5. Analytics & Processors
When you grant analytics consent, we share pseudonymised event data with the following processors. We use Google Consent Mode v2 — before consent is given, these tools receive anonymous signals only and do not set identifying cookies.
- Google Analytics 4 — traffic analysis and Core Web Vitals. See Google's privacy policy.
- Microsoft Clarity — anonymised session replays and heatmaps. See Microsoft's privacy statement.
- Cloudflare — hosting, CDN and security. Processes request-level logs (IP, user agent) for delivery and abuse prevention. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
6. Third-Party Providers & Affiliate Links
Our website includes links to third-party money transfer providers. Many of these are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission when you sign up or transact. This does not change the rate or fee you see, and does not influence our rankings — see our Affiliate Disclosure for the full explanation. When you click through to a provider, you are subject to their privacy policy and terms. We encourage users to read the privacy policy of any external site they visit.
7. Contact & Communication
If you contact us via email at admin@compareremittancerates.com, we may retain your message and email address solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry and improving our service. We will never share your contact information with third parties or use it for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

By using our website, you consent to this Privacy Policy. You have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt-out of analytics tracking

9. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
