Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how Smart Connections collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website.

Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide: When you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, or submit a review, we collect your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide.
  • Automatically collected information: We collect standard web analytics data such as pages visited, time spent on site, browser type, and general geographic location (city/region level). We do not collect precise location data.
  • ZIP code searches: When you search by ZIP code, we process that ZIP code to show relevant providers. We do not permanently store individual search queries linked to identifiable users.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Show you relevant internet and TV providers in your area
  • Send the newsletter you subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • Respond to your inquiries and support requests
  • Improve our website, content, and comparison tools
  • Analyze traffic patterns to understand how our service is used

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (session management, CSRF protection).
  • Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This data is anonymized and aggregated.
  • Affiliate tracking: When you click a provider link, we may set a tracking cookie so we can receive commission credit if you purchase a plan. This does not affect the price you pay.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the site may not work correctly as a result.

Smart Connections participates in affiliate programs with internet and TV providers. When you click a link to a provider's website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This commission comes from the provider, not from you, and never affects the prices you see or our editorial rankings.

We disclose affiliate relationships on our About page and at the top of relevant pages.

Data Sharing

We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: We work with trusted third-party services (email delivery, analytics, hosting) who process data on our behalf and are bound by data processing agreements.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
  • Business transfers: If Smart Connections is acquired or merged, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before this happens.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information with advertisers or data brokers.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time
  • Opt out of analytics tracking (via browser do-not-track or cookie settings)

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
