information may include:
- Contact form submissions, such as a name, email address, and the content of a message.
- Cookie and analytics data, including pages viewed, time on page, referring page, and click activity.
- Ad-platform click IDs such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid where present in a URL.
- Referrer information that may show how a visitor arrived at the site.
- Device and browser information, such as browser type, operating system, IP address, and approximate location derived from that address.
Some data is collected automatically when pages load or when a visitor clicks an advertisement or affiliate link. Individual experiences may differ based on browser privacy controls and the settings used on connected services.
How We Use Information
Information is used for common site operations, including analytics, conversion tracking, and responding to contact requests. The site may use collected data to understand which pages attract attention, to measure the performance of advertising and affiliate referrals, and to follow up on questions submitted through the contact form.
Some customer reviews describe the site as easier to navigate when analytics helps identify broken paths or underperforming pages, though results vary based on traffic patterns and user behavior. Information may also be used to maintain security, prevent misuse, and support debugging or technical troubleshooting.
Third Parties
HearWise works with third parties that may receive or process limited information on the site’s behalf or through referral activity. These third parties may include:
- Google Ads, for ad measurement and conversion tracking.
- Microsoft Ads, for ad measurement and conversion tracking.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may track referral clicks and commissions.
- The hosting provider used to make the site available online.
- The email provider used to route and receive messages sent to the contact address.
Each third party has its own privacy practices, and the way data is handled may vary based on its policies and technical settings. HearWise does not control those external practices and encourages visitors to review the privacy notices of any service they interact with.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
HearWise uses cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functional, to remember preferences where applicable, and to support analytics and advertising measurement. These tools may help recognize a returning browser, attribute clicks, and understand whether a visit resulted in a downstream action on a partner site.
Visitors may be able to block or delete cookies through browser controls or device settings. Doing so can limit certain features or make measurement less accurate. Some technologies may continue to operate through local storage, pixels, or similar methods, subject to the settings available on the visitor’s device and browser.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws such as GDPR or CCPA may provide rights to access, delete, or correct certain personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising or certain sharing practices. Available rights can depend on the type of data involved and whether an exception applies.
Visitors may also be able to limit cookie use through browser settings or ad-preference tools offered by certain platforms. Many customer experiences describe these controls as useful, though results vary based on the platforms involved and the device in use. Requests are handled in line with applicable law, and additional verification may be needed before a request can be completed.
Data Retention
HearWise retains information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including site operations, recordkeeping, compliance, security, and dispute resolution. Retention periods may vary depending on the category of data, the needs of the business, and legal obligations that apply.
When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymized, or archived in a form that does not reasonably identify a visitor. Some logs or backup systems may persist for a limited period before they are rotated or removed, and individual experiences may differ based on system design.

For privacy questions or requests to access or delete information, visitors may contact the site by email at support@offerpulse.net. The message should include enough detail to identify the request and the data involved.
