How we handle your personal data at ShareToSave

Last Updated: 13 August 2025

Hi, I'm the creator of sharetosave.co.uk – a personal blog where I share my own experiences, tips, and special offers from energy and service providers like Octopus Energy. Your privacy matters to me, and I follow the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This policy explains what information I collect, why I collect it, and how it's used.

1. Information I Collect

When you visit this blog, I may collect:

  • Basic contact details (only if you choose to get in touch via my contact form).
  • Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and device details.
  • Website usage data through cookies (e.g., which pages you read, how long you stay, which affiliate links you click).

2. Why I Collect It

I use this information to:

  • Keep the blog running smoothly.
  • Understand which posts and offers are most useful to readers.
  • Track clicks on affiliate links (so the partner companies can credit me if you sign up or make a purchase).
  • Respond to messages or questions you send me.

3. Affiliate Links

Some blog posts contain affiliate links. This means I may earn a small commission or receive a benefit if you use my link – at no extra cost to you. Tracking for these links is handled by the affiliate provider (for example, Octopus Energy).

  • Website performance and analytics (e.g., Google Analytics or similar tools).

You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. See my Cookie Policy for more details.

5. Sharing Your Data

I don't sell or rent your data. I may share limited information with:

  • Service providers who help run the blog (e.g., hosting companies, analytics tools).
  • Affiliate networks for tracking and commission purposes.
  • Authorities if required by law.

6. Your Rights

Under UK data protection law, you can:

  • Ask for a copy of any personal data I hold about you.
  • Request corrections or deletion of your data.
  • Withdraw consent for cookies or marketing emails.

To exercise these rights, please use the contact form on this website.

7. Data Retention

I keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes listed above or as required by law.
