Comparizone publishes personal finance articles and affiliate content for readers in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, and other English-speaking markets. This Privacy Policy explains how limited personal data may be processed when you visit the site, contact us, or click affiliate links.
Controller and contact
For privacy questions, data rights requests, or correction requests, contact contact@comparizone.co.uk. Comparizone is the controller for data it directly collects through this website, such as server logs, contact messages, and site analytics where enabled.
Information we may process
Data may include IP address, browser and device information, approximate location inferred from technical data, pages visited, referral URLs, cookie identifiers, affiliate click identifiers, contact email content, and server security logs.
Purposes and lawful bases
We process data to operate the website, secure the service, understand article performance, respond to messages, maintain affiliate attribution, prevent abuse, and improve content structure. Depending on the context, lawful bases may include legitimate interests, consent for optional cookies where required, legal obligation, or steps requested by you before responding to an enquiry.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site may use cookies, pixels, local storage, analytics tags, affiliate tracking links, and server logs. You can control cookies through your browser. Some affiliate links may place cookies or tracking identifiers on third-party websites after you leave Comparizone.
Affiliate links and third parties
Affiliate partners, analytics providers, hosting providers, email providers, and security services may process data as independent controllers or processors. Third-party websites have their own privacy notices, terms, retention practices, and opt-out controls.
Sharing and international transfers
Data may be processed by providers in the UK, EEA, United States, or other locations. Where required, safeguards such as contractual terms, standard contractual clauses, or provider security commitments may be used.
Retention
Server logs are kept for operational and security needs. Contact messages are kept long enough to respond and maintain a reasonable record. Analytics and affiliate data retention depends on the relevant provider and reporting need.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to processing, request portability, withdraw consent, or complain to a supervisory authority. UK readers can contact the Information Commissioner's Office. EEA readers can contact their local data protection authority.
Children and security
This site is intended for general adult readers and is not directed at children. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the site, but no website can guarantee absolute security.
Updates
This policy may be updated when site features, providers, laws, or affiliate arrangements change. The date on this page shows the current version.
