Privacy Policy
How Global Proxy Compare handles information when you visit our independent proxy comparison directory.
This Privacy Policy explains how Global Proxy Compare ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the website globalproxycompare.com (the "Site"). Global Proxy Compare is an independent proxy comparison directory. We are not a proxy provider and we do not sell proxy services. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Who we are
Global Proxy Compare publishes comparison content, guides and directory listings about global proxy providers. The only way to contact us is by email at info@globalproxycompare.com. We do not operate a phone line, live chat, postal contact desk or social media support channel.
2. Information we do not collect
The Site is a static informational website. We do not operate a backend database, user accounts, or a contact form that stores your details. Specifically, we do not:
- Ask you to create an account or log in
- Process payments or store payment information
- Run a server-side contact form that saves your messages on the Site
- Knowingly collect sensitive personal information
If you choose to email us, we will receive the information you include in that email (such as your email address and message) solely so we can respond. We do not add you to a marketing list without your consent.
3. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, basic technical information may be collected automatically when you visit, including your browser type, device type, approximate region, referring page and pages viewed. This may occur through standard web server logs and, where used, privacy-conscious analytics tools. This information helps us understand general usage and improve our content. It is not used to personally identify you.
3.1 Analytics
We may use analytics services to measure aggregate traffic and understand which guides are most useful. These services may set cookies or use similar technologies to count visits and sessions. Where required, you can control cookies through your browser settings.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. The Site may use a limited number of cookies for purposes such as remembering basic preferences or supporting analytics. You can disable or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from reading our comparison content.
5. Partner and affiliate links
Some links on the Site — including links to providers such as our Global Value Pick, Cheapest Proxies — may be partner or affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This support helps us keep the directory free to use. Affiliate relationships do not change our editorial approach: we present providers fairly and encourage you to verify details directly before buying.
6. Third-party websites
The Site links to third-party websites, including proxy providers and their offerings. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external sites. When you leave Global Proxy Compare, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any website you visit.
7. How information is used
Any information we receive or that is collected automatically may be used to:
- Respond to email enquiries you send us
- Understand aggregate Site usage and improve our content
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
8. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Limited information may be processed by trusted service providers (for example, hosting or analytics providers) strictly to operate the Site, or disclosed where required by law.
9. Data retention
We retain email correspondence only as long as needed to respond to and manage your enquiry. Aggregate analytics data is retained in line with the relevant analytics service's standard practices.
10. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding personal information, such as requesting access to or deletion of information you have sent us by email. To make a request, contact us at info@globalproxycompare.com. You can also control cookies and analytics through your browser settings.
11. Children's privacy
The Site is intended for a general, business-oriented audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
12. Security
We take reasonable measures to keep the Site and any email correspondence secure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
14. Contact us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please email info@globalproxycompare.com. Email is the only contact method we offer.
