Kitd (kitd.co.uk) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law.
Kitd is a UK-based website providing reviews, buying guides, and comparisons for tradespeople. Our website address is https://kitd.co.uk.
We collect minimal personal data. If you contact us via our contact form or email, we collect your name and email address solely to respond to your enquiry. If you subscribe to our email list, we collect your email address to send you updates and content. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Kitd uses cookies to understand how visitors use the site and to improve your experience. The cookies we use fall into the following categories:
Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies set by WordPress to manage sessions and preferences.
Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site, including pages visited, time on site, and referring sources. This data helps us understand which content is useful and where we can improve. Google Analytics uses cookies to identify unique visitors without collecting personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Affiliate cookies: When you click an affiliate link on Kitd (for example, a link to a product on Amazon), the retailer may set a cookie on your device to track the referral. These cookies are set by the retailer, not by Kitd. Amazon Associates cookies typically last 24 hours. We do not have access to or control over these third-party cookies.
We use the data we collect to respond to enquiries you send us, to send email updates if you have subscribed, to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve our content, and to monitor site performance and security. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third parties for marketing purposes.
Kitd uses the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf: Google Analytics (website analytics, based in the US, operating under standard contractual clauses), Mailchimp (email marketing, if you subscribe to our mailing list), and Amazon Associates (affiliate programme). Each of these services has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request correction of inaccurate data, to request deletion of your data, to withdraw consent for email marketing at any time, and to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been mishandled.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address on our Contact page.
We retain contact form enquiries for up to 12 months. Email subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained in Google Analytics for 26 months in anonymised form.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, please contact us via the Contact page on kitd.co.uk.
If you’ve ever searched for tool reviews, you know the problem. Page after page of identical lists, stock photos, and vague descriptions that could apply to anything. The writers have never held half the products they recommend. They rank based on commission rates, not quality. We got fed up with it. Kitd was built to cut through the noise and give UK tradespeople reviews they can actually trust. We test gear properly, compare products head-to-head, and tell you the truth — even when that means saying a popular brand isn’t worth the money.
We don’t accept money from manufacturers for positive reviews. We don’t inflate ratings to boost affiliate sales. Every product on Kitd is evaluated on its own merits: build quality, performance, durability, and value for money. We compare similar products directly so you can see the real differences. We test in working conditions, not studio setups. And we update reviews when products change or better options arrive. If we recommend something, it’s because we’d genuinely use it ourselves. If something’s overpriced or overhyped, we’ll tell you that too.
Kitd covers everything a UK tradesperson needs. Power tools and hand tools — drills, drivers, multi-tools, saws, and more. Workwear and PPE — boots, trousers, jackets, gloves, and safety gear. Van and site equipment — racking, storage, lighting, and generators. Trade software — job management, invoicing, quoting, and accounting platforms. Training and certifications — courses, qualifications, and career development. We focus exclusively on the UK market, with UK pricing, UK stockists, and reviews relevant to how tradespeople actually work here. No American voltages, no products you can’t buy.
We’ll never recommend something we wouldn’t use ourselves. We’ll never hide a product’s flaws to protect affiliate income. We’ll always disclose when links earn us commission — it’s how we keep the site running, but it never influences our verdicts. We’ll update content when things change, because outdated reviews help nobody. And we’ll always prioritise your time — giving you clear recommendations without making you scroll through endless padding. Kitd exists to help you make better decisions about your gear. That’s it. No hidden agenda, no corporate sponsors, just honest information.
