Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 13, 2026
Last updated: July 13, 2026

CastPilot.org (“CastPilot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit CastPilot.org, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

CastPilot.org is an independent product-review and affiliate website. It is not owned, operated, or controlled by CastAI.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We May Collect

The information collected depends on how you interact with CastPilot.org.

Information You Provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when you:

  • Email us
  • Submit a contact form
  • Report incorrect information
  • Request a correction or removal
  • Send a copyright or trademark notice
  • Contact us about advertising or partnerships

This information may include:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Company or organization
  • Message contents
  • Files or screenshots you attach
  • Any other information you choose to provide

Please do not send passwords, complete payment-card numbers, account credentials, or other unnecessary sensitive information.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, our hosting provider, security services, analytics tools, or other technical systems may automatically collect information such as:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser and device type
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Pages viewed
  • Approximate geographic location
  • Date and time of access
  • Time spent on a page
  • Links or buttons selected
  • Error, performance, and security logs
  • Cookie or similar device identifiers

This information helps operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

CastPilot.org may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies.

A cookie is a small file placed on a browser or device. Cookies can help a website remember preferences, understand traffic, maintain security, and measure interactions. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s cookie information provides a general explanation of how cookies can recognize a device during future visits.

We may use the following categories of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These support basic website functions, security, fraud prevention, page delivery, and preference management. Disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies may help us understand which pages visitors view, how long they remain on the website, which devices they use, and how they arrived at CastPilot.org.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential analytics cookies should only be activated after consent.

Affiliate Cookies

Some links on CastPilot.org may be affiliate links. When you select one of these links, the destination website or affiliate network may place a cookie or use another tracking method to attribute a later purchase.

Affiliate tracking may record information such as:

  • The affiliate link selected
  • Date and time of the referral
  • Referral identifier
  • Whether a qualifying purchase occurred

We may earn a commission if you purchase through an affiliate link. This generally does not increase the price you pay.

Advertising Cookies

If advertising services are used, their providers may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure ad performance, limit repeated advertisements, or personalize advertising, subject to applicable consent requirements.

3. Managing Cookies

You can usually block, restrict, or remove cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect certain website functions.

If CastPilot.org displays a cookie-consent tool, you may also use that tool to manage non-essential cookies. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

Browser-level privacy signals, including Global Privacy Control, may be honored where technically supported and legally required.

4. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

  • Operate and maintain CastPilot.org
  • Respond to messages and enquiries
  • Correct inaccurate or outdated content
  • Diagnose website errors
  • Protect against spam, abuse, fraud, and security threats
  • Understand website traffic and visitor behavior
  • Improve articles, navigation, and website performance
  • Measure affiliate-link activity
  • Maintain records of communications
  • Protect legal rights
  • Meet applicable legal obligations
  • Investigate copyright, trademark, or policy complaints

We do not use information supplied through ordinary contact messages to access CastAI accounts or purchases. CastPilot.org cannot access customer accounts operated by CastAI, JVZoo, payment processors, or other third parties.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation or similar legislation applies, personal information may be processed under one or more of these legal bases:

  • Consent: You have agreed to a particular use, such as optional analytics cookies.
  • Legitimate interests: Processing is reasonably necessary to operate, secure, analyze, or improve the website, provided those interests do not override your rights.
  • Contractual necessity: Processing is needed to take steps you requested or perform an agreement.
  • Legal obligation: Processing is required to meet an applicable legal duty.
  • Legal claims: Information is needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

You may withdraw consent at any time when consent is the applicable legal basis.

6. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Websites

CastPilot.org contains links to external websites, including product vendors, affiliate networks, checkout providers, video platforms, and other resources.

When you leave CastPilot.org, the destination website may collect information under its own privacy policy. We do not control the cookies, security, content, or data-handling practices of third-party websites.

External services may include:

  • CastAI product and sales pages
  • JVZoo or another affiliate network
  • Checkout and payment providers
  • Embedded video platforms
  • Analytics or performance providers
  • Website hosting and security services

Review the destination website’s privacy policy before providing personal or payment information.

7. Affiliate Disclosure and Tracking

CastPilot.org may receive compensation when visitors select certain links or purchase recommended products.

Affiliate networks may use referral identifiers, cookies, server-to-server tracking, or similar technologies to determine whether a commission should be credited.

CastPilot.org does not normally receive your complete payment-card details from an affiliate purchase. Payments are handled by the vendor, marketplace, or payment processor according to its own policies.

8. How Information May Be Shared

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website, including providers of:

  • Website hosting
  • Content delivery
  • Security and spam prevention
  • Analytics
  • Email delivery
  • Website forms
  • Affiliate tracking
  • Technical support
  • Data storage

These providers may process information only as necessary to perform their services, subject to their contractual and legal obligations.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with a law, regulation, court order, or lawful request
  • Investigate suspected fraud or abuse
  • Enforce website policies
  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of CastPilot.org or others
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
  • Complete a merger, sale, restructuring, or transfer of website assets

We do not knowingly sell personal information for direct monetary payment. However, some advertising, analytics, or affiliate-tracking activities may be treated as “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a “sale” under certain privacy laws.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Retention periods may depend on:

  • The nature of the information
  • Why it was collected
  • Whether a request remains unresolved
  • Security and fraud-prevention needs
  • Legal, accounting, or reporting obligations
  • The need to establish or defend legal claims

Contact emails may be retained while an enquiry is active and for a reasonable period afterward. Security and server logs may be retained for shorter operational periods unless longer retention is necessary to investigate abuse or meet legal obligations.

Information may remain temporarily in secure backups after deletion from active systems.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, email system, storage service, or internet transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. You provide information at your own risk and should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information by email.

11. International Data Transfers

CastPilot.org and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live.

Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, reasonable safeguards may be used for international transfers, such as approved contractual protections or transfers to jurisdictions recognized as providing adequate protection.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Your rights depend on your location and the laws that apply.

Subject to applicable exceptions, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion
  • Request restriction of processing
  • Object to certain processing
  • Withdraw consent
  • Request data portability
  • Opt out of certain targeted advertising or data sharing
  • Receive information about categories of data collected or disclosed
  • Appeal a decision concerning a privacy request
  • Make a complaint to a privacy regulator

The European Commission describes GDPR rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection in its official information for individuals.

California privacy rules address consumer notices, verified requests, and rights under the CCPA. Further information is available from the California Attorney General.

To submit a request, email support@castpilot.org with the subject line “Privacy Request.”

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will only request information reasonably necessary for verification. Authorized agents may be required to provide evidence of their authority.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

13. California Privacy Notice

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to our activities, eligible California residents may have rights concerning:

  • The categories of personal information collected
  • Sources of personal information
  • Business or commercial purposes for collection
  • Categories of third parties receiving information
  • Access to specific personal information
  • Correction or deletion
  • Opting out of sales or sharing
  • Limiting certain uses of sensitive personal information
  • Protection from discriminatory treatment

CastPilot.org does not knowingly collect sensitive personal information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about visitors.

To make an applicable request, contact support@castpilot.org.

14. Children’s Privacy

CastPilot.org is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website, contact us so that we can investigate and delete it where appropriate.

Residents of regions with a higher age threshold should only use the website or provide consent in accordance with local law.

15. Email Communications

If you email us, we will use your address and message to respond and manage the enquiry.

We do not intend to subscribe you to marketing messages merely because you contacted support. If an optional newsletter or marketing list is introduced, it should provide a separate sign-up process and an unsubscribe method.

16. Embedded Content

Articles may include embedded videos, images, widgets, or other content from external services.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the external provider directly. The provider may collect device information, set cookies, measure interactions, or connect activity to an existing account when you are signed in to that service.

17. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. Because no single response standard applies universally, CastPilot.org may not respond to every Do Not Track signal.

Where applicable law requires recognition of an opt-out preference signal, we will make reasonable efforts to honor supported signals.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when website practices, services, or legal requirements change.

The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through a prominent website notice where appropriate.

Continued use of CastPilot.org after an update means the revised policy applies to subsequent website activity.
