Privacy
The short version: we collect the minimum needed to run a website, we never sell personal data, and the only tracking tied to money is the affiliate-link attribution explained below. Last updated October 2026.
This site has no accounts and no sign-ups. When you visit, our analytics record standard, aggregate information: which pages were viewed, roughly where in the world the visit came from, and the type of device and browser used. We use this to understand which comparisons readers find useful and to keep the site working. We do not build profiles of individual readers.
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it only to reply and to handle your request — for example, verifying and publishing a price correction you sent us.
We use a small number of cookies for analytics and basic site function. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site will continue to work, and no content is locked behind accepting them.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one, the provider (or its affiliate network) may place a cookie in your browser so that, if you sign up, the provider can attribute the referral to this site and pay us a fee — the model described in how we make money. That tracking is operated by the provider under its own privacy policy, which applies once you are on the provider's site. The fee never changes your price.
Our comparisons link out to providers and other resources. Once you follow a link and leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy governs what it collects — we have no control over other sites' practices, and this policy covers only smbpayrollguide.com.
You may ask us what personal information we hold about you (in practice, only emails you have sent us), and you may ask us to delete it. Send any privacy request to the address on our contact page and we will handle it promptly. If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top.
