eSIM Spotter helps travelers compare eSIM plans, providers, prices, coverage, and plan features. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Controller and privacy contact

The controller for this website is Individual Entrepreneur Sergey Shesternev, business identification number 305619541, registered at Georgia, Tbilisi, Vake District, Besarion Zhgenti Street, N 49, Floor 1, Apartment N20. Privacy and data-rights requests can be sent to legal@esimspotter.com.

Information we collect

Preference data such as language and currency.
Consent records: consent id, policy version, timestamp, categories, method, and locale.
Internal product metrics such as page type, destination country, provider slug, price bucket, locale, event type, and timestamp.
Affiliate redirect logs such as plan id, provider, destination country, price, timestamp, referrer, user agent, click id, and a salted IP hash. The IP hash is pseudonymous personal data, not anonymous data.
Messages you send to us by email or contact forms, if enabled.

We do not need your passport, phone number, travel documents, or payment card details to compare plans. Purchases and checkout happen on provider websites.

Legal bases

Essential site operation, security, fraud prevention, debugging, and lightweight server-side metrics: legitimate interests.
Language/currency preferences and consent storage: requested preference / legitimate interests for operating the site.
Non-essential analytics and persistent affiliate attribution cookies: consent.
Responding to messages you send us: legitimate interests or steps requested by you before a contract, based on the nature of the request.
Legal compliance and claims: legal obligation or legitimate interests.

Cookies, local storage, and consent

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`NEXT_LOCALE`	Cookie	Remember selected language.	Up to 12 months
`currency`	Local storage	Remember selected display currency.	Until changed or cleared
`cookie-consent`	Local storage	Remember consent choices in the browser.	Until changed or cleared
`esim_consent`	HttpOnly cookie	Allow the server to apply the consent choices, including affiliate attribution gating.	Up to 180 days
`aff_click_id`	HttpOnly cookie	Affiliate attribution after consent.	30 days
Umami Cloud	Analytics	Audience measurement after analytics consent.	Controlled by the analytics provider

You can change or withdraw consent at any time through the Cookie settings link in the footer. Withdrawing affiliate attribution consent deletes the persistent affiliate click cookie for future redirects.

Affiliate links and redirects

Some deal buttons route through /r/... before sending you to a provider. If affiliate attribution consent is enabled, we may set a first-party aff_click_id cookie for 30 days. If consent is rejected or unknown, the redirect still works without a persistent affiliate cookie. We may still keep a minimal server-side click log under legitimate interests for reporting, abuse prevention, debugging, and commission reconciliation.

Internal metrics

Our internal /api/events endpoint records lightweight product metrics without setting cookies or reading device identifiers. We use this to understand which pages and filters work, measure funnel health, and improve the service. You can object by contacting legal@esimspotter.com.

Sharing, service providers, and destination sites

Server infrastructure: hosts the website, API, and database and may process website requests, technical logs, consent records, internal events, and affiliate click records.
Cloudflare: provides DNS, content delivery, traffic routing, and security services and may process IP addresses, request headers, and security-related information.
Umami Cloud: provides audience analytics when analytics is enabled under the visitor's consent choices.
MobiMatter: supplies plan and pricing information and is an affiliate destination for some offers. If you follow a MobiMatter link, your browser connects to MobiMatter and its own privacy notice applies.
Email provider: processes messages sent to our email addresses.

Other eSIM providers reached through the site are separate organisations. Their privacy notices apply after you leave eSIM Spotter.

International processing

Visitors may access eSIM Spotter from any country. Website requests pass through Cloudflare and then to our server infrastructure. If analytics is enabled under the visitor's consent choices, the browser also sends analytics requests to Umami Cloud. When a visitor follows an affiliate link, the browser connects to MobiMatter or another eSIM provider. These services may process information in countries other than the visitor's country. Processing performed by a destination provider is governed by that provider's privacy notice.

Retention

Internal events and affiliate click logs: currently 90 days.
Persistent affiliate cookie: 30 days after consent.
Consent records: up to 397 days, unless a longer period is required for legal claims or compliance.
Email correspondence: for as long as reasonably needed to answer the request and maintain any necessary business or legal record.

Your rights

Your rights vary by location. You may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, port, or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also have the right to complain to a competent data-protection authority. Contact legal@esimspotter.com to make a request.

Changes

We may update this Policy when the service or our data practices change. The current version and its effective date are published on this page.
