Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how SaveSleuth handles personal data when you visit the website, contact us, or use links and features available on the site.

SaveSleuth publishes shopping comparisons, product and store information, buying guides, coupons, and deal-related content. We do not sell products directly.

Who Is Responsible for Your Data?

The person or organisation responsible for SaveSleuth is identified in our Imprint. Privacy-related questions and requests can be sent to hello@savesleuth.com.

What Personal Data We May Process

The personal data involved depends on how you use SaveSleuth. We may process the following categories of information:

Contact information: such as your name, email address, and any details you include when contacting us.
Message content: information contained in correction requests, partnership enquiries, press enquiries, or other messages sent to SaveSleuth.
Technical data: information that may be generated when a website is accessed, such as IP address, browser type, device information, requested page, date and time, referrer information, and technical log data.
Cookie and consent information: choices relating to optional cookies or similar technologies where these are used.
Usage information: aggregated or individual website-usage information where analytics or similar technologies are enabled and legally permitted.
Affiliate referral information: information associated with a visit to a retailer or affiliate network after an eligible outbound link is followed. This may be processed primarily by the relevant third party.

Why We Process Personal Data

Purpose	Typical data	Possible legal basis
Responding to enquiries	name, email address, message content	legitimate interests or steps requested before entering into a possible business relationship
Handling corrections and reports	contact details, submitted evidence, message content	legitimate interests in maintaining accurate content
Operating and securing the website	technical and server-log data	legitimate interests in website operation, reliability, and security
Optional analytics	usage and device information	consent where required
Remembering cookie choices	consent preferences	legal obligations and/or legitimate interests, depending on the technology used
Affiliate attribution	referral and conversion information processed by merchants or affiliate networks	consent or another applicable basis as determined by the relevant processing context

The exact lawful basis depends on the processing activity and applicable law. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent for future processing.

Contact Messages

If you contact SaveSleuth, we process the information you provide so that we can read, respond to, and where necessary follow up on your message.

This may include enquiries about factual corrections, broken links, retailer information, partnerships, media requests, or general questions.

Please do not send passwords, full payment-card details, private account credentials, health records, or other sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary for your request.

Technical and Server Data

Like most websites, SaveSleuth and its hosting or infrastructure providers may process technical information when pages are requested. This can include IP addresses, timestamps, browser or device information, requested URLs, response status, and similar log information.

Such information may be required to deliver the website, identify technical problems, maintain security, prevent abuse, and investigate unusual activity.

Analytics

SaveSleuth may use analytics or similar measurement technologies to understand how the site is used and which pages are useful to visitors.

Where optional analytics requires consent, it should only be activated after the relevant consent has been given. If optional analytics is not enabled, this section does not mean that a particular analytics provider is necessarily active on the site.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

SaveSleuth may use essential and optional cookies or similar technologies. Essential technologies may support website operation, security, and consent preferences. Optional technologies may be used for analytics or other functions where permitted.

More information is available in our Cookie Policy.

Affiliate Links and Third-Party Retailers

Some SaveSleuth pages contain affiliate links. When you follow an outbound affiliate link, you leave SaveSleuth and visit a third-party website such as a retailer, marketplace, or affiliate platform.

Those third parties may process information about your visit, device, referral source, account, or purchase under their own privacy notices and cookie policies. SaveSleuth does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party retailers.

Affiliate tracking may allow a merchant or network to determine that a qualifying visit or transaction originated from SaveSleuth. If so, SaveSleuth may receive a commission.

More information about affiliate relationships is available in our Affiliate Disclosure and How SaveSleuth Makes Money.

Who May Receive Personal Data?

Personal data may be processed by service providers where this is necessary to operate SaveSleuth. Depending on the feature involved, categories of recipients may include:

website hosting and infrastructure providers;
email and communication providers;
security, backup, and technical service providers;
analytics or consent-management providers where enabled;
affiliate networks and retailers when you follow relevant outbound links;
professional advisers or public authorities where disclosure is legally required.

We do not sell personal data to advertisers.

International Data Transfers

Some technical or commercial service providers may process data outside the country in which you are located, including outside the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.

Where international transfers require additional safeguards, the relevant provider or controller should use an applicable legal transfer mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate contractual safeguards.

How Long We Keep Personal Data

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal, security, and record-keeping requirements.

Contact messages may be retained while an enquiry or follow-up remains relevant.
Correction or partnership correspondence may be retained where needed to document decisions or previous communications.
Technical logs may be retained for limited periods required for security, troubleshooting, or infrastructure operation.
Cookie and consent records may be retained for the period necessary to document or remember your choices.

Data may be deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal data. These can include:

the right to request access to personal data held about you;
the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
the right to request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances;
the right to request restriction of processing;
the right to object to certain processing;
the right to data portability where applicable;
the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
the right to complain to a competent data-protection supervisory authority.

Your right to object: Where personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests, you may have the right to object to that processing based on your particular situation.

Withdrawing Consent

If we rely on your consent for optional processing, you may withdraw that consent for future processing. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

Where available, optional cookie choices can be changed through the site’s consent controls or through relevant browser settings.

Complaints

If you believe your personal data has been handled incorrectly, you can contact us first at hello@savesleuth.com.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority responsible for your location, place of work, or the alleged infringement. UK users can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Users in the European Union can contact the competent supervisory authority in their Member State.

Automated Decision-Making

SaveSleuth does not currently use personal data to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individual visitors.

External Websites

SaveSleuth contains links to external websites. Once you leave SaveSleuth, the privacy practices of the destination website apply. We recommend reviewing the relevant retailer or service provider’s privacy information before providing personal data there.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, data-processing activities, providers, or legal requirements change.

The date at the top of this page shows when this policy was last updated.
