Information We Collect

Information you provide

We receive information that you choose to provide when you email us, submit a form or leave a comment. This can include your name, email address, website address, message and any information you include in your communication.

Technical and usage information

When you use the site, our hosting, security and analytics systems may process technical information such as your IP address, approximate location, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, interaction data, timestamps and security events.

We use Google Analytics through Site Kit to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics storage is controlled through the site’s cookie-consent system. Google may receive information about your device and use of the site when analytics consent is granted.

Comments and spam prevention

If comments are enabled and you leave a comment, WordPress and our anti-spam service may process the information submitted with the comment, your IP address and browser information to identify spam, abuse and security threats.

Affiliate links

Some links are affiliate links. We may record that a link was clicked, together with limited technical information such as the referring page and time of the click. The merchant or affiliate network may set its own cookies or collect information after you follow the link. Its privacy policy applies to that processing.

Why We Use Personal Information

We process personal information for the following purposes and lawful bases:

• Operating and securing the site: our legitimate interests in maintaining a reliable, safe and functioning publication.
• Responding to enquiries and corrections: our legitimate interests in communicating with readers, or taking steps requested by you before entering an agreement.
• Editorial and business records: our legitimate interests in documenting corrections, commercial enquiries and important correspondence.
• Audience analytics: your consent where consent is required for analytics cookies or similar technologies.
• Affiliate measurement: your consent where tracking uses non-essential cookies or similar technologies, and our legitimate interests in measuring referrals where the processing does not require consent.
• Legal compliance: compliance with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or law-enforcement obligations.

We do not sell or rent personal information.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The site uses essential cookies required for security, preferences and basic operation. With your consent, it may also use analytics cookies to measure site use and improve content.

The cookie banner allows you to accept analytics, reject analytics or adjust cookie settings. You can change or withdraw your choice using the site’s cookie settings control. You can also remove or block cookies through your browser, although doing so may affect some site functions.

Non-essential cookies should not be treated as accepted merely because you continue browsing.

Who Receives Personal Information

We disclose information only where reasonably necessary to operate the publication, provide a requested service, protect the site or comply with law. Recipients may include:

• Website hosting, performance and security providers, including SiteGround services used by this WordPress site.
• Google, where Google Analytics, Search Console or related Site Kit services are used.
• Automattic and Akismet for comment spam protection, where comments are submitted.
• Email, form and communication providers used to receive and manage enquiries.
• Affiliate networks and merchants when you follow an affiliate link.
• Professional advisers, regulators, courts or authorities where disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect legal rights.

These providers may act as processors on our instructions or as separate controllers for their own services.

International Processing and Transfers

AFFILIARE INC. is incorporated in the United Arab Emirates and its business is managed internationally. Service providers may process information in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, United States, United Arab Emirates, Thailand and other countries.

Where data-protection law requires a transfer safeguard, we use the relevant provider’s contractual safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism. The privacy terms of third-party providers may also describe their international processing arrangements.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, maintaining appropriate editorial or business records, preventing abuse and meeting legal obligations.

Retention depends on the type of information:

• Enquiries and correspondence are retained while they remain relevant to the enquiry, relationship, correction or legal record.
• Comments may remain with the relevant article unless they are removed, anonymised or no longer required.
• Security and server logs are retained according to the operational schedules of our hosting and security providers.
• Analytics information is retained according to the applicable analytics account settings and may later be held in aggregated form.
• Records required for legal, tax or accounting purposes are retained for the applicable statutory period.

Your Rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, your rights may include:

• Accessing the personal information held about you.
• Correcting inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Requesting deletion or restriction of processing.
• Objecting to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Receiving certain information in a portable format.
• Withdrawing consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
• Complaining to an appropriate data-protection authority.

To exercise a right, email info@thebestvpn.uk. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

If you are in the United Kingdom, you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first.

Children

TheBestVPN.uk is not directed at children and we do not knowingly request personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information. No website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

External Websites

The site links to VPN providers, broadcasters, merchants, public bodies and other external websites. We do not control their privacy practices. Review the relevant external privacy notice before providing information to another organisation.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our services, providers or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published on this page with a revised date.
