Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
1. Who We Are
Bounce Arena (www.bouncearenareviews.com) provides independent trampoline reviews and comparisons. For privacy enquiries, use our contact page.
2. Information We Collect
Information you give us
This site does not require registration. If you contact us, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your enquiry.
Information collected automatically
- Server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited, referral URL, and timestamp. Retained up to 30 days by our hosting provider (Vercel) for security and debugging.
- Analytics (Google Analytics 4): Aggregate traffic patterns — pages visited, session duration, country of origin. We use Google Consent Mode v2 with analytics storage set to denied by default. GA4 operates in anonymous/modelable mode: no cookies are set, no user identifiers are collected.
- Geo-routing cookie (
ba_country): A two-letter country code derived from your IP to serve region-appropriate content. Expires after 30 days, markedHttpOnlyandSecure, not shared with third parties. This cookie is strictly necessary for routing and is exempt from consent requirements under ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3).
3. Cookies
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|
| ba_country | Geo-routing — region-appropriate content | 30 days | Strictly necessary |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics — anonymous/modelable traffic analysis only (Consent Mode denied; no user identifiers set) | Not set | Analytics (cookieless mode) |
Google Analytics runs in cookieless mode — no GA cookies are set on your device. You can disable analytics entirely by using a browser extension such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by blocking third-party scripts in your browser settings.
4. Affiliate Links & Third Parties
Some links are affiliate links to retailers (e.g. Springfree, Acon, Vuly, Zupapa). When you click one, the retailer may set their own cookies per their privacy policy. We receive only aggregated commission reports — no personal data. All affiliate links carry rel="nofollow sponsored" and a visible disclosure banner, per FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255).
5. How We Use Your Information
- To deliver and improve the site and its content
- To understand aggregate usage patterns (anonymous analytics, no personal data)
- To respond to contact enquiries
- To serve region-appropriate content (geo-routing)
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
6. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For visitors in the European Economic Area, our legal bases are:
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): server logs, security monitoring, and anonymous analytics (no personal data collected via Consent Mode).
- Strictly necessary / exempt: the geo-routing cookie falls under ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3).
