Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how WearableBeat ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website. WearableBeat is owned and operated by A3YD Studios, based in London, United Kingdom. We are committed to respecting your privacy and being transparent about the data practices associated with our site.

Information We Collect

When you visit WearableBeat, we may collect certain information to help us operate the site, improve our content, and understand how our audience engages with our coverage.

Information you provide directly. If you contact us by email – for example, to ask a question about a review, suggest a topic, or report a correction – we receive the information you include in your message, such as your name and email address. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry and do not add it to any marketing lists.

Technical information collected automatically. When you browse our site, our servers and third-party services may automatically collect certain technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information helps us maintain site security, diagnose technical issues, and understand aggregate traffic patterns. We do not use this data to personally identify individual visitors.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

  • Responding to messages, questions, and correction reports you send us
  • Operating and maintaining the website, including ensuring security and performance
  • Analysing aggregate site usage to understand which content resonates with our audience and where we can improve
  • Supporting the delivery and measurement of advertising, as described in the Advertising section below

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember preferences, measure performance, and support various site functions. WearableBeat and our third-party partners use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes.

Essential cookies are necessary for basic site functionality, such as maintaining security and enabling page navigation. These cookies do not collect personal information used for marketing.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site by collecting information about pages visited, time spent on the site, and navigation patterns. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you. We use it to improve our content and user experience.

Advertising cookies are placed by our advertising partners to deliver relevant advertisements, limit how often you see a particular ad, and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These cookies may collect information about your browsing activity across different websites over time. For more detail on advertising, see the section below.

Managing cookies. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, block only third-party cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality. You can also manage your advertising preferences through our consent tool, described below.

Advertising

WearableBeat works with advertising partners, including Google, to display relevant advertisements on our site. These partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity in order to serve ads that are more relevant to your interests, limit how frequently you see a specific advertisement, and measure the performance of advertising campaigns.

We use a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that is certified under the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF). This system provides you with clear information about all the advertising partners we work with, the specific purposes for which they may process your data, and the legal basis for that processing. When you first visit WearableBeat, the CMP will present you with choices about which partners and purposes you consent to.

You are always in control. You can give or withdraw your consent for data processing at any time. You can review or change your privacy settings at any point using the link below.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services for analytics and advertising as described in this policy. These services operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. Our use of these services is governed by our agreements with each provider, but we cannot control how they process data on their own platforms.

Data Retention

We retain technical log data and analytics information in aggregate form for as long as it is useful for the purposes described in this policy. If you contact us by email, we retain your correspondence for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for our records. We do not maintain databases of visitor personal information beyond what is described here.

Children's Privacy

WearableBeat is not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
