This policy explains what information Money App Reviews collects, why it is used and the choices you have. I have kept it in plain English so you can see what happens when you browse the site, use a referral link or send a message.
Who is responsible for your information?
Money App Reviews is an independent UK website run by Steven. For data-protection purposes, Money App Reviews is the controller of personal information collected directly through this website.
You can contact me about privacy or your information through the Contact page.
What information may be collected?
- Contact information: your name, email address and anything you choose to include in a message.
- Website usage information: pages viewed, approximate location, device type, browser, referring page and interactions with the site.
- Technical and security information: IP address, timestamps and technical logs used to keep the website secure and working properly.
- Referral information: the link clicked, referring page, time of the click and technical details recorded by the referral system or provider.
Please do not send passwords, payment details, full account numbers or other sensitive information through the contact form.
Why I use this information
- To reply when you contact me.
- To correct articles and investigate factual issues.
- To understand which guides are useful and improve the website.
- To measure referral performance and identify invalid or automated clicks.
- To prevent spam, fraud, abuse and security problems.
- To meet legal, tax or regulatory obligations where they apply.
Lawful bases
The lawful basis depends on what the information is being used for:
- Consent is used where you choose to accept non-essential cookies or send information voluntarily.
- Legitimate interests may be used to operate, secure and improve the site, answer genuine enquiries, measure referral activity and prevent abuse. I only rely on this where those interests are not outweighed by your rights.
- Legal obligation may apply where records must be kept or disclosed by law.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses essential technologies needed for security, performance and basic functionality. With your choice where required, analytics technologies may also be used to understand visits and improve content.
You can accept or reject non-essential technologies through the cookie controls shown on the site. You can also clear cookies in your browser. Blocking some technologies may affect how parts of the site work.
Analytics
Analytics tools, including Google services, may collect aggregated information about visits, devices and how pages are found. This helps me see which articles are useful. Analytics is not used by Money App Reviews to make decisions about your eligibility for financial products or services.
Affiliate links and referral tracking
Some links are affiliate or referral links. Clicking one may take you through an internal /go/ link before sending you to the provider. The site may record the click for attribution, reporting and fraud prevention. The provider may then use its own cookies or tracking parameters under its privacy policy.
Money App Reviews does not receive your provider password, payment-card details or full account information when you use a referral link.
You can read more about commercial links in the Affiliate Disclosure.
Contact forms
When you use the contact form, the details you provide are used to read and respond to your message. They may also be retained where needed to follow up a correction, privacy request or commercial enquiry.
Service providers and international processing
The site relies on providers for hosting, security, analytics, caching, image optimisation, forms and referral tracking. These providers process only the information needed to deliver their service and may operate outside the UK.
Where information is processed internationally, the provider is expected to use an applicable adequacy arrangement or recognised contractual safeguards.
How long information is kept
Contact messages are kept only while they are needed to respond, maintain a useful record of the issue or meet a legal requirement. Security, analytics and referral logs are kept for as long as reasonably needed for reporting, attribution, fraud prevention and site protection, then deleted or anonymised when they are no longer required.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you the right to:
- Ask for a copy of your personal information.
- Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected.
- Ask for information to be deleted or its use restricted.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
- Ask for portable information where that right applies.
Your right to object: You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. I will review the request and stop the processing unless there is a valid reason to continue under data-protection law.
To make a request, use the Contact page and explain what you need. I may need enough information to confirm your identity before acting on a request.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with how a privacy request has been handled, please contact me first so I can try to resolve it. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
Automated decisions
Money App Reviews does not use your personal information to make solely automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy when the site, its providers or the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last reviewed.
