1) Who We Are (Data Controller)

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Estonian Personal Data Protection Act, and any other applicable privacy laws, the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data on this website is:

MoneyTransferStore
Address: Mooni 18-13, Tallinn, Estonia 10613
Email: [email protected]

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, want to understand what data we collect, or would like to exercise your GDPR rights, you can contact us at [email protected].

We aim to respond to legitimate requests as quickly as possible, and in line with GDPR timelines. In some cases, we may need to confirm your identity before we can disclose or delete personal data — this is purely to protect your information and prevent unauthorised access.

2) What MoneyTransferStore Does

MoneyTransferStore is a money transfer comparison website built to help people make smarter decisions when sending money internationally.

International transfers can look simple on the surface, but in reality they can get expensive fast — and not always because of obvious “fees”. One of the biggest costs is often hidden in plain sight: the exchange rate you’re offered. Many banks and some providers apply a markup to the real market rate, meaning you may receive less money on the other side even if the transfer fee looks low. That’s exactly the kind of thing we want to make easier to spot.

Our website exists to bring more clarity and transparency to international money transfers by allowing users to compare providers side-by-side using real-world factors that impact the final amount received, including fees, estimated delivery times, and payout options. We also aim to make the comparison process simple enough for everyday users (families, expats, migrant workers, students, freelancers, and small businesses) while still being detailed enough for people who want to understand the numbers properly.

MoneyTransferStore does not provide money transfer services directly. We are not a bank, we are not an EMI, and we do not hold customer funds. We also do not process payments on this website. Instead, we publish information and comparison tools that help users evaluate providers and choose the option that best fits their needs.

When you click on a provider listing, a button, or an outbound link on MoneyTransferStore, you may be redirected to a third-party website (for example, the provider’s official site). Once you leave our website, the provider may collect additional information from you, the provider’s own privacy policy and terms will apply, and the provider may ask you to complete onboarding or verification steps before completing a transfer. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any provider you choose to use.

3) What Personal Data We Collect

We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use the website, we may collect the following categories of data.

3.1 Data you provide to us (Contact Requests)

If you contact us via email or a contact form (if available), we may collect:

your name (if you provide it)
your email address
the content of your message
any other information you choose to share

Why we collect it: to respond to your enquiry and provide support.

3.2 Data from your use of the website (Usage & Analytics)

When you browse MoneyTransferStore, we may collect technical and usage data such as:

device type (mobile/desktop)
browser type and version
pages visited

general location (approximate, e.g., country-level)
referral source (e.g., search engine or external website)

This data may be collected using tools such as Google Analytics (GA4) and PostHog.

3.3 Comparison inputs (Not saved as personal profiles)

MoneyTransferStore may allow you to input transfer details to compare providers, including:

sending country

We do not build personal profiles or store this data as user-specific personal records.

However, some analytics tools may record interaction events in an aggregated or pseudonymised way to help us improve the user experience.

3.4 Affiliate link tracking (Third-party cookies)

MoneyTransferStore uses affiliate links. This means if you click a provider link and later complete a transaction on the provider’s website, we may earn a commission.

Affiliate tracking may involve:

referral tracking parameters in the URL
cookies placed by third parties
conversion tracking managed by the provider or affiliate network

Important: affiliate cookies are typically managed by third parties, not by MoneyTransferStore.

4) What We Do NOT Collect

To keep things clear, MoneyTransferStore does not intentionally collect or process:

payment card details

government ID documents
sensitive personal data (such as health data, religion, political opinions)
