UK Owned, UK Operated

As concerns around privacy and legal jurisdiction grow, here is how Winklr keeps data handling simple: if we do not need it, we do not collect it.
Why we are sharing this now
People are asking better questions about privacy and legal jurisdiction, so we want to be clear about how and where your data is stored and processed.
Winklr is UK owned and UK operated, and all user data is stored in UK-based data centres.
Our rule: if we do not need it, we do not collect it
Our approach is simple: if we do not need a data point to run the service, we do not collect it.
That principle runs through both the app and our marketing approach.
What this means in practice
We do not distribute information about your behaviour or your device because we do not collect it in the first place.
For location-based marketing, you stay in control. You can set your ad preferences, including demographic controls such as age range and gender.
Privacy should be practical, understandable, and consistent across the whole product.
