Privacy Policy — Simbye eSIM Finder for ChatGPT
Last updated: 3 May 2026 Effective: 3 May 2026This Privacy Policy applies to the Simbye eSIM Finder application
(the "App") available in the ChatGPT App Directory and operated by
SIMBYE LTD (Company Number 15310933, registered at 71-75 SheltonStreet, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom).
1. What the App does
The App allows ChatGPT users to discover and compare Simbye eSIM travel
data plans by sending free-text queries (e.g. *"Find me a Japan eSIM
with unlimited data for 10 days"*). The App returns matching plans
from Simbye's public catalogue with a direct link to simbye.com.
The App does NOT process payments or store user accounts. Allpurchases happen on simbye.com after the user clicks an outbound link.
2. Data we receive from ChatGPT
When you use the App through ChatGPT, the following data may be
transmitted to our servers:
-
Tool call arguments — for example a country code (
JP), trip
duration (10), data preferences (unlimited: true), or a free-text
trip description (e.g. "10 days Japan + Korea").
- Standard HTTP request metadata — IP address, User-Agent, and
request timestamp (provided automatically by your ChatGPT client and
Cloudflare's network).
We do not receive your name, email, ChatGPT account information,
chat history, payment data, or any other personal identifier from
ChatGPT.
3. How we use the data
We use the received data only to:
- Filter and return matching eSIM plans from our public catalogue.
- Generate a personalised tracking link with our discount code
(CHATGPT15) for attribution.
- Maintain server logs for security, debugging, and abuse prevention.
We do not:
- Sell or share your data with third parties.
- Use the data for advertising or profiling.
- Combine the data with information from other sources.
4. Data retention
- Tool call arguments are processed in-memory and not persisted.
- HTTP server logs (containing IP address, timestamp, and request
path) are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse
prevention, then automatically deleted.
5. Cookies and tracking
The App itself does not set cookies. When you click the outbound link
to simbye.com, our website may set cookies as described in
Simbye's main Privacy Policy.The tracking parameter ?ref=chatgpt is appended to outbound links
purely for traffic-attribution analytics on simbye.com.
