Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information GSM Alpha ("we", "us") collects when you use https://gsmalpha.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Contact form — your name, email address and message, used only to reply to you.
  • Newsletter — your email address, used only to send the newsletter you subscribed to.
  • Reviews — the name, email and review text you submit. Your name and review are published; your email never is.

Information collected automatically

  • Usage data — pages visited, device and browser type, and approximate country (used to show prices in your currency).
  • Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored by your browser, described below.

2. Cookies, analytics and advertising

We use cookies for the site to function (for example, remembering your currency and theme choice) and, with your consent, for analytics:

  • Google Analytics helps us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Analytics runs only after you accept the cookie banner.
  • Google AdSense serves the advertisements that keep the site free. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to show ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, and learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com.

You can decline analytics cookies in our banner and block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; core parts of the site will continue to work.

3. How we use information

  • To operate and improve the website and its features.
  • To respond to messages you send us.
  • To deliver the newsletter you asked for — every email includes an unsubscribe option.
  • To publish reviews you submit and keep the community free of spam and abuse.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers needed to run the site (such as hosting, email delivery, analytics and advertising partners listed above), each bound by their own privacy obligations, or where the law requires it.

5. Data retention and security

Contact messages and newsletter subscriptions are kept only as long as needed for their purpose, and we apply reasonable technical measures (encryption in transit, restricted access) to protect stored data. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR if you are in the EU/UK), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict its processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@gsmalpha.com — we respond to every request.

7. Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. The "last updated" date at the top always reflects the current version; significant changes will be highlighted on the site.
