Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how the affiliate-supported review and comparison site Septic Scout, operated by Zidocare Limited, collects, uses, and shares information when visitors browse the site, submit a contact form, or interact with advertising and affiliate links. This policy covers information collected through the website and related communication channels. Because online tracking tools and ad platforms may change over time, the details below describe current practices as accurately as possible, though individual experiences may differ.
Information We Collect
Septic Scout may collect information that visitors provide directly, as well as information captured automatically through site tools and advertising systems. This can include:
- Contact form submissions, such as name, email address, subject, and message content.
- Analytics data, including pages viewed, time on page, clicks, and general site usage patterns.
- Ad-platform click identifiers such as gclid, msclkid, wbraid, and gbraid when a visitor arrives from advertising campaigns.
- Referrer information that shows the page or source that sent the visitor to the site.
- Device, browser, operating system, and approximate location data derived from the device or browser.
- Cookie and similar identifier data used for measuring traffic, conversions, and audience behavior.
Some of this information is collected automatically by analytics tags, advertising pixels, hosting logs, or embedded third-party tools. Depending on browser settings and privacy choices, some identifiers may not be collected or may be partially limited.
How We Use Information
Information collected on the site may be used to operate the website, understand how visitors use content, measure advertising performance, and respond to messages sent through contact forms. In particular, it may be used for:
- Site analytics and content improvement.
- Conversion tracking and campaign attribution.
- Responding to requests for support, corrections, or general inquiries.
- Detecting spam, abuse, or technical issues.
- Maintaining basic security and performance logs.
Any marketing or performance measurement may rely on third-party tools, and results vary based on browser settings, device restrictions, and consent choices where applicable.
Third Parties
Septic Scout may share or make data available to service providers and advertising partners that help the site function or measure performance. These third parties can include:
- Google Ads, for campaign delivery, remarketing, and conversion measurement.
- Microsoft Ads, for advertising and attribution.
- Affiliate networks such as MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, and BuyGoods, which may track referrals and commissions from outbound links.
- The hosting provider, which processes server logs and technical data necessary to keep the site available.
- The email provider, which may process messages sent to support@zidocare.com on behalf of Zidocare Limited.
These third parties have their own privacy policies and data practices. Some may operate outside the user’s country of residence, and their processing may be governed by different legal standards.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
Cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies may be used to remember preferences, measure traffic, and attribute affiliate or advertising interactions. Some cookies are necessary for basic site functionality, while others help with analytics and ad conversion reporting. Visitors may be able to control cookies through browser settings, cookie banners, or platform-specific opt-out tools. If cookies are disabled, some features may not work as intended, and measurement accuracy can be reduced.
Your Rights
Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy laws such as the GDPR or CCPA may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal information. Visitors may also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising or certain sharing activities, subject to applicable law and technical limitations. Requests may require verification before a response is provided. Some rights apply only in specific jurisdictions, and some requests may be limited by legal obligations, security needs, or recordkeeping requirements.

- Request deletion of certain information.
- Opt out of targeted advertising where required by law.
- Object to or restrict some processing activities.

Data Retention
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the site, respond to inquiries, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain business records. Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and whether a legal or contractual requirement applies. Analytics and advertising data may be stored by third-party providers according to their own retention schedules.
