What we collect
- + Your email address, only if you subscribe to The Brief, plus which page you subscribed from.
- + Sponsor enquiries you submit: name, company, email and message.
- + Anonymous usage events: which pages and tools are viewed and which outbound links are clicked. No profiles, no ad networks, no cross-site tracking.
Why we collect it
To send you the newsletter you asked for, to reply to your enquiry, and to understand which reviews are useful. That's it. We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not share it with our partners.
Cookies and local storage
We use your browser's local storage for two things you control: your light/dark preference and your saved tool shortlist. Both stay on your device. Affiliate partners you click through to may set their own cookies — their policies apply once you leave this site.
Your choices
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe. You can ask us to delete your email address, sponsor enquiry, or any data we hold about you at any time by writing to hi@bestcreates.com — we action removals within 30 days.
Processors
Site hosting and our database are provided by our infrastructure vendors, who process this data on our instructions only. If we add an email sending or analytics vendor, we will list it here.
