Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how FCP10 (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website at https://fcp10.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Amazon Associates Program & Affiliate Disclosure
FCP10 is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated websites. When you click on links to Amazon and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
These affiliate commissions help support our website and allow us to continue providing product reviews and recommendations. However, our reviews and opinions remain independent and are not influenced by potential commissions. We only recommend products we believe will provide value to our readers.
When you use our affiliate links, Amazon may set cookies on your device to track the transaction. Please refer to Amazon’s Privacy Policy for information about how they handle your data.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://fcp10.com. We are a product review blog dedicated to providing honest, in-depth reviews of products available on Amazon to help you make informed purchasing decisions.
Information We Collect
We collect several types of information from and about users of our website:
Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and information about how you interact with our website. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, and gather demographic information.
Information You Provide: If you leave comments or contact us through our website, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and comment content.
Comments
When you leave comments on our product reviews or articles, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection and security.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to display your profile picture. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture and comment will be publicly visible.

Third-Party Services and Embedded Content
Our website may include embedded content from other websites, such as YouTube videos, social media posts, product images from Amazon, or other embedded articles. These embedded elements behave exactly as if you visited the third-party website directly.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this policy.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through automated spam detection services. These services may process your data on servers located in various countries.
