Introduction
Welcome to RemitSelect. We operate remitselect.com — a free, independent comparison platform that helps individuals find international money transfer providers. We maintain appropriate safeguards for any data we collect.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our platform, how it is used, and the choices available to you. It applies to all visitors and users of remitselect.com and associated services.
RemitSelect operates as a comparison and referral service — we do not process money transfers ourselves. When you click through to a provider, that transaction is subject to the provider's privacy policy and data protection practices.
By using RemitSelect, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our platform. For questions, contact us at contact@remitselect.com.
This policy was last updated on 1 April 2025. We reserve the right to update this policy at any time.

| Personal Data | Name, email address (if you contact us) | When you submit a contact form | Communication |

We do not collect payment details, bank account numbers, or government identification as part of using the comparison tool. Contact form submissions may be retained for support and record-keeping purposes.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for the following purposes:
- Delivering the comparison service — processing your transfer query to display relevant provider results and rates
- Improving platform accuracy — using aggregate data to identify popular corridors and improve result relevance
- Communications — responding to enquiries you submit via contact form
- Security and abuse prevention — detecting unusual activity and protecting platform integrity
- Legal compliance — retaining records as required by applicable law

Cookies Policy
RemitSelect uses cookies to enhance your experience and understand platform usage. We use the following categories of cookies:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies — essential for platform functionality including session cookies and security tokens
- Functional Cookies — remember your preferences to improve your experience on return visits
- Analytics Cookies — help us understand how visitors use RemitSelect
- Referral Cookies — track when users click through to providers from RemitSelect for attribution purposes
You can manage cookies through the Cookie Preferences panel accessible from our website footer or through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect platform functionality.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data in these circumstances:
- Analytics providers — we share anonymised, aggregated data with analytics tools to understand platform performance
- Infrastructure providers — our hosting providers process data on our behalf under data processing agreements
- Email service providers — if you have opted in to communications, we use third-party email platforms to deliver them
- Legal obligations — we may disclose data to law enforcement or regulators where required by law
- Business transfers — in case of merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred to the acquiring entity
Important: When you click through to a remittance provider, you leave our platform and enter their service. That provider's privacy policy, not ours, governs your data.
Data Security
RemitSelect implements technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access and loss.
- TLS / HTTPS encryption — data transmitted between your browser and RemitSelect is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
- Data minimisation — we collect only what is necessary for operation
- Access controls — personal data is accessible only to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis
- Security reviews — we periodically review our systems for vulnerabilities
- Processor agreements — third-party services processing data are bound by data protection agreements
- Incident response — we maintain breach response procedures and will notify users where legally required
No internet transmission is completely secure. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us at contact@remitselect.com.
Data retention: We retain personal data only as long as necessary for stated purposes or as required by law. Aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it contains no personal information.
Third-Party Links & Providers
RemitSelect contains links to external money transfer providers. When you click through to a provider, you are leaving RemitSelect and entering that provider's independent platform.
Third-party platforms operate under their own privacy policies and terms. RemitSelect is not responsible for third-party privacy practices or content. We recommend reviewing a provider's Privacy Policy before proceeding.
Before completing a transfer, you should:
- Review the provider's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service
- Verify their regulatory status with relevant authorities (e.g. FCA Register in the UK)
- Confirm their website uses HTTPS encryption
- Note their contact and complaints procedure
RemitSelect may receive a referral commission from providers when a transfer is completed following a click from our platform. This does not result in additional cost to users nor affect displayed rates or fees.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in practices, legal requirements, or services offered. When we make material changes, we will:
- Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
- Display a notice on our website
- Send notification email to users who have opted in to communications where applicable
Your continued use of RemitSelect after an updated policy's effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
