Collecting and Using Your Personal Data

Types of Data Collected

Personal Data. While using our Service, we may ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information, limited to your email address when you contact us.

Usage Data. Usage Data is collected automatically and may include information such as your device’s IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages of our Service you visit, the time and date of your visit, time spent on those pages, the page that referred you to our Service, and other diagnostic data recorded by our hosting and caching infrastructure.

Tracking Technologies and Cookies

We use Cookies set by WordPress for core site functionality. These are necessary cookies required for the Service to work as intended, such as remembering site preferences and keeping logged-in administrative users signed in. We do not use Cookies for behavioral advertising or to build advertising profiles about visitors. You can find more detail on managing Cookies in the “Your Choices” section below.

Affiliate Links and Tracking

USDeals participates in the Amazon Associates program. Links to Amazon on this site are affiliate links and may set a tracking cookie through Amazon when you click them, which lets Amazon attribute a qualifying purchase to this site. This tracking is controlled by Amazon and governed by Amazon’s own privacy policy, not by us. See our Affiliate Disclaimer for more detail.

Use of Your Personal Data

We use Personal Data and Usage Data for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
  • To respond to your inquiries and manage requests sent through our Contact page.
  • To understand, in aggregate, how content on the Service is used.
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, security incidents, and abuse of the Service.
  • To enforce this Privacy Policy and our other published policies.
  • To comply with a legal obligation, such as a valid request from a public authority.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use Personal Data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Retention of Your Personal Data

We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as responding to an inquiry, or as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Usage Data recorded in server and cache logs is generally retained for a shorter period, except when it is used to strengthen the security or improve the functionality of the Service, or when we are legally obligated to retain it longer.

Delete Your Personal Data

You have the right to ask us to delete Personal Data we have collected about you, such as an email address you sent us through the Contact page. We will honor deletion requests except where we are required to retain certain data to comply with a legal obligation. To make a request, contact us at [email protected].

Disclosure of Your Personal Data

We do not sell your Personal Data. We may disclose it in limited circumstances:

  • Business transfers. If USDeals is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
  • Legal requirements. We may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law, or in response to a valid request by a public authority, such as a court or government agency.
  • Service Providers. We share limited data with the Service Providers described in the Definitions section, solely to perform the functions they support (hosting, affiliate tracking).
  • We also use outside tracking tools like Google Analytics.  Users can view Google’s opt-out settings relating to data capture here.

Security of Your Personal Data

The security of your data matters to us, and we use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We do not maintain any sensitive personal information.

Third Party Links

Our articles link to retailers and other third party sites. Once you leave usdeals.net, that site’s own privacy policy applies, not this one. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

We have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, to protect the integrity of our site, we welcome any feedback about these sites.

California Privacy Rights

USDeals does not sell or share personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what limited categories of personal information we hold about you, to request its deletion, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. Because we do not sell personal information, there is no need to submit a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” request. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for how to respond to it, our Service does not currently change its behavior based on this signal. You can still control tracking through the Cookie settings described below.

Children’s Privacy

Our website, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old. USDeals is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us at [email protected] so we can remove it.

Global Privacy Policy

We are committed to complying with all global privacy regulations that apply to users of our site. This privacy policy is meant to be straightforward and understandable to our users. However, if you have a question or a request relating to the use of your information, please email [email protected].

Your Choices

You can control Cookies through your browser settings, typically found under Privacy or Security options in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Blocking Cookies may affect how some parts of the Service function, such as staying logged in or having your site preferences remembered.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site evolves. Changes take effect when posted on this page.
