# Privacy for your website visitors

The review widget is built to be **invisible to privacy law**, because it collects nothing.

## What the widget does not do

- It sets **no cookies**.
- It uses **no local storage** or similar browser storage.
- It does **not track** visitors, record clicks or build profiles.
- It does not load advertising or analytics code.

## What that means for you

- **No change to your cookie banner.** The widget needs no consent.
- **GDPR and UK GDPR (Europe and the UK):** the widget stores nothing on your visitors' devices, so it needs no cookie consent, and it collects no personal data from them for you to declare.
- **DPDP Act (India):** adding the widget creates no new personal-data obligations for you, because it collects no personal data from your visitors.
- **US state privacy laws (such as the CCPA):** nothing is sold or shared, and there is no tracking to opt out of.
- Visitors who click a reviewer's name or **Write a review** go to Google, where Google's own privacy policy applies.

## The reviews themselves

Reviews are public posts on Google. The widget shows each reviewer's public name, photo, rating and text as they appear on Google, and links back to Google.
