Welcome to VinylHunter.uk (the "Website"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal data we collect. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data collected on this Website, including our use of cookies and marketing tools.
We do not require users to create accounts, sign in, or provide direct contact details (such as names or email addresses) to browse the listings dashboard.
However, we collect certain analytics and usage metrics automatically, including:
We process your data under the following lawful bases in accordance with UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR):
| Purpose | Data Processed | Lawful Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Website operation | Technical & device data | Legitimate Interests (providing a functional service) |
| Anonymous voting | Vote selections & rate-limit tokens | Legitimate Interests (preventing voting abuse) |
| Analytics | Anonymized usage metrics | Consent |
| Meta advertising & custom audiences | Meta Pixel tracking events | Consent |
| Affiliate tracking | Click & referral indicators | Legitimate Interests (referral performance measurement) |
| Enquiry responses | Contact email & message contents | Legitimate Interests (answering visitor questions) |
We use cookies to improve your user experience, customize the deal sorting options, and analyze site traffic.
We also use a first-party cookie and related server-side signals to remember your vote choices, prevent duplicate voting abuse, and rate-limit repeated vote submissions.
We have integrated the Meta Pixel on our Website. The Meta Pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that allows us to track visitor activity, measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, and build targeted custom audiences for our social media postings on Facebook and Instagram.
The Meta Pixel will only load on your device once you have explicitly granted consent via our cookie settings banner. Meta collects and processes this data in accordance with their own Data Policy, which you can read at facebook.com/about/privacy.
This Website contains affiliate links. When you click on an eBay listing link on our dashboard, you will be redirected to the eBay page using a specialized affiliate tracking link (eBay Partner Network / EPN). If you complete a purchase, we may receive a small commission from eBay at no additional cost to you.
Our dashboard displays listings from third-party marketplaces (eBay) and verifies metadata/valuations using the Discogs API. Once you click a link and leave our Website, you are governed by the privacy policies and terms of those third-party platforms.
You have the right to manage your tracking preferences. Optional cookies and tracking technologies (such as the Meta Pixel) are only loaded after you have provided your explicit consent through our privacy banner. You can withdraw your consent, disable cookies in your browser settings, or opt-out of personalized tracking through your Meta account preferences at any time.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, taking into account legal, accounting, and operational requirements:
VinylHunter.uk is operated by Ian Wandless as the legal data controller.
If you have any questions, rights requests, or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
