Privacy Policy
Your Privacy, Explained Plainly.
The same plain-English approach we bring to technology, applied to how we handle your data. Last updated 7 July 2026.
This Privacy Policy explains what information WhatsOnTech collects, why we collect it, and what choices you have. We've written it to be readable rather than full of legal padding. If anything here is unclear, get in touch and we'll explain it in plain terms.
- We only collect what we need — mainly the details you choose to share, plus basic, anonymous usage data.
- We never sell your personal information to anyone.
- We use cookies and analytics to understand what's useful and improve the site.
- Some links are affiliate links, and we'll always be upfront about that.
- You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your details at any time.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
When you contact us or sign up for the newsletter, you may share details such as your name, your email address, and the content of your message. You only ever provide this because you chose to, and you can ask us to remove it later.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we collect some basic technical information when you visit — such as your browser type, device, general location, the pages you view, and how you arrived. This data is aggregated and anonymous. It helps us understand which articles are useful, not to identify you personally.
How We Use Your Information
- To send the newsletter and respond to messages you send us.
- To understand which topics and guides readers find most helpful.
- To improve the site's content, layout, speed, and reliability.
- To keep the site secure and prevent spam or abuse.
We do not sell your personal information, and we don't share it with third parties except the trusted services we rely on to run the site, described below.
Cookies And Analytics
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. We use them, along with privacy-conscious analytics, to remember preferences and to measure how the site is used in an aggregate way. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so won't stop you reading anything, though a few conveniences may not work as smoothly.
Email And The Newsletter
If you subscribe, we use your email only to send the updates you asked for. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and we'll never add you to a list you didn't opt into. We keep the sending list with a reputable email provider and don't use your address for anything else.
Affiliate Links And Advertising
Some of our reviews and guides include affiliate links. If you buy something through one of them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes our recommendation — honesty is one of our core values, and we'll always tell you what we genuinely think, including the downsides. Where advertising or affiliate relationships apply, we aim to disclose them clearly.
Third-Party Services
We use a handful of established services to run WhatsOnTech, such as web hosting, analytics, and email delivery. These providers process limited data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy terms. We choose partners that take data protection seriously.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable steps to keep your information safe, including secure connections and limiting who can access it. No method of storage or transmission online is ever completely secure, but we work to protect your data and to only keep it for as long as it's genuinely needed.
Your Choices And Rights
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
- Ask us what personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct or delete your personal information.
- Control cookies through your browser settings.
To make any of these requests, just contact us and we'll help.
Children's Privacy
WhatsOnTech is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their details, contact us and we'll remove it.
Changes To This Policy
As the site grows, we may update this policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date above. Significant changes will be made clear rather than buried.
