Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 June 2026

1. Who we are

NestWise is operated by Catalyst Marketing Agency Limited (Companies House No. 07413227), registered at Seven Stars House, 1 Wheler Road, Coventry, CV3 4LB. We are the data controller for any personal data processed through this website.

Contact for privacy matters: hello@sitelightning.com | +44 121 296 5275

This policy is written in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 (in force from 5 February 2026).

2. What NestWise does

NestWise is a free consumer education and Cash ISA rate comparison website. We publish information about savings rates and provide links to third-party financial product providers via affiliate partnerships. We do not collect personal contact details, sell financial products, or provide regulated financial advice.

When you click an "Apply" link on this site, you are redirected to a third-party provider's website where their own terms and privacy policy apply.

3. What data we collect and why

Data Purpose Legal basis (UK GDPR)
IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL Website security, server-side logging, and aggregated traffic analysis Art. 6(1)(f) — Legitimate interests
Outbound click data (which rate link was clicked, timestamp, referring page) Affiliate commission attribution and content performance measurement Art. 6(1)(f) — Legitimate interests
Cookie consent preference (stored in browser localStorage) Remembering your consent choice so we do not ask again Art. 6(1)(c) — Legal obligation (PECR)

We do not collect your name, email address, or phone number. No personal contact details are submitted through this website.

4. Affiliate disclosure and third-party links

NestWise earns affiliate commission when a user clicks a rate link on this site and subsequently applies for a product at a partner provider. This commission is paid by the provider and does not affect the rate or terms you receive.

Links marked "Apply" are affiliate links. Clicking them redirects you to the provider's own website. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of third-party sites. We recommend you review the provider's privacy policy before submitting any personal information to them.

Our affiliate relationships include rate comparison networks and direct partnerships with UK savings providers. Rates displayed on this site are sourced from MoneyFacts and updated regularly, but may not always reflect the current live rate.

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Aggregated, non-identifiable click data is shared with affiliate networks solely to attribute and process commission payments.

We use Vercel Inc. (San Francisco, CA, USA) as our hosting provider. Vercel processes server log data as part of standard hosting operations. Transfer to the USA is covered by Standard Contractual Clauses (UK Addendum to EU Commission decision 2021/914).

6. Cookies and tracking

We use only a single essential preference stored in localStorage to remember your cookie consent choice. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

9. No automated decision-making

We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

10. International transfers

Where data is transferred outside the UK (e.g. to Vercel's US infrastructure), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (UK Addendum) to ensure appropriate safeguards.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top.
