Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Simplemetry is committed to handling your data with transparency and minimal collection. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.

1. Who we are

Simplemetry operates this website. For the purposes of data protection law, Simplemetry is the data controller responsible for your personal data.

Contact: [email protected]

2. What data we collect

Data you provide directly

We do not require you to create an account or submit any personal information to use this site. If you contact us by email, we will retain your email address and the content of your message in order to respond to you.

Data collected automatically

When you visit Simplemetry, our analytics provider automatically collects limited technical data, including:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or search query
  • Browser type and device category
  • General geographic location (country or region level — we do not collect precise location data)

This data is aggregated and anonymised. It is used solely to understand how the site is being used and to improve content and performance. We do not use it to identify individual users.

Cookies

We use two categories of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality. These cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.
  • Analytics cookies — used to understand aggregate visitor behaviour. These are only set with your consent, which you can provide or withdraw at any time via the cookie preferences banner.

You can also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling analytics cookies has no effect on your ability to access any content on this site.

3. Affiliate links

Many product links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. When you follow an affiliate link:

  • You are transferred to a third-party retailer's website
  • Your transaction is handled entirely by that retailer
  • Their privacy policy governs any data collected during and after your purchase
  • We do not receive, store, or have access to any personal or payment information from your transaction

4. Third-party services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate this site, including website hosting and analytics. Each provider is subject to a data processing agreement and is prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we process data on the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests — for essential site functionality and security
  • Consent — for analytics cookies, which are only set after you have given explicit consent
  • Contractual necessity — if you contact us, to respond to your message

6. Data retention

  • Analytics data is retained in aggregated, anonymised form. It does not identify individual users and is not subject to deletion requests.
  • Email correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, typically no longer than 2 years.

7. Your rights

If you are located in the EEA or the UK, you have the following rights under GDPR:

  • Right of access — to request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification — to request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Right to erasure — to request deletion of your personal data where we have no legitimate basis to retain it
  • Right to restrict processing — to request that we limit how we use your data
  • Right to data portability — to receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Right to object — to object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Right to withdraw consent — for any processing based on consent (such as analytics cookies), which you can withdraw at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
  • Right to lodge a complaint — with your national data protection supervisory authority if you believe your rights have been infringed

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

8. International transfers

This site is operated from within the European Union. If any data is transferred to service providers located outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

9. Children's data

This site is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal data to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any revisions. Material changes will be noted prominently on the site.
