Privacy policy

What we collect

Using the rate comparison requires no account. We do not ask for your name, phone number, or any financial details. The only personal information we collect is your email address, and only if you choose to join our mailing list.

Cookies and local storage

We set one cookie, called fs_arm, when you first arrive. It stores a single word — one of end, inline, modal or sticky — recording which layout of our mailing-list prompt you were shown, so the page does not change shape on you between visits while we work out which version people prefer. It lasts 90 days.

We set a second cookie, fs_seen, holding the single character 1, so that when we count visitors we count your browser once rather than on every visit. It also lasts 90 days.

Your browser also holds short-lived flags in session storage, so we do not count the same visit twice and do not re-show a popup you have closed. These are cleared when you close the tab.

How we measure the site

To understand how the site is used, we set a third cookie, fs_vid, containing a randomly generated identifier — a string of characters like 6f1c…. It lasts 90 days and lets us recognise the same browser across visits so we can answer questions like "how many people who look at rates go on to click a provider?"

While you use the site we record events tied to that identifier: that a page was viewed, that an amount was entered (and what amount), that a sort option or a provider link was clicked (and which one), that the signup form was started or completed, and that a poll option was chosen. Each event is stored with its date and time.

To be direct about what this means: this is a record of one browser's activity on this site, not a purely anonymous tally. It is not linked to your name or email unless you choose to join our mailing list, and the identifier is random — it is not derived from you and means nothing outside this site.

We do not store IP addresses or device fingerprints ourselves. We do not use advertising cookies, we do not track you across other websites, and we never sell or share this data.

We also use Vercel Web Analytics, provided by our hosting company, to count page views and see which pages are visited. It sets no cookies and does not identify you; it derives a temporary daily figure from technical details of your request, such as your IP address and browser, which it discards rather than stores. Vercel processes this on our behalf as a service provider. Their privacy notice is at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy. Turning measurement off below does not disable it, because it is part of how the site is served — but you can block it with any standard browser content blocker.

You can switch this off. Use the button below and we will stop recording events from this browser and clear the identifier. The site works exactly the same afterwards. Deleting cookies in your browser has the same effect.

How long we keep it

Usage events are kept for up to 12 months and then deleted. Aggregate daily totals, which contain no identifier, may be kept longer.

How we use your email

With your express consent (the checkbox you tick when signing up), we use your email to send rate alerts and updates about this tool and future products built by the FairSend team. We record the date and time of your consent. We do not sell or share your email with third parties for their own marketing.

Unsubscribing

You can withdraw consent at any time. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, or you can email us directly and we will remove you promptly.

Storage

Email addresses are stored securely with our hosting and database providers. We keep them only for as long as you remain subscribed.
