Last updated June 2026. This page explains how Metro Research (“we”, “us”) handles your information and how we earn revenue. By using metroresearch.org you agree to the practices described here.

Affiliate disclosure. Metro Research is reader-supported. Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you. We only recommend tools we have tested, and affiliate relationships never determine our rankings or verdicts. We comply with the U.S. FTC endorsement guidelines and mark affiliate links with rel="sponsored" where applicable.

Information we collect

We collect information you give us (such as your email when you subscribe, or details you submit through our contact and service forms) and information collected automatically (such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and referring site, via analytics and cookies).

Cookies & advertising

We use cookies to operate the site, measure traffic and improve your experience. We may display advertising, including via Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising via Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party cookies at aboutads.info.

How we use your information

To deliver and improve our content, send our newsletter (if you opted in), respond to enquiries, provide our services, and analyse site performance. We do not sell your personal information.

Analytics

We use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics / Site Kit) to understand how visitors use the site. These may set cookies and collect usage data in aggregated, mostly anonymised form.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, and to opt out of certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our contact page. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email.

Data retention & security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, and take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party links

Our site links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices; please review their policies separately.

Children’s privacy

Our site is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age in your region). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
