We never sell your data
Affiliate commissions on sign-up clicks fund the site. That is our entire revenue model. Your personal data is never for sale.
LEGAL
Privacy Policy
How Passebo handles your information, in plain English without the legalese.
THE SHORT VERSION
Three things you should know
If you only read this far, here is the gist.
Encrypted, end-to-end
Anything we collect is encrypted in transit and at rest, on infrastructure with monitoring, firewalls and regular security reviews.
No cross-site tracking
We don't use third-party ad pixels or marketing tags. No personalized ad network profiles you off the back of your visit here.
PRIVACY
How we handle your information
What this policy covers
This policy applies to passebo.com and every service we run from it. We've written it in plain English so it is easy to read. It explains what we collect and why, who we share it with and what rights you have to control it.
What we collect
Three small buckets. Website analytics records page views, time on page and country-level location. Contact details: if you email us or use the contact form, we keep your email and message so we can reply. Technical data: your browser type, device info and IP address, which is never stored permanently.
What we don't collect
No mandatory user account. No cross-website tracking cookies. No sensitive personal data (health, finance, location-down-to-the-street). No data sold or rented to third parties. If you can use the site without telling us anything, we'd rather you did.
How we use your data
Four reasons, in priority order. To improve the site (which guides are useful, which load slowly). To respond to you when you email or use the contact form. To keep the site secure (spotting abuse, blocking attacks). To shape what we write about next, based on which topics readers want.
Who we share data with
A short list. Our analytics service (server-side, privacy-friendly, anonymized). Our hosting provider, who has technical access to the servers. Law enforcement, only if we are legally compelled and only the minimum required. We don't share your data with the providers we review, marketers, advertisers or affiliate networks.
How we protect your data
Encryption in transit (HTTPS everywhere) and at rest (encrypted disks). Infrastructure behind firewalls. We monitor it 24/7 and run intrusion detection. Regular security updates and reviews. Access to backend systems is limited to the small team behind the site and requires two-factor authentication.
Your rights & control
Under UK GDPR, EU GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to access what we hold about you, correct it if it is wrong, delete it, export it in a portable format, or restrict how we use it. Email us via the contact form and we will respond within 30 days. It is free and there are no hoops to jump through.
Cookies & tracking
Two cookies. One is required to keep Passebo working (your consent choice, session, security). The other is an opt-in analytics cookie that is anonymous and country-level. You can change your mind any time with the "Cookie Preferences" button at the bottom of every page. See our cookie policy for the full breakdown.
Policy updates
When we update this policy, the date at the top changes. Material changes (anything that affects what we collect or who sees it) get a notice on the site. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the new terms. If you don't accept them, stop using the site or email us first.
