UK GDPR Compliance

This page explains how UK Credit Card Guide complies with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), which governs the protection of personal data in the United Kingdom.

Scope and Applicability

UK Credit Card Guide is an informational blog that provides advice on UK credit cards, personal finance, and financial literacy. We do not require users to register, create accounts, or submit personal information. However, we may collect limited, anonymised data through third-party analytics tools and cookies for website functionality and performance.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access – You can request confirmation of whether we process any of your personal data.
  • Right to rectification – You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure – You can request deletion of your personal data where applicable.
  • Right to restriction of processing – You can request we limit how we use your data.
  • Right to data portability – You can request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object – You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling.
  • Right to withdraw consent – Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time.

How We Comply

UK Credit Card Guide does not store personal data in any database or user account system. We use only anonymised, aggregated data from third-party tools such as Google Analytics and cookie-based tracking for site performance. We do not sell, share, or profile personal data. All third-party tools are configured to comply with UK GDPR requirements, including data minimisation and pseudonymisation.

Data We Process

We may automatically collect the following types of data:

  • IP addresses (anonymised)
  • Browser type and device information
  • Pages visited and time spent on site
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies

This data is not linked to any individual and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR, specifically to improve website functionality, user experience, and content relevance. We do not process sensitive personal data.
