Privacy policy
WhichPhoneToBuy (whichphonetobuy.com) is run by 3AM SaaS. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do with it.
Last updated
The short version
- There are no accounts: you can use every page without signing in, and we don’t sell personal data.
- The size tool’s screen calibration is saved only in your own browser.
- We count visits with privacy-first analytics. Google Analytics runs only on public pages, and in the EU, UK and Switzerland only if you say yes.
- Ask us to see or delete your data at any time: 3amsaas.com.
When you browse
Our servers and our CDN (Cloudflare) receive the standard information every website gets: your IP address, browser user agent, the page requested and when. It is used to serve the site, keep it secure and fix problems, and is kept only in short-lived server logs.
We use Simple Analytics to count page views. It sets no cookies and collects no personal data.
We also use Google Analytics 4 on public pages to understand which phones and comparisons people find useful. It uses Google’s Consent Mode: advertising storage and ad personalisation are always off. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics cookies are only set if you accept them in the banner; elsewhere they are on by default. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer. Your choice itself is stored in your browser’s local storage, not in a cookie. Google’s handling of this data is described in how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
If you calibrate the size tool’s “Actual size” view, the result (one number: how many screen pixels make a millimetre) is kept in your browser’s local storage so you don’t have to do it again. It never leaves your device.
Sponsor tiles are counted in aggregate: we record how many times each tile was shown and clicked per day, not who saw or clicked it. Clicking a tile takes you to the sponsor’s site through a short redirect, and from then on their privacy policy applies.
When you sponsor the site
The sponsor request form asks for your name, email, product name, website, tagline, a message and optionally a logo. We use them to review your request, set up your tile and contact you. To stop spam we store a one-way hash of your IP address with the request, never the address itself.
Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number; we keep the Stripe customer and subscription references needed to run and bill your tile. Emails about your request and tile are sent through SparkPost.
Who processes data for us

How long we keep it
Sponsor requests and billing records are kept as long as we need them for the sponsorship and for tax and accounting obligations. Server logs are kept only briefly.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, a correction, or its deletion. Where laws such as the GDPR apply, you can also object to or restrict processing and complain to your local data-protection authority. Write to 3amsaas.com and we’ll respond within 30 days.
Children
WhichPhoneToBuy is not directed at children under 16, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal data.
Changes
If we change this policy we’ll update the date at the top of this page. For how you may use the site itself, see the terms of use.
