Privacy & disclosures

Who we are

This website is run by Adrian and Mosie, the creators of The Hills Review. You can reach us at our contact page.

Information you send us

If you use the contact form, we receive what you type into it: your name, company, email address, the type of inquiry, your project description and, if you choose to share them, your budget and timeline. We use this only to reply to you and to work with you if a project goes ahead. We don’t sell it, and we don’t add you to a mailing list.

Form messages are processed by our website host’s form service and delivered to our email inbox. To have your message deleted, email us and we’ll remove it.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not use advertising trackers or analytics cookies. If that changes, we will update this page first.

Content loaded from other services

• YouTube. Video thumbnails are loaded from YouTube. A video player only loads when you press play, using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. Once you press play, YouTube (Google) may collect information under its own privacy policy.
• Google Fonts. Our typefaces are delivered by Google Fonts, which receives your IP address in order to send the font files.
• Links to other sites. Our social profiles, the stores we link to and other outside websites have their own privacy policies.

Affiliate links

Some links on our Shop Our Picks page and in our reviews are affiliate links. If you buy something through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are labeled where they appear. We only recommend things we have actually tried, and a commission never changes our rating.

Sponsored content and our ratings

We publish three kinds of content, and we don’t blur them:

• Independent reviews. We chose it and paid for it ourselves, or it was free to everyone.
• Sponsored reviews. A brand paid, gifted or hosted us. These are always disclosed on screen and in the caption. The score stays ours and is never guaranteed.
• UGC production. Content we make for a brand’s own channels under a brief. It is promotional and is never presented as an independent Hills review.

Brands can buy our time, access and distribution. They cannot buy a rating.

Children

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we change how this site works, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
