Privacy Policy
Last updated: 30 October 2026
This policy explains what personal data gr8Choices collects when you visit gr8choices.com or request our free site list, how we use it, and what choices you have. We keep it short and plain on purpose.
1. Who we are
gr8Choices ("we", "us", "our") operates the website gr8choices.com and is the controller of the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at [email protected].
2. What data we collect
| Data | When we collect it |
|---|---|
| First name and email address | When you submit the "Get the Free Site List" form |
| Phone number (optional) | Only if you choose to enter it in the form |
| Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language | Automatically when you visit the site |
| Usage data: pages viewed, time on page, clicks, referring site, approximate location (country or region) | Automatically through cookies and similar technologies |
| Messages you send us | When you email [email protected] |
We do not ask for payment details, passwords or government ID numbers, and we never charge for the site list.
3. How we use your data
- To deliver what you asked for. We send the free PDF site list to your email address.
- To follow up. We may send a short follow-up and occasional emails about side income and consumer tests. You can unsubscribe in one click from any email.
- To run and improve the site. We use usage data to see which content is useful, fix errors and keep the site secure.
- To measure advertising. We track which campaigns lead to sign-ups so we know what is working.
- To meet legal obligations and handle complaints or disputes.
4. Legal basis (UK and EU visitors)
Where UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent for marketing emails, optional phone number processing and non-essential cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Contract / your request for sending you the site list.
- Legitimate interests for site security, analytics and improving our content, balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation where the law requires us to keep or disclose information.
5. Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, understand how it is used and measure advertising performance. These may include analytics tools, advertising pixels and page-builder scripts that load from third-party domains.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the page displays or how the form works. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
6. Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with:
- Service providers who help us run the site, host it, collect form submissions and send email, under contracts that limit how they use your data.
- Analytics and advertising partners that receive technical and usage data through cookies and pixels.
- Authorities or advisers where we are legally required to, or to protect our rights.
- A successor business if gr8Choices is ever sold or reorganised, subject to this policy.
7. Affiliate links
Our articles may contain affiliate links. If you click a link and sign up with a third-party site, that site collects and uses your data under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for how third-party sites handle your data, so please read their policies before you sign up.
8. International transfers
Some of our providers are based outside the UK and EU, including in the United States. When we transfer data abroad, we use safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
9. How long we keep your data
- Email subscribers: until you unsubscribe, plus a short period to honour your opt-out.
- Form submissions: no longer than 24 months after your last interaction with us.
- Analytics data: up to 26 months.
- Support emails: up to 24 months after the conversation ends.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- correct inaccurate data;
- ask us to delete your data;
- restrict or object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing.
To use any of these rights, email [email protected]. We reply within one month. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority, such as the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) in the UK.
11. California and other US state residents
If you live in a US state with a privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal data we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal data for money. To make a request, email [email protected]. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and restricted access. No online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Children
gr8Choices is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, email [email protected] and we will delete it.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. If we make a significant change, we will make it clear on the site or by email.
