Privacy & data
Understand what is measured and stay in control of your choice.
2026-09-18Favorites and member accounts
Optional ChatGPT sign-in saves favorite firm IDs and a selected comparison under your site-specific user ID. These records are separate from analytics and are not public. Guest favorites stay in browser storage. Use My Gate to delete your saved data or sign out; signing out does not delete account saves.
Contact submissions
The contact form stores the name, reply email, message, related account and source link you choose to submit. Only the operator can read these records to handle corrections, support or partnership inquiries. Records older than 180 days are removed in batches during new submissions. A daily hashed network identifier limits spam and is cleared after two days during new submissions; raw IP addresses are not stored in the inquiry table. You can request deletion through the contact form using your reference number.
Your choice
Usage analytics starts only after you choose “Allow analytics”. You can use every comparison feature without accepting. Browser Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals disable analytics.
What we measure
We store random browser and session identifiers, page paths, selected interface language, approximate country when available, device category, referrer domain and UTM campaign labels. Events include page views, filter use, comparisons, calculator changes, outbound clicks, scroll depth and active time. We do not store form text, raw IP addresses, names, emails, keystrokes or screen recordings in analytics.
Storage and retention
The dashboard displays the latest 90 days. Older analytics records are removed in batches when new analytics is received. Only the authorized operator can access these records. Consent and preferences are stored on your device. Withdrawal stops future tracking and removes local analytics identifiers; existing records are removed through this cleanup process. Hosting and sign-in providers may process connection and account information to operate the service.
How counts work
Visitors represent browser identifiers, not verified individuals. A new device or cleared storage can count as a new visitor. Sessions are tab-specific and restart after 30 minutes of inactivity. Official website clicks do not prove registration, purchases or payouts. Operator visits and recognized bots are excluded.
Operator access
The public directory does not require a login. The analytics dashboard uses ChatGPT sign-in and a server-side operator allowlist. The operator’s sign-in identity is used for access control and is kept separate from visitor analytics.
