Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Check Local is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

What we collect

• Email address — when you join our waitlist, so we can notify you at launch.
• Usage data — with your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. This data is anonymised and uses no personal identifiers.
• Cookie preferences — we store your cookie consent choice in a first-party cookie.

Cookies

We use essential cookies required for the site to function. With your consent, we also use analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) and marketing cookies (Mailchimp). See our Cookie Policy for full details.

Lawful basis

• Legitimate interest: essential cookies and site security.
• Consent: analytics cookies, marketing cookies, and marketing emails. You can withdraw consent at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
• Contract: processing your account data if you register.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with the services we use to operate the site (Google Analytics, Mailchimp) under their respective data processing agreements.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete your data, and to object to or restrict processing. To exercise any right, contact us at privacy@checklocal.co.uk.
