Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 September 2026

Overview

top7tools.uk ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, as regulated by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). This policy explains how we handle your personal information when you visit our website.

Information We Collect

top7tools.uk is a static content website. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use our site. This is everything that is collected:

  • Newsletter sign-ups (closed 15 October 2026): The newsletter was discontinued and its sign-up form removed, so no new addresses are collected. An address entered before then is stored with the date it was entered and nothing else, held in Cloudflare's storage, not used for anything, and never sold or shared. Email support@top7tools.uk and it is deleted.
  • Cookies: Amazon places cookies on your device when you click an affiliate link on our site. These cookies are used by Amazon to track referrals from our site.
  • Analytics: We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not fingerprint or track individual visitors. It reports page views and referrers in aggregate.
  • Affiliate click counts: When you click a link to Amazon, we record the product and the page it was clicked from so we know which picks are useful. No identifier for you is stored.
  • Web fonts: Fonts are bundled with the site and served from our own domain, so your browser does not request them from a third party.
  • Hosting: Our site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process your IP address, browser type, and pages visited in order to serve and protect the site.

Cookies

We set no tracking or advertising cookies of our own. Cookies on this site are limited to the following:

  • Your browser's local storage: The "Jump back in" links on the homepage remember which categories you last read. That list is kept in your own browser, is never sent to us, and disappears if you clear your site data.
  • Amazon affiliate cookies: When you click a product link to Amazon, Amazon places cookies to track the referral. These cookies are set by Amazon on Amazon's own site and are governed by Amazon's privacy policy.

Because this site sets no cookies of its own, there is no cookie banner.

How We Use Information

A newsletter email address collected before 15 October 2026 is not used for anything. Click counts are used to see which pages and picks readers find useful. We do not build profiles, and we do not sell or share data with advertisers. Data processed by Amazon and Cloudflare in the course of providing their services is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Third-Party Services

Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access any personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction or erasure of inaccurate information
  • Object to, or request that we restrict, how your information is used
  • Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk

The only personal information this site holds is a newsletter email address, if you gave us one. To see it, correct it or have it deleted, email support@top7tools.uk. For data held by Amazon or Cloudflare, those rights are exercised with them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
