Our Retention Policy
1. To modify a review on AllReviews, you must have a user account. We treat reviews as user-generated content that belongs to the author. Authors can edit or delete their reviews permanently if they wish. Unfortunately, users without an account cannot change their reviews. If you need a review deleted later, please contact us.
2. We are transparent about the duration for which we retain your reviews on our platform. Our users have the right to know how long their contributions will be available to others.
3. We comply with privacy and data protection standards to safeguard our users' information, including reviews. These should be securely stored and managed throughout their retention period.
Why a Retention Period is Important
Reviews are crucial in decision-making processes, be it for purchasing a product or using a service. By maintaining reviews for an appropriate time, we strive to provide users with relevant and up-to-date information, aiding them in making informed choices.
Retaining reviews while the user account is active benefits the community by offering a repository of user experiences that assist consumers in making informed choices. Additionally, allowing users to manage their reviews and accounts upholds the principles of user autonomy and privacy.
This extended retention policy ensures that users have full control over their contributions and can effectively manage their privacy while engaging in the AllReviews community. If you have any questions about your reviews or account or need help managing your content, our support team is always ready to assist.
Ownership of Reviews
Reviews posted on AllReviews are regarded as user-generated content. Hence, they belong to the author of the review. When you create a review on AllReviews, it is linked to your user account. This ownership allows you to manage your content directly, enabling you to edit or delete your reviews at any time.
How Long Reviews Are Retained:
While Account Is Active: Reviews are stored on AllReviews as long as your user account is active. This ensures that your insights and contributions remain accessible to other users, offering valuable information and feedback about businesses.
Active Deletion: If you decide to delete a review, it is removed immediately from the platform, giving you control over your digital footprint and what information remains publicly available.
Impact of Account Deletion
Automatic Review Deletion: Deleting your AllReviews account triggers the automatic deletion of all associated reviews. This supports our commitment to user privacy and data control. When you decide to remove your presence from AllReviews.nz, we ensure that all your contributions are permanently erased.
Privacy Policy Alignment: The deletion of reviews upon account termination aligns with our privacy policy section "How long do we store your personal data?". This policy explains how we handle user data and outlines users' rights regarding their personal information.
