Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
1. Who We Are
OwlyFinds ("we", "us", "our") is a UK-based tech price comparison service operated at owlyfinds.co.uk. We are not a retailer — we provide links to third-party retailers where you can purchase products. For any privacy-related enquiries, contact us at info@owlyfinds.co.uk.
2. What Data We Collect
We collect the following personal data: • Account data: name and email address when you register for an account. • Search history: product URLs you search, stored against your account to power the "Recent Searches" feature. • Usage data: pages visited, browser type, and approximate location (country-level) via server logs and analytics. • Cookies: we use essential cookies for session management and security. No analytics or tracking cookies are set.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use your data to: • Provide and improve the OwlyFinds service. • Display your recent search history when you are logged in. • Send transactional emails (account confirmation, password reset). • Understand how the site is used via aggregated, anonymised analytics. • Comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
4. Third-Party Retailers
OwlyFinds links to third-party retailer websites. Retailer websites have their own privacy policies which govern how they handle your data once you leave our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
5. Data Retention
Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time from your account settings, which permanently removes your personal data from our systems. Search history is retained for 90 days then automatically purged.
6. Your Rights (UK GDPR)
Under UK GDPR you have the right to: • Access the personal data we hold about you. • Correct inaccurate data. • Request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten"). • Restrict or object to processing. • Data portability. To exercise any of these rights, email info@owlyfinds.co.uk. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Cookies
We use only essential cookies required for login sessions and security. These cookies do not track you for advertising or analytics purposes and cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the site to function. You can manage or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time, but doing so may log you out of your account.
8. Security
We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords (bcrypt), and JWT-based authentication. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes by email. The "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page will always reflect the most recent version.
