Privacy Policy — Simbye eSIM Finder for ChatGPT

Last updated: 3 May 2026 Effective: 3 May 2026

This 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 Shelton

Street, 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. All

purchases 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.


6. Data sharing and processors

We use the following processors:

Processor Purpose Location
Cloudflare, Inc. DNS, SSL, reverse proxy (mcp.simbye.com) USA / Global
Cloudways (DigitalOcean) Server hosting Germany
Shopify Inc. E-commerce platform (simbye.com) USA / Canada

All processors operate under appropriate data-protection agreements

including GDPR compliance for EU/UK residents.

following rights regarding any personal data we may hold:

  • Cloudflare WAF and DDoS protection
  • Server isolation and regular security patches
  • No long-term storage of personal data

10. Children's privacy

collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has

provided us with personal data, please contact
