1. Introduction
This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") explains how Coupon Finder ("we", "our", "us") collects and processes information from members and users of the website, software applications, and other online services we provide (collectively "Coupon Finder’s products"). Coupon Finder’s products include, but are not limited to, the Coupon Finder extension for web browsers ("the Extension"), the Coupon Finder mobile application (the “Mobile App”), and the website located at www.coupon-finder.org ("the Site/Website").
Coupon Finder attaches a great importance to the confidentiality of personal data, adopted as a working principle and gave working instructions to the employees in compliance with this principle. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. If you have any data protection queries or require further information on how the council handles your data, please feel free to contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected].
If we ever need additional personal information for a specific reason, we will tell you and ask for your permission. Also, to the extent that Coupon Finder has links to other websites (like retailers), please note that we do not own, operate, or control them, and they have their own controlling privacy policies that you should review.
This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us. Please read the following carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
2. What Data Do We Collect and Why
In order to provide our products, Coupon Finder collects information you share directly with us when you use our website, extension, and other products. We DO NOT sell your personal information. Ever. Though you don’t have to, you can choose to provide your email to set up an account with us, which lets you add items to your favorites, earn rewards, see a personalized recommendation feed, and more. You can also set up your profile with your name and other info for a more personalized experience.
Coupon Finder also collects technical information about your device and use of Coupon Finder to make sure that our products are working correctly. The information we collect is geared to providing Coupon Finder members with a better way to shop online and to help us develop, improve, and market our services.
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you as follows:
Identity Data: first name, last name, username or similar identifier.
Contact Data: email address.
Transaction Data: includes details of transactions made by Coupon Finder users.
Device Data: includes the type and version of browser being used, your device operating system, screen size, time zone setting, and geographical identifiers.
Profile Data: includes your username and password, purchase history, your interests, preferences, and feedback.
Usage Data: includes details of your use of Coupon Finder including, but not limited to, traffic data and the resources that you access.
We also collect, use and share Aggregated Data such as statistical or demographic data for any purpose. Aggregated Data could be derived from your personal data but is not considered personal data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. For example, we may aggregate your Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific discount through Coupon Finder. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your personal data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as personal data which will be used in accordance with this privacy policy.
We DO NOT collect any special categories of personal data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.
The Website and Browser Extension are not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect personal data relating to children.
This data allows us to make sure Coupon Finder products are working correctly, to make your experience better, and to detect and prevent fraud. Also, to help us coordinate our communications and marketing campaigns, and to understand how our users engage with our products, we use common digital tools that allow us to see if you opened an email we sent, visited a link in those emails, or generally interacted with Coupon Finder as a result of our marketing efforts.
