Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Compare Payroll is an independent comparison and review website that helps small and mid sized businesses research payroll and HR software. We are not a payroll provider and we do not resell the products we cover. By using this site you agree to the practices described below.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

Compare Payroll currently offers two simple ways for visitors to get in touch: the "Get free advice" lead form and the newsletter signup. When you choose to use either of them you may share details such as your name, work email, phone number, and company name. These forms exist purely to support the informational nature of the site and we only ask for what we need to follow up.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we collect basic technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, approximate location based on IP address, the pages you view, and the time of your visit. This helps us understand how the site is used and where to focus improvements.

3. Cookies and analytics

We may use cookies and similar technologies, along with privacy friendly analytics, to measure traffic patterns and improve how the site works. You can control or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking cookies should not stop you from reading reviews or comparing software.

4. How we use information

• To respond to questions submitted through the "Get free advice" form.
• To send newsletter emails to people who have subscribed.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content.
• To detect and prevent misuse or technical problems.
• To comply with applicable laws and reasonable requests from authorities.

5. How we share information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers that help us run the site, for example hosting, email delivery, or analytics, and only to the extent they need it to perform that work. If we are ever required to disclose information to comply with the law, we will do so in a careful and limited way.

If in the future we forward a buyer request to a payroll or HR software vendor, it will only be to act on what you have asked us to do, and we will make that clear at the point of submission.

6. Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email we send. You can also email privacy@comparepayroll.example to ask what information we hold about you, request a correction, or ask us to delete it. Depending on where you live, local laws may give you additional rights, and we will honor them where they apply.

7. Children's privacy

Compare Payroll is aimed at a general business audience. The site is not directed at anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Data retention and security

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this policy, or as required by law. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold, although no method of transmission or storage on the internet is 100 percent secure.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the site evolves. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it occasionally so you stay informed about how we handle your information.

10. Contact us

If you have a privacy question or request, please email privacy@comparepayroll.example and we will get back to you.
