Who We Are
Our website address is: https://migrationprotect.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string, known as a hash, may be created from your email address and provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please refrain from including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience, so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we will also set several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, while screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out of your account will remove the login cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data; it simply records the post ID of the article you just edited and expires after 1 day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Such content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor has visited the source website.
These websites may collect data about you, employ cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged into that website.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be recorded in the reset email.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile, also referred to as the account profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information. Please refer to the Terms and Conditions on the requirement to ensure your details are up to date for the purposes of the guarantee.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, which includes any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we have about you. This excludes any data we are required to maintain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service.

Social Proof Notifications
Our website displays anonymised notifications showing recent member activity, such as new sign-ups and plan purchases. These notifications are designed to help visitors understand how others are using Migration Protect.
To protect member privacy, notifications are subject to the following safeguards:
- Only the member’s first initial is shown (e.g. “J from Spain”), never full names or email addresses.
- Notifications are delayed by at least 24 hours and are limited to events within the last 60 days.
- Date information is shown at day-level granularity only (e.g. “2 days ago”), not exact timestamps.
- No identifying information such as visa type, destination, or application status is included in these notifications.
- Notifications are not displayed within the member dashboard, checkout, or account pages — only on the public-facing website.
If you are a Migration Protect member and prefer not to appear in these notifications, you can opt out at any time via your dashboard Settings page under “Privacy & Visibility”. Once opted out, your activity will no longer be included in future notifications.
