1. Introduction & Scope
This Hibbly Review privacy policy applies to all pages on hib-bly.org, including this homepage review, our quiz widget and our footer legal pages. hib-bly.org is operated as an independent affiliate review publication for a United States audience and is not affiliated with, and does not operate, the Hibbly dating application itself.
By browsing this site or using the interactive quiz, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site. This policy does not cover the privacy practices of Hibbly or any other third-party platform you may register with after clicking a link from this site — those services maintain their own separate privacy policies.
2. Information We Collect
We collect limited categories of information necessary to operate this review site and measure its performance. We do not collect dating profile content, photos submitted to third-party platforms, or private messages, because those interactions occur off this site.
- Technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type and approximate location, collected automatically via standard web server logs.
- Usage data such as pages viewed, time on page, scroll depth, quiz answers (age range, stated intent, zip code) and outbound click events.
- Voluntary information you choose to submit if you contact us directly, such as your name and email address.
- Cookie and similar tracking identifiers, described further in Section 4 below.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the information described above to operate, maintain and improve hib-bly.org, and to understand how readers interact with our review content and quiz widget. Typical uses include diagnosing technical issues, measuring which sections of the review readers find useful, and attributing referral traffic sent to third-party partners through our affiliate links.
- Operating and securing the website and its interactive features.
- Analyzing aggregate traffic and engagement trends to improve content accuracy and usability.
- Tracking outbound referral clicks for affiliate commission attribution, as described in Section 5.
- Responding to inquiries sent through our contact channel.
We do not sell the substance of your quiz answers to data brokers, and we do not use this information to build a dating profile on your behalf.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember preferences and measure traffic. hib-bly.org uses first-party and third-party cookies, local storage and similar tracking technologies to remember your progress through the quiz widget, measure page performance, and record which affiliate link referred a visitor to a partner site.
- Essential cookies required for basic site functionality and the quiz widget to work correctly.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand aggregate visitor behavior.
- Affiliate tracking identifiers appended to outbound links, used solely to attribute a referral to hib-bly.org.
Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings menu. Disabling cookies may limit some interactive features, such as the quiz results screen, but will not block your ability to read the review.
5. Third-Party Affiliate Links & Data Sharing
This site contains affiliate links, including the "See Matches Now" and similar buttons throughout the review, which route to a registration gateway and then to a third-party partner. When you click one of these buttons, limited technical and referral data (such as a click timestamp and an anonymized tracking identifier) is shared with our affiliate partner so that any resulting sign-up can be attributed to hib-bly.org for commission purposes.
We do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices of the third-party platform you land on after clicking an affiliate link. We encourage you to review that platform's own privacy policy before creating an account or submitting personal information. We may also work with analytics and hosting vendors who process technical data on our behalf under confidentiality obligations.
6. FTC Affiliate Disclosure
hib-bly.org is a paid affiliate publisher. We earn a commission when a reader creates an account with our partner platform through a link or button on this site. This compensation relationship is disclosed here, in the disclosure banner below the homepage hero, and in our footer, consistent with the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guidelines and the deceptive-advertising standard set out in Section 5 of the FTC Act.
Compensation never influences the substance of our review, our 4.7/5.0 editorial score, or the ranking of any pros-and-cons point on this site. Our testing, scoring methodology and written conclusions are produced independently of any affiliate relationship, and testimonials referenced on this site are identified as illustrative editorial examples rather than paid endorsements.
7. Your Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). Depending on your state of residence, you may have similar rights under other US state privacy laws.
- The right to know what categories of personal information we have collected about you.
- The right to request deletion of personal information we hold, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information; hib-bly.org does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, and affiliate referral tracking is limited to attribution data.
- The right to non-discrimination for exercising any of the above rights.
To exercise these rights, contact us using the details in Section 11. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
8. Data Security Measures
We apply reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through this site, including transport encryption (HTTPS), access controls on our hosting environment, and limiting data collection to what is necessary for the purposes described above. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to this site.
If you believe your information has been exposed through a security incident involving hib-bly.org, please contact us promptly using the details in Section 11 so we can investigate.
9. Children's Privacy
hib-bly.org is intended solely for adults aged 18 and older, consistent with the age requirement of the dating platform this site reviews. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will take reasonable steps to delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has submitted information to this site should contact us using the details in Section 11.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or the features offered on hib-bly.org. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
11. Contact Information
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise a privacy right described in Section 7, or have any other privacy-related concern, please contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond to legitimate inquiries within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable law.
