Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 14, 2026

Earth SIMs ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website earthsims.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our Site. We are committed to respecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

The short version: We do not require you to create an account. We do not sell your personal data. We collect minimal analytics data to improve our content, and our affiliate partners may set cookies when you click outbound links.

1. Information We Collect

Earth SIMs is a content-only website. We do not offer user accounts, login functionality, or user-generated content. The information we collect is limited to:

Analytics Data

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use our Site. This may include:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or search engine
  • General geographic region (country level, not precise location)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • Aggregate click data on affiliate links

Our analytics solution does not use cookies for tracking, does not collect personal identifiers, and does not track individual users across sessions. All data is aggregated and anonymized.

Information You Provide Voluntarily

If you contact us via email or a contact form, we may collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Here is how cookies are used on our Site:

Essential Cookies

We may use minimal essential cookies to ensure the Site functions correctly (for example, remembering your cookie consent preference). These cannot be disabled without impacting site functionality.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click an affiliate link on our Site, the destination website (the affiliate partner) may set a cookie on your device. These cookies are placed by the third-party partner, not by Earth SIMs, and are used to attribute any subsequent purchase to our referral. Cookie durations vary by partner, typically ranging from 24 hours to 365 days. See Section 3 for details on specific partners.

Analytics Cookies

Our privacy-focused analytics provider operates without setting persistent tracking cookies. No cross-site tracking is performed.

Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, clear existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is set. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of some websites, including affiliate partner sites.

3. Third-Party Services

Our Site integrates with and links to the following categories of third-party services. Each operates under its own privacy policy:

Affiliate Networks and Partners

We participate in affiliate programs with providers including, but not limited to:

  • eSIM providers: Airalo, Holafly, Nomad eSIM, Ubigi, eSIM.me, Yesim, aloSIM, Roamless
  • VPN services: NordVPN, Surfshark, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN
  • Travel insurance: SafetyWing, World Nomads, Genki, Heymondo
  • Hardware and other services: Amazon Associates, Wise

When you click an affiliate link, you are directed to the partner's website where their own privacy policy and cookie practices apply. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before making a purchase.

Analytics Provider

We use a privacy-focused analytics service that does not collect personally identifiable information, does not use cookies for visitor tracking, and is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR without requiring a cookie consent banner.

Hosting and Infrastructure

Our Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process certain technical data (such as IP addresses) as part of delivering the Site to your browser. Cloudflare's privacy policy governs their handling of this data. We do not have access to individual IP addresses through our hosting provider.

4. Affiliate Link Tracking Disclosure

Transparency is core to our editorial mission. Here is exactly how affiliate link tracking works on Earth SIMs:

  • What happens when you click: Affiliate links on our Site contain a referral parameter (such as ?ref=earthsims) that identifies Earth SIMs as the referring source.
  • What data we see: We receive aggregate reports from affiliate partners showing the number of clicks, conversions, and commissions earned. We do not receive your name, email, purchase details, or any personally identifiable information from these partners.
  • On-site tracking: We track affiliate link clicks on our Site using privacy-focused analytics events (for example, which button positions generate the most engagement). This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
  • No price impact: Clicking an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay. Our commissions are paid by the partner, not by you.

For more details on how affiliate partnerships influence our content, please read our Affiliate Disclosure.

5. How We Use Collected Information

The limited information we collect is used to:

  • Understand which content is most useful to our readers
  • Improve site navigation, layout, and performance
  • Monitor aggregate trends in traffic and referral sources
  • Respond to inquiries submitted through our contact channels
  • Ensure the Site operates correctly and securely

We do not use collected information to build user profiles, serve targeted advertising, or sell data to third parties.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: With our hosting and analytics providers, solely for the purpose of operating and improving the Site.
  • Legal requirements: If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7. Your Rights

Under the GDPR (European Economic Area)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right of access: Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Right to restrict processing: Request that we limit how we use your data.
  • Right to data portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Right to object: Object to our processing of your personal data.

Because we collect minimal data and do not maintain user accounts, most of these rights are satisfied by default. If you have submitted information to us via email or a contact form and wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address below.

Under the CCPA (California)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect and how it is used.

  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 9 below.

Do Not Track

Our Site respects "Do Not Track" browser signals. Because we use privacy-focused analytics that does not track individual users across sites, the Site's behavior is functionally equivalent regardless of your Do Not Track setting.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through our Site, including:

  • HTTPS encryption on all pages
  • Regular security updates to our hosting infrastructure
  • Minimal data collection to reduce risk exposure

No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
