Privacy policy

This is a sample policy provided as a starting template. Have it reviewed by qualified legal counsel and tailored to your jurisdiction before going live.

Who we are

PayCompare (“we”, “us”) operates an independent directory and review platform for payment processors. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and your choices.

Information we collect

• Information you provide. When you write a review, request a quote, submit your processor, or contact us, we collect the details you enter — such as your name, email, business information, and message.
• Review email addresses are collected solely to verify that a reviewer is a genuine merchant. They are kept private and are never displayed publicly or sold.
• Usage data. We collect aggregate, privacy-friendly analytics about how pages and links are used (for example, clicks on “Visit website”) to improve the site.

How we use information

• To publish moderated reviews and keep ratings accurate.
• To respond to quote requests, listing submissions, and contact messages.
• To understand site usage and improve our content and rankings.
• To detect and prevent spam and abuse.

Sharing

We don’t sell your personal information. When you request a quote, we may pass the details you provide to the relevant processor so they can respond. We use service providers (such as hosting and email) who process data on our behalf under appropriate safeguards.

Affiliate links

Some outbound links are affiliate or sponsored links. If you follow one and sign up, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. See our methodology for how this is disclosed.

Your choices

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of the information you’ve submitted by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA.
