UK GDPR Compliance
At Bargain Hub, we are committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR). This page explains how we comply with your rights under UK GDPR, even though we do not store personal data through user registration or databases.
Scope and Applicability
The UK GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals in the UK. While Bargain Hub does not require users to register or create accounts, we may collect limited personal data through automated means such as cookies, web analytics, and server logs to improve our website functionality and user experience. This data is processed solely for legitimate business interests as permitted under UK GDPR.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK GDPR, you have the following rights:
- Right of access: You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of it.
- Right to rectification: You may request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data about you.
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may request we limit how we use your data under certain conditions.
- Right to data portability: You may request your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You may object to our processing of your data based on legitimate interests, including profiling or direct marketing.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
How We Comply
We do not maintain user profiles or databases of personal information. Any data collected via cookies or analytics tools is anonymized or aggregated where possible. We use only necessary cookies for site functionality and performance, with clear notice and opt-out mechanisms. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties for advertising purposes.
Data We Process
Under UK GDPR, the personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymized in analytics)
- Browser and device information (for site optimization)
- Cookie identifiers (for functionality and preference settings)
- Usage patterns (aggregated and anonymized)
No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details are collected or stored by Bargain Hub.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal data is based on legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. This includes improving website performance, ensuring security, and delivering a better user experience. We conduct regular balancing tests to ensure our interests do not override your rights and freedoms.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights under UK GDPR, please contact us by email at [email protected]. Include your full name, the right you wish to exercise, and any relevant details (e.g., IP address or cookie ID if known). We will respond without undue delay and within one month.
Response Timeframes
We are required by UK GDPR to respond to your requests within one month of receipt. In complex cases, this may be extended by two further months, and we will inform you if this occurs.
No Discrimination Policy
We will not deny you access to our services, charge different prices, or provide a different quality of service because you exercised your rights under UK GDPR.

We may update this page periodically to reflect changes in law or our practices. The most recent version will always be posted here with an updated effective date.
