Privacy Policy

At Best eSIM Guide, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you visit our website. We've written this policy in plain language because we believe you deserve to understand exactly what happens with your data.

Information We Collect

When you visit Best eSIM Guide, we collect two types of information: information you provide directly and information collected automatically.

Information you provide: If you contact us through our contact form or email, we'll receive your name, email address, and whatever message you send. We only use this information to respond to your inquiry—we don't add you to marketing lists unless you explicitly ask to be added.

Information collected automatically: Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, and the website that referred you to us. This information helps us understand how people use our site so we can make it better.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your questions, comments, or support requests
  • To improve our website content and user experience
  • To understand how visitors navigate our site and which articles are most helpful
  • To detect and prevent spam, fraud, or security issues
  • To comply with legal obligations when required

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. Period. We're in the business of helping travelers find the best eSIM, not selling data.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—to improve your browsing experience. Here's what you need to know about the cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to function properly, like remembering your preferences during a session.
  • Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. These cookies collect anonymous, aggregated data about page views and user behavior.
  • Advertising cookies: Google AdSense uses cookies to display relevant ads. These cookies may track your browsing activity across different websites to show you personalized advertisements.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, accept all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies may affect how some websites function.

Google AdSense and Advertising

We display advertisements on our website through Google AdSense to help support the free content we provide. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

You have choices about personalized advertising. You can opt out of personalized ads by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also visit aboutads.info to opt out of third-party advertising cookies.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to better understand our audience and improve our content. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they view, and what other sites they visited before coming here. We use this data in aggregate form to see trends—we don't use it to identify individual visitors.

Google Analytics uses cookies and may share data with other Google services. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Links and Partnerships

Our website contains affiliate links to eSIM providers like Airalo, Holafly, and others. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This is how we keep the site running and the content free.

We want to be crystal clear: affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations. We only recommend products and services that we genuinely believe will help our readers. If we think a provider isn't worth your money, we'll say so—even if they offer a higher commission.

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to external websites, including eSIM provider sites, app stores, and other resources. Once you leave our site, we have no control over these external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website you visit, as their practices may differ from ours.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to secure data in transit. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. If you contact us, we'll keep your correspondence for up to 2 years so we can reference it if you reach out again. Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention settings (26 months by default).

Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You can ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data.
  • Opt-out: You can opt out of personalized advertising and analytics tracking.
  • Portability: You can request your data in a portable format.

If you're in the European Economic Area (EEA), your rights are protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you're a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides similar protections. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

Children's Privacy

Best eSIM Guide is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.

International Visitors

Our website is operated from the United States. If you're visiting from outside the US, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States. By using our website, you consent to this transfer.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact us and we'll respond as quickly as possible.
