Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This policy explains what personal data FindThisBest collects, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it and the choices you have. It applies to all FindThisBest sites: www.findthisbest.com, www.findthisbest.co.uk, de.findthisbest.com, fr.findthisbest.com and es.findthisbest.com.

Who we are

FindThisBest ("we", "us") is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. Postal address: 5 Temasek Boulevard, Singapore 038985. You can reach us about anything in this policy at [email protected].

When you browse the site

Like most websites, our servers record technical information with each request: your IP address, browser and device type, the page you asked for, the page that referred you and the time. We use it to run, secure and fix the site, and keep these logs for no longer than 14 days. You can read our reviews and lists without an account.

Your account and favorites

An account is optional. You need one only to save lists to your favorites.

  • Email sign-up: your name, email address and password. We store the password only as a one-way hash, so nobody at FindThisBest can read it. We also record when you verified your email address.
  • Security check: the email sign-up and password reset forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots. Cloudflare processes technical data about your browser and connection for this check.
  • Sign in with Google: with your permission, Google shares your Google account ID, name, email address, whether Google has verified that email, and the link to your profile picture. We use them only to create and sign in to your account and to show your picture in the site header. We never receive your Google password, we do not ask for access to any other Google data, and we do not keep Google access tokens.
  • Favorites: the lists you save and when you saved them.
  • Account emails: we use your email address to send account messages only, such as the verification link and password reset links. We do not send newsletters or marketing emails.

Each FindThisBest site keeps its own accounts, so an account on one site does not sign you in to another. You can delete your account and favorites at any time with "Delete account" on your account page; they are deleted right away.

Cookies and analytics

We use a small number of cookies that the site needs to work: a session cookie that keeps you signed in and protects forms against forgery, a "remember me" cookie when you tick that box or sign in with Google, and, where we ask for consent, a cookie that stores your choice for 180 days.

We use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to understand how the site is used, for example which pages are read and which links are clicked. Google Analytics sets its own cookies. You can block them in your browser settings or with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we rely on these legal bases:

  • Providing your account, favorites and account emails: performance of our agreement with you.
  • Keeping the site secure, preventing abuse (for example limiting repeated sign-in attempts) and fixing errors: our legitimate interests.
  • Analytics cookies on the UK and EU sites: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
  • Answering your messages: our legitimate interest in responding to you.
  • Meeting legal obligations, where they apply.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it for advertising. Service providers that process it for us, under contracts that limit how they may use it:

  • Amazon Web Services: the servers and database that run the site.
  • Cloudflare: content delivery, security and image storage.
  • Postmark (ActiveCampaign): delivering account emails.
  • Google: sign-in with Google if you choose it, and Google Analytics and Tag Manager.
  • Flare: error reports that help us fix problems.

We may also disclose data when the law requires it, or to protect our rights and our users' safety.

International transfers

Our servers are in the United States. If you use the site from the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, your data is transferred to the United States. We rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework (including its UK Extension) where our providers are certified, or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep it

  • Account and favorites: until you delete your account.
  • Accounts whose email address was never verified: deleted after 7 days.
  • Password reset links: they expire after 60 minutes.
  • Server logs: up to 14 days.
  • Google Analytics data: no longer than 14 months.
  • Emails you send us: as long as needed to answer you and keep a record of the conversation.

Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to restrict or object to how we use it, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Email [email protected]; we answer within one month. We extend these rights to everyone, wherever you live. If you are in the United Kingdom you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO); in the European Economic Area, to the data protection authority where you live.

Children

The site is not meant for children under 16, and we do not knowingly create accounts for them.

Security

The site is served only over HTTPS, passwords are hashed, and access to our systems is limited to the people who run them. No service is completely secure, so please use a password that you do not use anywhere else.

Retailers and other sites

Our lists link to retailers such as Amazon, eBay and Walmart, often through affiliate programs (Amazon Associates, eBay Partner Network, Skimlinks). When you follow these links, the retailer and the affiliate network may set their own cookies to credit the referral, under their own privacy policies. We do not receive your purchase details.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy we update the date at the top. If a change materially affects account holders, we also tell them by email before it takes effect.
