Privacy notice
In short
No account, no basket, no advertising or analytics cookies. We never ask for your name or address. Only if you use the price alert do we store your email address – and only until you unsubscribe.

What we process and why
- Hosting. The site is delivered by Cloudflare. Technical connection data such as IP address, time and browser details are processed to deliver the pages and protect them from attacks. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Settings in your browser. Your chosen size, "shopping for" and sort order are stored only in your browser's local storage. They are never sent to us and you can clear them in your browser settings at any time.
- Visitor statistics (GoatCounter). To see which pages are read and how often links to Amazon are clicked, we use GoatCounter (operated by Martin Tournoij, Ireland; servers at Hetzner in Germany and Finland). GoatCounter stores nothing in your browser (no cookies or local storage), does not store IP addresses and builds no profiles. Your IP address and browser details are used briefly to work out your country and recognise repeat visits, using a random ID held in memory for at most 8 hours. Only aggregated values are stored: page viewed, referring page, browser, operating system, screen width, language and country. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) in privacy-friendly audience measurement. You can block it with any ad or script blocker.
- Email. If you write to us, we use your address and message only to reply. Lawful basis: legitimate interests.
Price alert by email
If you use the price alert, we process:
- your email address and your choices (size, who for, category),
- the times you signed up, confirmed and were last emailed,
- which deals we have already sent you (so you don't get them twice).
Purpose and lawful basis: we send you at most one email a day with genuine deals in your size. The lawful basis is your consent (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(a); regulation 22 of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations). We use double opt-in: the alert only starts once you click the link in our confirmation email. We keep the sign-up and confirmation times as a record of your consent.
Preventing abuse: to stop anyone signing up other people's addresses in bulk, we keep a shortened, one-way hash of your IP address for 24 hours when you sign up. Your IP address cannot be read from it. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).
Service providers: the data is stored in a Cloudflare database (located in Western Europe). Emails are sent through Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, 106 boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris, France). Both act as our processors under a data processing agreement. For technical reasons Brevo records whether an email is opened or a link is clicked. We have set this to anonymous tracking: the data is not linked to your email address, and we don't analyse it on a personal level. Links in the emails lead to FairSole, not directly to a retailer.
How long we keep it and withdrawing consent: you can withdraw consent at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email, or by emailing info@fairsole.com. We then delete your address and choices straight away. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted automatically after 7 days.
When you go to a retailer
"Go to shop" sends you to the retailer through an affiliate network link. The retailer and network use their own cookies or similar technology to credit the sale to FairSole; they are responsible for that and their own privacy notices apply. Your order details never reach us – we only see aggregated commission reports.
International transfers
Cloudflare may process data on servers outside the UK. Such transfers rely on the safeguards UK data protection law provides, such as adequacy regulations or the International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long we keep data
Apart from the price alert (see above), we don't keep personal data ourselves. Emails are deleted once the matter is closed. The host's technical logs follow its own retention periods.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct and erase your data, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. Email info@fairsole.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
