Last Updated: September 2025

At What Channel Info (https://whatchannelinfo.com/), we take your privacy seriously.

This GDPR Policy explains how we collect, use, manage, and safeguard your data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU 2016/679) and the UK GDPR.

What is GDPR?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union law designed to give individuals greater control over their personal data. It establishes strict rules on how organizations must handle and protect personal information. The UK GDPR mirrors these protections following the UK’s departure from the EU.

In simple terms, GDPR ensures that your personal data—such as your name, email address, IP address, or browsing behavior—is handled lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
