Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy notice explains how side-by-side-phone-plan-comparator.hub2.day (“PlanSide: Phone Plan Comparator”, “the site”, or “we”) handles information when you use our phone plan comparison tool. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps individuals and families compare carrier plans based on their actual usage. We aim to be transparent about what data is collected, why, and what choices you have.

What We Collect and Why

Browser-Local Inputs

The usage details you enter (such as minutes, texts, and data) are processed in your browser to generate plan comparisons. These inputs are generally stored only in your browser (for example, using local storage) so you can revisit or adjust them without re-entering everything. We do not automatically receive or store these inputs on our servers unless you explicitly submit them to us (for example, via a contact form or feedback).

Contact Email

If you contact us at hello@side-by-side-phone-plan-comparator.hub2.day, we will use your email address and message solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use contact emails for marketing unless you separately opt in, and we do not sell or rent contact information.

Server and Security Logs

Our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as IP addresses, request timestamps, URLs, and browser details. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, and basic troubleshooting. They are not used to build personal profiles and are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use cookies and similar technologies (including local storage) to:

• Remember your preferences and settings.
• Support core functionality, such as saving your comparison inputs locally.
• Deliver and measure advertising, if you consent where required.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

Advertising and Third-Party Ad Partners

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. These technologies may collect information such as:

• Your IP address.
• Browser and device information.
• Pages visited and interactions.
• Approximate location derived from IP address.

Google may use this information to personalize ads and measure their performance. You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your preferences at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://www.google.com/settings/ads.

Consent for Users in the EEA, UK, and Similar Jurisdictions

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or other regions that require consent for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising, we will seek your consent before allowing advertising-related cookies or similar technologies to operate. You can change your choices at any time through the consent mechanism provided on the site, if available, or by adjusting your browser settings.

CCPA/CPRA-Style Choices (California and Similar Jurisdictions)

If you are a California resident (or in a similar jurisdiction with comparable rights), you may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising, as defined under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise this choice, you can:

• Use any “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or mechanism we provide.
• Adjust your cookie consent settings where available.
• Contact us at hello@side-by-side-phone-plan-comparator.hub2.day with your request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers for hosting, analytics, advertising, and basic site operations. These providers may process information on our behalf, but only to the extent necessary to perform their services and subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice, or as required by law. For example:

• Contact emails are retained as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable follow-up.
• Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes.
• Browser-local data remains in your browser until you clear it or until it expires according to our storage rules.

Children’s Privacy

The site is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@side-by-side-phone-plan-comparator.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The site may contain links to carrier websites, plan pages, or other third-party services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

International Processing

If you access the site from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions. We take reasonable steps to ensure that such transfers are handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

• Accessing, correcting, or deleting personal information we hold about you.
• Objecting to or restricting certain processing.
• Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent.
• Opting out of targeted advertising or the sale/sharing of personal information where applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@side-by-side-phone-plan-comparator.hub2.day. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and as required by applicable law.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will reflect the most recent changes. Continued use of the site after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated notice.
