Privacy policy

How we handle your personal data, in line with (need to decide on this!!!)UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Last updated: 20 July 2026

1. Who we are

CompareGlasses (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates a price-comparison service for glasses sold by retailers. We are the data controller responsible for your personal data. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at INSERT EMAIL.

2. What data we collect

We may collect and process:

  • Contact details you choose to give us, such as your name and email address, when you contact us or submit a form.
  • Usage data, such as the pages you visit, the links you click, your approximate location, browser type and device information, collected automatically when you use the site.
  • Cookie and analytics data, used to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data to:

  • respond to your enquiries and provide the information you request;
  • operate, maintain and improve the CompareGlasses service;
  • measure the performance of retailer links, including affiliate referrals, so we can keep the service running;
  • comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Legal bases for processing

Under GDPR we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies), our legitimate interests in operating and improving the service and understanding how it is used, and legal obligation where we are required to process data by law. You can withdraw consent at any time.

5. Cookies and affiliate tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functionality, analytics, and affiliate tracking. When you click a link to a retailer, an affiliate cookie may record that the referral came from us so that any commission is attributed correctly. This does not add any cost to your purchase. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings.

6. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with trusted service providers who help us run the site (such as hosting and analytics providers) and with affiliate networks for the purpose of attributing referrals. These providers are required to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.

7. Data retention and security

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse.

8. Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at INSERT PRIVACY EMAIL HERE. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. Significant changes will be made clear on this page.
