1. Introduction
Welcome to eSIM Expart (accessible at esimexpart.com). We are committed to protecting your personal data and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

2. Information We Collect
We collect information primarily through automated means (like website analytics) and directly from you (when you choose to interact with us).
A. Personal Information You Disclose
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when expressing an interest in obtaining information about us or our products, when participating in activities on the website, or otherwise contacting us. This may include:
- Name and Email Address: If you sign up for our newsletter, leave comments, or use a contact form.
- Usage Preferences: Any data you input into tools like the “Savings Calculator” (e.g., destination, duration) may be temporarily processed to provide a result, but is not stored long-term unless you opt into analytics tracking.
B. Information Collected Automatically (Cookies & Analytics)
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the website. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as:
- IP address and Browser type.
- Operating system and Device name.
- Referral URLs (the website that brought you to us).
- Usage Data (pages viewed, time spent on those pages, clicks, and scrolling behavior).
This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our website, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes (e.g., using Google Analytics).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information collected via our website for a variety of purposes described below:
- To Improve User Experience: To ensure content is presented in the most effective manner for you and your computer/device.
- To Personalize Content: To display relevant eSIM deals, comparisons, and articles based on your browsing history and interests.
- For Analytics and Reporting: To measure the performance of our content and tools (like the Savings Calculator) and understand where our audience is coming from.
- To Send Marketing and Promotional Communications: If you opted in to our newsletter, we may use your email address to send you information regarding new articles, eSIM deals, and special offers.
- To Facilitate Affiliate Transactions (Crucial): To properly track and credit affiliate links, which allows us to operate the website (see Section 5).
4. Disclosure on Affiliate Links and Tracking
eSIM Expart is an independent comparison and review website funded solely by affiliate commissions.
- Affiliate Tracking: When you click on a link that directs you to an eSIM provider (e.g., Airalo, Holafly, Nomad), that link may contain a unique tracking code (an affiliate tag). This tag allows the provider to know that you were referred by eSIM Expart.
- Data Shared: We do not share your personal data (name, email) with the affiliate providers. The providers use cookies or similar technology to record the click and credit our site with a commission if you make a purchase.
- User Impact: Using these links does not increase the price you pay for the eSIM; in many cases, it allows us to secure special deals that save you money.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.
- What are cookies? Cookies are small data files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are used to recognize your device and remember information about your visit.
- Your Choices: Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies. However, this may affect the functionality of our website and other sites you visit.
6. Third-Party Websites
Our website contains links to third-party websites (e.g., the websites of eSIM providers). Once you have used these links to leave our site, any information you provide is governed by the Privacy Policy of that external site, and we cannot be held responsible for the protection and privacy of that information.
