This Privacy Policy explains what information HelpCompare (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects when you visit helpcompare.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Usage data. Like most websites, we automatically collect standard log data (such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent) through analytics and performance tools, including caching and security plugins used to operate this site.

Information you provide. If you contact us or subscribe to updates, we collect the information you submit, such as your name and email address.

Cookies. We use cookies and similar technologies to operate core site features, remember preferences, and understand aggregate site usage.

How we use information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve HelpCompare

  • To understand which comparisons and categories are most useful to readers
  • To detect and prevent security issues and abuse

Affiliate links and third parties

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate or referral links, described in our Affiliate Disclosure. Clicking these links may result in a third-party cookie being set by the destination site, governed by that site’s own privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites we link to.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help us operate the site (such as hosting, security, and email service providers), solely to provide those services.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California). To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

Data retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.

This policy is provided as a general template and is not legal advice. Have it reviewed by a qualified attorney to confirm it meets GDPR, CCPA, and any other requirements that apply to your actual data practices before relying on it.
