Privacy policy

This policy explains what information BestExclusive collects when you read our guides at bestexclusive.co.uk and its guide sites (such as resell.bestexclusive.co.uk), and what your rights are.

Who we are

BestExclusive is operated by NearbyYou, which is responsible for your personal data on these sites. Contact us about privacy at privacy@bestexclusive.co.uk.

What we collect and why

• Server logs. Our web server records technical details of each visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. We use them to keep the sites secure and working, which is our legitimate interest. Logs are kept only as long as needed for that purpose.
• Visitor statistics (no cookies). To see how many people read our guides and from which countries, a small script on each page tells our server which page you opened and, while the page is open, that you are still reading. Our server works out your country from your IP address using a database kept on our own server (IP geolocation by DB-IP). It then creates an anonymous ID from your IP address and browser details mixed with a random value that changes every day and is then deleted, so the ID cannot be linked across days or traced back to you. We do not store your IP address or set any cookie for this. We keep the country, the page, the site that referred you (for example a search engine), the type of device (mobile, tablet or desktop) and the time, for 90 days. We use this to improve the sites, which is our legitimate interest, and it is not shared with anyone.
• Emails you send us. If you email us, we keep the message and your email address so we can reply and keep a record of the conversation.
• Cookies. Our own pages set cookies only for people who log in to manage the sites. Third-party services we use, listed below if any are active, may set their own.

We do not sell your personal data.

Advertising and cookies

Our guides show ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and measure them, and, if you agree, to personalise them. Visitors from the UK and EU are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time using the privacy link on the page. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Shopping links

We use Skimlinks, which turns some links to shops into affiliate links so we may earn a commission if you buy. Skimlinks may set cookies to record that you came from our site. See the Skimlinks privacy policy.

Links to other sites and partners

Our guides link to other websites, including the official help pages of the services we write about. Some links are partner (affiliate) links. If you follow one, the partner may set its own cookies to record that you came from us, and its privacy policy applies on its site. See how we make money.

Where your data is stored

Our sites are hosted on a server provided by Hostinger. Data in server logs and emails stays with us and our hosting provider.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to how we use it, or ask us to restrict its use. Email privacy@bestexclusive.co.uk and we will reply within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

We will update this page if how we handle data changes, for example if we add new services. Last updated 14 November 2026.
