Last updated: August 28, 2026 • Top Tech Reveal Editorial Desk

Top Tech Reveal (“TTR”, “we”, “our”) is an independent consumer technology publication dedicated to smart home hardware, AI devices, robotics, and emerging technology discovery. This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled when you access our website (https://www.toptechreveal.com/), submit inquiries through our contact channels, or post comments on our published articles.

We receive personal information directly from you when you choose to communicate with our editorial team or participate in article discussions:

• Editorial & Contact Inquiries: When you use our Contact Form or email us directly, we receive the name, email address, topic, and message content you submit. Contact-form messages are routed to our editorial mailbox using Zoho Mail and are used to evaluate and reply to your inquiry.
• Article Comments: When you submit a comment on a published article, WordPress receives the name or pseudonym you provide, your email address, your optional website URL, and your comment text. Upon editorial moderation, your name, website, and comment content are published publicly on the article page. Your email address is stored for administrative moderation and is not published on the page.
• User Accounts: Public visitor registration is currently disabled. We do not maintain public user accounts or member login portals.

When you access Top Tech Reveal, standard technical interaction data may be processed:

• Server & Hosting Logs: Our hosting infrastructure may process standard request information such as IP address, requested URL, timestamp, HTTP status, and browser user-agent information for content delivery, security monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Commenter Technical Metadata: When you submit an article comment, standard WordPress functionality records your IP address and browser User-Agent in the site database to assist with spam filtering and moderation.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser:

• Optional Comment Cookies (comment_author_*): If you post a comment and select the convenience checkbox (“Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment”), WordPress sets first-party cookies to remember your details. If you do not select that box, these cookies are not set.
• Managing Cookies: You can configure your browser to reject cookies or delete existing cookies. Browsing published articles on Top Tech Reveal does not require accepting non-essential cookies.

Top Tech Reveal utilizes selected technical services to support publication delivery:

• Google Fonts (Google LLC): We load technical web fonts from fonts.googleapis.com. When fonts are requested, your browser transmits standard HTTP connection headers (including IP address) to Google’s font delivery network.
• Gravatar (Automattic Inc.): If you submit an article comment, a hash derived from your email address may be used to check for an associated public Gravatar profile, and your browser may request avatar images from secure.gravatar.com when avatars are displayed.
• Zoho Mail (Zoho Corporation): Contact-form messages are routed to our editorial mailbox using Zoho Mail.
• Advertising & Retargeting: We do not currently use programmatic advertising or retargeting pixels.

We process information for editorial and publication purposes:

• Editorial Operations: Responding to reader messages, evaluating hardware review sample proposals, handling press inquiries, and correcting verified factual errors.
• Community Engagement: Moderating and publishing reader comments.
• Security & Maintenance: Monitoring site performance, preventing automated spam, and addressing technical faults.
• No Sale of Personal Data: Top Tech Reveal does not sell, rent, or trade personal data to third-party data brokers or marketing firms.

We retain personal and communication records only for periods appropriate to their purpose:

• Contact Inquiries: Retained in our editorial mailbox for the duration needed to resolve your inquiry and maintain correspondence context.
• Article Comments: Approved comments may remain stored and publicly displayed while the related article and discussion remain published, unless they are removed or another retention requirement applies.
• Server Logs: Retention of hosting and server-log information depends on our hosting and operational configuration. We do not state a fixed retention period here because it may vary.

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may give you rights concerning personal information associated with you, such as requesting access, correction, or deletion. To request comment removal or submit a privacy inquiry, visit our Data Deletion Request page or email us at [email protected].

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technical changes or evolving editorial practices. Revisions are published directly on this page with an updated “Last updated” timestamp.
