Introduction

Dealspottedtoday values your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit www.dealspottedtoday.com, how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

We are a shopping information website that publishes coupons, deals and buying guides. We do not sell products, and we never process your orders or payments. When you click through to a retailer, you leave our website and your purchase is governed by that retailer’s own terms and privacy policy. By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read this policy.

Information we collect

If you contact our support team, we receive your name, email address and message. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. You do not need to give us any personal information to browse our coupons, stores or guides.

When you visit our website, we and our service providers automatically collect technical data. This includes your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language settings, the pages you view, how long you stay, the links and coupons you click, the page that referred you to us, and the date and time of your visit. We also use cookies and similar technologies. Our Cookie Policy explains them in full.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive information such as financial account details, government ID numbers, health information or precise location. Please do not send us this kind of information.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to run and improve Dealspottedtoday, show you relevant coupons, deals and content, and understand which stores and guides are most useful. We use it to send our newsletter and deal alerts to people who have signed up, to respond to your questions and reports of codes that do not work, and to track affiliate link clicks so that our retail partners can credit us with a commission. We also use it to measure and improve our website’s performance and security, to protect against fraud and abuse, and to meet our legal obligations.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on our legitimate interests (running, securing and improving a free shopping information service), your consent (for non-essential cookies and our newsletter, which you can withdraw at any time), and legal obligations.

Newsletter and deal alerts

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address only to send you coupons, deals and updates from Dealspottedtoday. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email. We use an email service provider to send these messages, and it may process your email address on our behalf.

Cookies and tracking

We and our partners use cookies, pixels and local storage for essential functions, analytics, advertising measurement and affiliate tracking. We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, which may set cookies and collect usage data. Google and other vendors may use cookies to measure conversions and to show or measure ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and manage personalised advertising at adssettings.google.com.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of our website may stop working. Where required by law, we ask for your consent through a cookie banner before setting non-essential cookies. We also honour Global Privacy Control signals where the law requires it. See our Cookie Policy for more.

Affiliate links and third-party websites

Many links on our website are affiliate links. When you click one, the retailer or its affiliate network places a cookie on your browser so it knows you came from us. If you make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

We generally receive only limited reporting data about these purchases, such as the order value and commission. We do not receive your payment details or full order contents.

Retailers and affiliate networks are independent from us. Once you leave Dealspottedtoday, this policy no longer applies, and their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more on how we earn money.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share limited data only with:

Trusted service providers that help us run our business, such as email, hosting, analytics and security providers. They may only use your information to provide services to us.
Affiliate networks and advertising partners, mainly through cookies and tracking technologies.
Authorities or other parties when the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users or our website.
A successor business, if we are ever merged with or acquired by another company.

Some sharing through advertising and affiliate cookies may count as a “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising under certain US state laws. The section below explains how to opt out.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes in this policy. We generally keep contact messages for up to 24 months, server logs and analytics data for up to 26 months, and newsletter details until you unsubscribe, unless the law requires us to keep them longer.

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, and our website uses HTTPS. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We and our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses for international transfers.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

Know what personal information we hold about you and get a copy.
Correct or delete your information.
Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where we rely on it.
Opt out of the sale or sharing of your information and of targeted advertising.
Not be treated differently for using these rights.

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send. To make any other request, email us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity first, and we will respond within the time required by law, generally 30 to 45 days. If you are in the EEA, UK, Canada or Australia, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

California residents: in the past 12 months we have collected identifiers (such as IP address and email address), internet activity and the content of messages you send us. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. You can opt out of sharing for advertising through your browser’s Global Privacy Control, your cookie settings, or by contacting us.

Children’s privacy

Dealspottedtoday is for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA and UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top, and for significant changes we will add a notice on our website. Continuing to use our website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
