We don't have forms or accounts on this site, we don't sell personal data, and we don't use advertising or profiling cookies. Pages use fonts already installed on your device, so no font service receives your details.

Analytics and cookies

Google Analytics only runs if you choose "Accept analytics" in our cookie banner. If you reject, or ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time using "Cookie settings" in the footer. Our cookie policy lists the cookies used.

Google acts as our data processor for analytics. Google may transfer data outside the UK, under safeguards such as standard contractual clauses. See Google's privacy policy.

When you leave our site

When you follow a link to Tide or another provider, their privacy policy applies, not ours. Providers and affiliate networks may use cookies or tracking parameters in the link to record that you came from us, so a referral reward can be paid. We don't receive your name or account details from providers. See each provider's privacy policy, for example Tide's privacy policy.

How long we keep data

  • Server logs: kept by Hostinger for as long as needed to run and secure the hosting service, under Hostinger's own policies.
  • Analytics data: kept in Google Analytics for the retention period we set in Google Analytics, after which it is deleted.
  • Emails: kept only as long as needed to deal with your message, and deleted when no longer needed.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. Email hello@startupdeals.co.uk. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Changes to this policy

We'll update this page if the way we use data changes.
