At ThreeBestRated®, we respect and protect the privacy of every individual who shares ThreeBestRated® their experience through a review on our website. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard reviewer information in accordance with applicable U.S. privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other relevant state laws.

When you submit a review, your feedback may be published on our website under your name to help other users make informed decisions. You may also choose to post your review without showcasing your personal details; in that case, your name or any personally identifying information will not appear publicly, though your review content may still be visible to help others.

We may occasionally share your review with the business being reviewed to help them understand and respond to customer feedback. Unless you have expressly authorized otherwise, all personal identifiers will be removed before sharing.

Reviewer contact information is retained only for verification or dispute-resolution purposes and is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing or promotional use.

You have the right to request access to your submitted review or related personal information, ask for corrections or deletion, and withdraw consent for publication at any time by contacting us through our designated contact form or email.

We strive to uphold a reliable and transparent review system that accurately reflects real customer experiences. Every review submitted to our platform undergoes a verification process to ensure it meets our authenticity and content standards. Reviews may be moderated before or after publication to confirm compliance with our guidelines. Content may be edited, filtered, or removed if it includes inaccurate, misleading, or defamatory statements; personal or sensitive details unrelated to the service; language that is offensive, threatening, or discriminatory; promotional or duplicate material; spam; or content unrelated to an actual customer interaction.

Our moderation standards are designed to provide balanced visibility to both positive and negative feedback. Businesses are prohibited from editing, suppressing, or manipulating customer reviews. However, verified business owners may share professional responses to address feedback or resolve concerns. We continuously refine our moderation policies to ensure clarity, fairness, and adherence to U.S. consumer protection and advertising regulations—helping maintain confidence that each review represents an authentic, verified customer experience.

The Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) form the foundation of U.S. privacy law. To comply with these principles, in the event of a data breach, we will notify users via on-site notification within 7 business days.

We also adhere to the Individual Redress Principle, which ensures individuals can pursue enforceable rights against data processors that fail to comply with the law.
