Privacy Policy

CheckRate (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates checkrate.net(the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. What We Collect

CheckRate is a read-only comparison tool. We do not require account registration and do not process any financial transactions. The data we collect is limited to:

• Usage data — pages visited, corridors or providers viewed, time on page, browser type, and approximate location (country level). Collected via anonymous analytics.
• Referral clicks— when you click a provider link, we record that an outbound referral occurred. We do not track what you do on the provider's website.
• Contact form submissions — if you contact us via email or a future contact form, we store your name, email address, and message content.

2. How We Use Your Data

• To improve the Platform and understand which corridors and providers are most useful.
• To detect and prevent abuse or automated scraping of rate data.
• To respond to support enquiries.
• To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your data to third parties.

3. Cookies

We use essential cookies required for the Platform to function (e.g. session management). We may use analytics cookies (e.g. a privacy-respecting analytics provider) to understand aggregate usage patterns. We do not use advertising cookies.

4. Third-Party Links

CheckRate contains links to third-party remittance providers (Lemfi, Taptap Send, Sendwave, Remitly, Wise, Remitbee, Pesa, WorldRemit, and others). We may earn a referral commission when you use these links. These providers operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

5. Data Retention

Anonymous usage data is retained for up to 24 months. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months unless required longer by law.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@checkrate.net.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
