We collect personal data in several ways:

• Cookies and tracking data — small files stored on your device that help us personalise your experience and measure site performance.

• Communications data — records of messages you send us via contact forms or email.

We only collect data that is necessary for the purposes described in this policy. We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial account details, health data, or government identification.

We use the data we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide and improve our services and content

We process your data on the following legal bases: consent (for marketing communications), legitimate interests (for analytics and security), and contractual necessity (for account management).

We share data with the following categories of third parties:

• Analytics providers — we use tools such as Google Analytics to understand site usage. These providers may process data outside the UK/EU under appropriate safeguards.

• Affiliate networks — when you click a broker referral link, the affiliate network and the receiving broker may receive a click identifier and referral data. We do not share your name or email address with brokers.

• Email service providers — used to deliver newsletters and transactional emails. These providers process your email address on our behalf under data processing agreements.

• Legal and regulatory authorities — we may disclose data when required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory request.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

• Marketing cookies — used to track visits from affiliate and advertising campaigns. Set only with your consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie settings link in our site footer, or through your browser settings. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use the site.

• Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

• Enquiry and contact data is retained for up to 2 years.

• Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form indefinitely.
