About & Policies
A plain-language overview of how Compare Proxy Zone handles the minimal data it collects as a static comparison hub and how affiliate links fit in.
Compare Proxy Zone is an independent comparison hub and knowledge base, not a proxy seller or data broker. This Privacy Policy explains, in plain language, what limited information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and the choices you have. We have tried to keep it readable rather than burying the important parts in legal jargon.
Because our site is primarily a static, informational resource, we collect far less data than a typical e-commerce or account-based platform. If anything here is unclear, you can always reach us at info@compareproxyzone.com.
Compare Proxy Zone collects only the minimal data a static comparison hub needs, never sells personal information, and clearly discloses affiliate links. This extension goes beyond the policy itself to explain practical points readers ask about: what an affiliate cookie actually does, how to make a data request, the difference between our data handling and a provider's, and what to check before you share details on a proxy seller's site.
This policy applies to visitors of compareproxyzone.com and to any email correspondence you send us. It does not cover the practices of third-party proxy providers we review or link to. When you leave our site by clicking through to a provider, that provider's own privacy policy and terms take over, and we encourage you to read them before signing up or sharing personal details.
We aim to collect as little as reasonably possible. The categories below describe what may be gathered when you use the site.
We use the limited data we hold to operate and improve the site, respond to your messages, understand which comparisons and guides readers find helpful, maintain security, and meet any legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not build advertising profiles about you.
Compare Proxy Zone may earn a commission when you click certain links to proxy providers and later make a purchase. This is how an independent resource like ours stays free to read. Affiliate relationships help fund our research, but they do not let providers buy a better verdict. Our comparisons remain value-focused and qualitative, and we flag honest limitations alongside strengths. When you follow an affiliate link, the destination provider may set its own cookies and process data under its own policy, which is outside our control.
To keep the site online and reasonably fast, we depend on third parties such as hosting, content delivery, and basic analytics providers. These services may process limited technical data on our behalf. We choose providers that we believe handle data responsibly, but we cannot guarantee the practices of every external party, and their handling of data is governed by their own policies.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Because we hold very little personal data, fulfilling many of these requests is usually straightforward.
We keep correspondence only as long as needed to handle your query and for reasonable record-keeping, after which it may be deleted. We apply sensible safeguards to protect the information we hold, though no method of transmission or storage over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Our content is intended for a general, professional audience researching proxy services. The site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age required by local law.
We may update this policy from time to time as our practices or the law evolve. When we make a meaningful change, we will revise the wording here. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically so you stay informed.
One common worry is that clicking an affiliate link hands your identity to us or to a provider. In practice, an affiliate link usually works by tagging the destination provider's site with a referral identifier so that, if you later buy, the provider knows the visit originated from our hub. That mechanism lives on the provider's domain, not ours. We typically learn only that a referral converted, not who you are. We do not see your name, payment details, or the contents of your order. Understanding this distinction helps you separate routine commission tracking from genuine personal-data collection.
Reading an independent comparison is among the lowest-risk activities online because nothing requires you to identify yourself. The meaningful privacy decisions arrive later: when you create an account with a proxy provider, enter payment information, or verify your identity for residential services. That is where data such as billing addresses, KYC documents, and usage logs may be collected. We encourage treating our pages as a safe research stage and reserving your scrutiny for the provider's signup flow, where the stakes for your personal information are far higher.
Since we do not run user accounts, the bulk of any personal data we hold is simply the emails you have chosen to send us. There is rarely a hidden trove to untangle, which is part of the benefit of a deliberately lean, static site.
Before sharing details with any proxy seller, skim its policy for a few revealing points: where the company is legally based, how long it retains connection logs, whether it shares data with partners, and how it handles deletion requests. A provider that is transparent about these tends to be transparent about its plans too. If you are comparing budget options, our featured value pick, Cheapest Proxies, is one of several you can evaluate on these same privacy questions rather than on price alone.
Comparing options before buying is not only about price and performance; it is also about who handles your data. Reading the privacy practices of each proxy provider you consider, alongside an independent resource like this one, helps you choose a service that fits both your budget and your tolerance for how information is collected and shared.
Compare Proxy Zone weighs providers on value, fit and reliability using qualitative judgement — never invented prices, speeds or uptime figures. See our review methodology, or email info@compareproxyzone.com with a correction.
No. We do not sell personal information or build advertising profiles. We collect only limited data needed to run the site and respond to messages.
Affiliate commissions keep our comparisons free to read. They fund our research but do not influence our verdicts, which stay independent and value-focused.
Once you leave our site, the provider's own privacy policy governs your data. We recommend reading that provider's policy before signing up or sharing details.
We may use a small number of cookies or similar tools to keep the site working and understand which guides help readers. You can control or block them in your browser.
Email us at info@compareproxyzone.com. Since we hold very little personal data, most such requests are quick to handle.
No. Our content is intended for a general, professional audience and is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors.
We update the wording on this page when our practices or the law change, so checking back periodically is the best way to stay informed.
