Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 19, 2026

TVDuel is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

1. Introduction

TVDuel (operating at tvduel.com) is a TV comparison website that helps consumers find the best value TVs using price-per-inch metrics. We are committed to transparency about how we collect and use data, and to protecting your privacy.

By using our website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies, please do not use our site.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in three main categories: automated analytics data, cookie-based tracking, and affiliate link interactions.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit TVDuel, we automatically collect certain information through server logs and analytics services, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website
  • General location (city/country level, not precise GPS)

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze site usage, and support our affiliate tracking. For more details, see the "Cookies and Tracking" section below.

Affiliate Link Interactions

TVDuel contains affiliate links to retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and others. When you click on an affiliate link, the retailer may set cookies and collect information about your visit and subsequent purchases for commission tracking. We do not control these third-party cookies.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Improve our website: Understand how visitors use TVDuel to enhance user experience and fix issues.
  • Analytics and reporting: Use Google Analytics to aggregate traffic patterns, popular pages, and site performance.
  • Affiliate commissions: Track clicks to retailer sites to support our business model at no cost to you.
  • Legal compliance: Protect our rights, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable laws.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not create user profiles to target advertising. We do not use your data for any purpose other than those stated above.

4. Cookies and Tracking

TVDuel uses cookies and tracking technologies to enable functionality and gather insights. We use two main categories:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They include:

  • Session management for basic site functionality
  • Security tokens to protect against malicious activity

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. Google Analytics collects aggregated, anonymized data about:

  • Pages visited and navigation paths
  • Time spent on site
  • Device and browser information
  • General geographic location (city/country level)

Google Analytics uses cookies that do not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Tracking

Our affiliate links use cookies set by retailers (e.g., Amazon Associates, LinkShare) to track clicks and resulting purchases. These cookies are set by the retailer's domain, not by TVDuel. When you click an affiliate link, you will be redirected to the retailer's site, and that retailer may set its own cookies for tracking purposes.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

Important: TVDuel participates in affiliate marketing programs with retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and others. If you click on a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

This affiliate income supports the ongoing operation of our website, including data acquisition, hosting costs, and development. It allows us to keep our comparison tool free for all users.

Our stance: Affiliate relationships do not influence our rankings, recommendations, or editorial content. We present data objectively based on price-per-inch metrics and product specifications. Our goal is to help you find the best value TV, regardless of commission rates.

7. Data Security

TVDuel takes reasonable measures to protect your information:

  • HTTPS encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS.
  • Secure hosting: Our site is hosted on Vercel with built-in security features and automatic HTTPS.
  • Limited access: Access to analytics data is restricted to essential personnel only.
  • No sensitive data stored: We do not collect or store personally identifiable information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, or payment details.
  • Third-party compliance: We rely on reputable providers (Google Analytics, Supabase) that maintain their own security standards.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we regularly review our practices to ensure data protection.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. TVDuel respects the following rights under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and similar regulations:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. Since we collect minimal personal data (primarily anonymous analytics), this will typically be limited to aggregated IP addresses and usage data retained by Google Analytics.

Right to Deletion

You can request deletion of your personal data from our systems. Note that our use of Google Analytics means some data may persist in their systems unless you also use Google's deletion tools.

Right to Opt Out

You can opt out of Google Analytics using their browser add-on. You can also disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To make a data access or deletion request, contact us at privacy@tvduel.com. Please allow up to 30 days for us to respond and process your request. We may require verification of your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and consider additional notification methods such as:

  • Placing a conspicuous notice on our website
  • Sending an email notification (if we have your contact information)

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices. Your continued use of TVDuel after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact Information

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us:
