Introduction
Protein Pitstop (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is an affiliate content website. We do not sell products directly, process payments, or collect transaction details. Purchases made via our links are handled securely by the retailer or platform you are redirected to.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in line with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information We Collect
We collect very limited information:
- Contact Information: If you email us via the Contact page, we receive your email address and any details you choose to provide in your message.
- Affiliate Reporting: As part of our affiliate relationships, we receive anonymous reports about clicks and orders made through our links. These reports do not include your name, email address, or any personally identifying information — only aggregated, anonymous data such as number of clicks, items ordered, and commissions earned.
We do not collect payment details, create customer accounts, or track your browsing activity outside of anonymous affiliate reporting.
How We Use Information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Respond to enquiries you send us.
- Monitor affiliate performance via anonymous reporting from our affiliate partners.
- Comply with programme rules and legal obligations.
Cookies and Tracking
We do not set any non‑essential cookies. If we introduce analytics, advertising or other technologies that use cookies in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share data only if required by law.
When you click a product link, the retailer or affiliate platform may collect information directly — this is covered by that retailer’s own privacy policy and terms.
Data Security & Retention
We take appropriate steps to keep your data secure. However, no system is entirely infallible, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
We retain personal data only as long as necessary:
- Contact emails are kept until your enquiry is resolved (unless required longer by law).
- Affiliate reporting data remains within our partners’ systems — we do not control or store it ourselves.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we process personal data on the following lawful bases:
- Consent: when you choose to contact us and provide your information.
- Legitimate Interest: to operate and improve our website.
- Legal Obligation: to comply with the requirements of our affiliate programmes and applicable laws.
Your Rights
You have rights under UK GDPR, including the right to:
- Access a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your data.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
To exercise your rights, pleasecontact us.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law or our practices. When we do, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the “last modified” date accordingly.
