Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how ConsumerSun.com, owned and operated by Cloudalien Technologies LLC ("we", "our", or "us"), collects, uses, and protects information about you, and what rights you have over it.
Searching ConsumerSun does not require an account. Recall alerts and My Stuff use an email address so we can send alerts and connect saved products to the right reader.
Information we collect
Information you give us
Contact messages. If you contact us through the site or by email, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit so we can reply.
Recall alerts and newsletter subscriptions. If you subscribe to recall alerts, the weekly Recall Index, or another ConsumerSun email, we collect your first name and email address. Subscriptions use double opt-in, which means the subscription is activated after the confirmation link in the signup email is used.
We use this information only to send the alerts and Index you asked for. Every alert and newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link.
My Stuff watchlists. If you use My Stuff, we collect your email address and the products you save to your watchlist. We use that information only to check your saved products against new recall records and send you relevant alerts.
You can ask us to delete your watchlist and associated email address by writing to us at [email protected] or through the contact page.
No payment information. ConsumerSun does not sell products directly and does not collect payment details.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we record technical information about your visit, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device and screen characteristics, referring page, the pages you view, and the dates and times of those visits.
We use Google Analytics to understand site use and improve ConsumerSun. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies as described below and in Google's own policies.
Cookies and similar technologies
We and our providers use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, understand which pages are read, and, where affiliate programs use them, attribute a purchase or lead that follows a link from this site.
Affiliate attribution cookies are set by the retailer or affiliate network, not directly by us, and are governed by that company's own privacy policy. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Parts of the site may not work as well if you do.
Sensitive information
We do not ask for, and ask that you do not send us, health information about yourself. Reading an article or checking a medication recall does not tell us that you use that medication, and we do not build health profiles of readers.
How we use information
We use information:
- To operate, secure, and improve the site.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To send recall alerts, watchlist alerts, and newsletter emails you requested.
- To check My Stuff watchlists against new recall records.
- To understand which content is useful so we can improve it.
- To attribute affiliate referrals.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
Where the law requires a lawful basis, our bases are our legitimate interests in running and improving the site, your consent where you have given it, performance of the service you requested, and compliance with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined by California law.
Who we share it with
We share information with service providers that act on our instructions and provide services by role, including:
- Website hosting and content delivery providers.
- Google Analytics for site analytics.
- Email delivery providers. ConsumerSun email is sent through Sendy using Amazon SES.
- Security, backup, and technical support providers when needed to operate the site.
Retailers and affiliate networks receive the fact that a visit came from this site when you follow an affiliate link or use an affiliate module. Their handling of information after that point is governed by their own privacy policies.
We also disclose information where we are legally required to do so, or when disclosure is needed to protect our rights, our readers, or the integrity of the service.
How long we keep it
Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with them and for our records, and then deleted.
Subscription information is kept while your subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, we may keep the minimum record needed to honor the unsubscribe request and prevent accidental resending.
Watchlist information is kept while your My Stuff watchlist is active and is deleted when you ask us to delete it, subject to any limited record needed for security or legal compliance.
Technical and analytics records are kept in aggregated or shortened form where practical. Where a provider retains logs on our behalf, they are kept for that provider's standard retention period and then deleted.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, obtain a copy of it, have it corrected, have it deleted, limit how sensitive information is used, opt out of sale or sharing, and not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.
Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom additionally have the right to object to processing, to data portability, and to complain to their data protection authority.
We honor Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of sale and sharing.
To exercise a right, email [email protected] or write through the contact page. We will verify your request against information we already hold before acting on it and respond within the period the applicable law requires. An authorized agent may make a request on your behalf with written permission.
International visitors
The site is operated from the United States and information is processed there. If you are visiting from another country, you are sending information to a jurisdiction whose data protection laws may differ from your own.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be flagged on the site.
