Privacy

Privacy Policy

Private Health Compass is a static information site. We do not run user accounts, patient records, or medical consultations.

Who controls your data

Private Health Compass is the publisher and data controller for this site. We are an independent UK information and comparison publisher, not a healthcare provider. For any privacy question, email [email protected].

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand broad site usage, such as pages viewed, device type, referral source, and approximate location. Analytics helps us see which pages need maintenance. It does not let us identify you by name. Analytics stays switched off until you accept the cookie banner, using Google Consent Mode.

Email contact

If you email us, we receive your email address and anything you choose to include in the message. We use that information to review the request and respond where appropriate. Do not send medical records or sensitive health information.

Affiliate and external links

Some outbound links may be affiliate links. If you click one, the affiliate network or destination site may record that the referral came from Private Health Compass. External websites have their own privacy policies and controls.

Cookies

Analytics cookies are set to denied by default and only run if you accept the cookie banner. Affiliate destination sites may set their own cookies once you click through. You can limit or block cookies in your browser, and the site remains readable if you block non-essential cookies. Our cookie policy lists the specific cookies and how to change your choice.

Legal basis for using your data

Under UK data protection law we rely on your consent for analytics cookies, which is why they stay off until you accept. When you email us, we rely on our legitimate interest in reviewing and responding to your message. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

How long we keep data

Aggregate analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for a limited period and is not tied to your identity. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle the request and any follow-up, then deleted.

International transfers

Google Analytics may process data on servers outside the UK. Google states that it applies appropriate safeguards for such transfers. If you would rather no analytics data is processed at all, press Reject on the cookie banner.

Your rights

You have the right to ask what data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to object to or restrict its use, and to data portability. Because this is a static site with no accounts, most requests relate only to emails you have sent us. Email [email protected] to make a request.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would appreciate the chance to resolve it first.
