Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026This Hibbly privacy policy explains how thehibbly.us collects, uses and protects information from visitors to this independent review site. It covers this website only - it does not cover the privacy practices of Hibbly or any other third-party dating platform you may visit after clicking a link from this site. Once you leave thehibbly.us, the destination platform's own privacy policy governs your data.
What This Policy Covers
Introduction & Scope
Hibbly Review, published at thehibbly.us, is an independent editorial site that reviews the Hibbly dating platform for a US audience. This policy describes what information we collect when you browse this site, take the on-page quiz, or click through to Hibbly's own sign-up flow. It applies only to data handled by thehibbly.us. We are not the operator of the Hibbly application itself, and we do not control or store the account data you create after you leave this site.
By continuing to use this website, you acknowledge the practices described below. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the site.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We collect a limited amount of information you choose to enter directly on the site:
- Quiz inputs - the age range, intention selection and zip code you enter in the on-page match quiz, used only to generate an illustrative on-screen estimate.
- Contact messages - if you email us, we retain your address and message content to respond to your inquiry.
Automatically Collected Data
Like most websites, our server and analytics tools automatically log certain technical data whenever you visit:
- IP address, approximate geographic region and browser type, used for basic security and audience analytics.
- Device type, screen size and operating system, used to keep the mobile layout working correctly.
- Pages viewed, time on page and referring URL, used to understand which content is useful.
Cookies & Pixel Data
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember basic preferences, measure site performance and attribute outbound referrals to our affiliate partners. Full detail on each cookie category appears in our Cookie Policy.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
- Operating, maintaining and improving the functionality and content of thehibbly.us.
- Measuring which sections, images and calls to action perform best, so we can keep the review useful.
- Attributing a referral to the correct affiliate partner when you click through to Hibbly, so commission tracking works correctly.
- Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, bot traffic and security incidents.
- Meeting our legal and regulatory recordkeeping obligations.
We do not sell your personal data for money. We do not use your quiz answers or contact messages for any purpose beyond the ones listed above.
Third-Party Affiliate Links & Tracking Disclosure
Every "See Matches Now" style button on this site is an affiliate link. Clicking one routes you through a short internal bridge page and then to Hibbly's sign-up flow through an affiliate network's tracking system. This routing allows the network to record that your visit originated from thehibbly.us, so that we may earn a commission if you create an account - at no extra cost to you.
That process may pass a click identifier, a timestamp and a referral source parameter to the affiliate network and to Hibbly. We do not attach your name, email or quiz answers to that identifier. Once you land on Hibbly's own site or app, any further data collection - account details, photos, messages, payment information - is governed entirely by Hibbly's own privacy policy, not this one. We encourage you to review the destination platform's policy before creating an account. This disclosure is provided in line with FTC guidance on affiliate marketing transparency, and it is also referenced in our Terms & Conditions.
Data Sharing & Affiliate Network Partners
We share limited categories of data with the following types of recipients, and with no one else:
- Analytics providers - aggregate traffic and engagement metrics used to understand site performance.
- Affiliate networks - click and referral identifiers needed to attribute a sign-up back to this site for commission purposes.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers - the technical vendors that keep thehibbly.us online and secure.
- Legal and regulatory bodies - only when required by valid legal process, such as a subpoena or court order.
We do not share your contact messages or quiz inputs with advertisers.
Data Security Measures
We use industry-standard safeguards to protect the data described in this policy, including encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS) for all traffic to and from this site, restricted internal access to any stored contact messages, and retention periods limited to what is reasonably necessary for the purposes above. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe your interaction with this site is no longer secure, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy.
Your Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), give you the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, request deletion of that information, request correction of inaccurate information, and opt out of the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. We do not knowingly sell personal information for monetary payment.
Residents of other US states may have similar rights under applicable state privacy laws. To submit any of these requests, email us at the address in the final section of this policy with the subject line "Privacy Request." We may need to verify your identity before processing a request, using information such as your email address associated with any prior correspondence. We aim to acknowledge verified requests within 45 days, consistent with typical statutory response windows, and will inform you if additional time is required.
You may also opt out of non-essential cookies at any time using the browser controls described in our Cookie Policy.
Children's Privacy
thehibbly.us is intended strictly for adults aged 18 and older, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and remove it.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use essential, analytics and affiliate-attribution cookies to run this site and to track referrals to Hibbly. This summary is intentionally brief - for a full breakdown of every cookie category, retention period and browser opt-out instructions, see our dedicated Cookie Policy, which should be read alongside this Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy & Contact Information
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Any update will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date at the top.
