Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. Information we collect

Information you provide directly. If you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message, stored so we can respond to you. We don't require an account to use any part of the site — browsing, filtering, and comparing phones works with no sign-up at all.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our server logs basic technical information on every request — IP address, browser type, pages visited, and timestamps. This is standard web server behavior used for security and troubleshooting, not for building a profile of individual visitors.

Cookies. We use cookies for basic site functionality. If advertising is active on this site (see below), Google and its advertising partners may also set cookies in your browser.

2. Cookies and advertising

This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a visitor's prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more detail on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of this site function, though the core browsing, filtering, and comparison tools do not require cookies to work.

3. How we use information

To respond to messages sent through the contact form
To keep the site secure and to diagnose technical problems
To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it
To serve advertising, where active, that helps keep this site free to use

We do not sell personal information to third parties, and we do not use contact form submissions for marketing unless you've separately opted in to something that says otherwise.

4. Third-party services

We may use the following categories of third-party service on this site:

Advertising (Google AdSense) — serves ads and may use cookies as described above.
Analytics — if we use an analytics provider (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic patterns, it operates under that provider's own privacy policy in addition to this one.
Hosting and infrastructure — our hosting provider processes standard server logs as part of running the site.

These providers may collect information under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review separately.

5. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you're located, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of information we hold about you (such as a contact form submission), and the right to object to certain processing. If you'd like to exercise any of these, contact us using the details below and we'll respond as promptly as we can.

If you're located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or a jurisdiction with similar data protection law (such as GDPR), you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. If you're located in California, you may have rights under the CCPA regarding personal information we hold. We aim to honor these rights regardless of exactly where you're located, on a best-effort basis.

6. Data retention

Contact form messages are kept as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for our own records, after which they may be deleted. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes and then rotated out.

7. Children's privacy

GadgetsPie is a general-audience site about phone specifications and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the relevant age of consent in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we'll remove it.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time — for example, if we add a new third-party service or advertising provider. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.

9. Contact us

Questions about this policy, or want to exercise a data right described above? Reach us through the contact page.

This policy is provided as a general template for a small, independently run comparison site and does not constitute legal advice. If you operate this site commercially, especially with visitors from the EU/UK (GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), or other jurisdictions with specific data protection requirements, we'd strongly recommend having this reviewed by a qualified lawyer before relying on it, and adapting it to reflect exactly which third-party services (analytics, ad networks, etc.) are actually active on the site.
