Privacy Policy
Your personal information matters. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can control it — written in plain English.
📋 About this Privacy Policy
It is important to us that your personal information is protected and that you have a choice about how it is used. This notice explains your rights, how we use your personal data, and how we comply with our legal obligations.
Our policy does not apply to any third parties, including social media platforms and our retail partners from whom you access discounts — we advise you to read those individual privacy policies separately.
In plain English: We only collect what we need, we use it only to run this service, and we never sell it to anyone. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us.

📂 Data We Collect

We collect standard web server log data including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This data is anonymised and used only for analytics purposes.
When you click a deal
