Privacy Policy

This policy explains how this website, https://smartpocketdeals.com (“we”, “us”), handles personal data. It is written for visitors in the United Kingdom and is intended to comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who is responsible

This website, https://smartpocketdeals.com (“we”, “us”), is the data controller. You can contact us via https://smartpocketdeals.com.

The data we may collect

We do not sell products ourselves. Purchases are completed on third-party sites such as Amazon or eBay. We may collect:

Information you send us, such as your name and email address, if you use a contact form or get in touch via https://smartpocketdeals.com.
Comments or similar contributions, if comments are enabled, including the details WordPress stores with a comment (for example your name, email address and IP address).
Technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, through our hosting logs or any analytics tool we use.
Cookie data, as described in our Cookie Policy.

Why we use personal data (legal bases)

We use personal data to operate and secure the website, to reply to you, to improve the site, and to meet legal duties. Depending on the activity, the UK GDPR legal basis will be that the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (running a small publishing and affiliate site, in a way that does not override your rights), that it is necessary to take steps at your request or to comply with the law, or that you have given consent (for example, for non-essential cookies, if we use them).

Affiliate links and third parties

If you follow an affiliate link, the retailer (for example Amazon or eBay) and its partners may collect data about that visit under their own privacy policies, including to attribute a commission to us. We do not receive your payment-card details. You should read the retailer’s privacy policy before you buy.

How long we keep data and where it is stored

We keep personal data only for as long as we need it for the purposes above, and then delete or anonymise it unless the law requires us to keep it longer. Our hosting and some tools may store data on servers inside or outside the UK. If personal data is transferred outside the UK, we will use a lawful transfer mechanism, such as the UK’s adequacy regulations or standard contractual clauses, as applicable.

Your rights

Under the UK GDPR you have rights in respect of your personal data, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, and the right to withdraw consent where we rely on it. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. To exercise your rights, contact us via https://smartpocketdeals.com.

We may update this policy from time to time. Last updated: 11 November 2026.
