This policy explains what information AmigoDeals ("we") handles when you use AmigoDeals, and why. We aim to collect as little as possible.
What we collect
- No accounts. You can browse and search without signing up.
- Technical logs. Like most websites, our hosting providers (Google Cloud and Firebase) automatically record technical details of requests: IP address, browser type, the page requested, and the date and time. We use these to run the site, keep it secure (for example, to block abuse) and fix problems.
- Searches. Search terms are sent to our server to find matching offers. We don't link them to you personally.
- Submissions. If you share a flyer, photo or offer details, we store what you send. Please don't include personal information in images.
- Messages. If you email us, we keep your email address and message so we can reply.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages and offers are viewed, what people search for, and which retailer links are clicked. This helps us decide which offers and features to add. Google Analytics uses cookies (named _ga and _ga_*) and collects information such as your approximate location (city level), device and browser type, and the pages you visit. We have set it up so that:
- it is not used for advertising: advertising features, ad personalisation and Google signals are turned off;
- visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland are not measured unless they opt in;
- browsers that send a Global Privacy Control signal are not measured;
- Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months.
Google processes this data as our service provider. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics choices
You can turn analytics on or off for this browser at any time.
Your choice is saved in this browser only. You can also use Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Other cookies
Apart from analytics, AmigoDeals doesn't use cookies, and we don't track you across other websites. Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers; Google's privacy policy applies to that connection.
How we use information
We use information only to provide, secure and improve the Service, to check and publish offers, to respond to you, and to meet legal obligations.
Sharing
We don't sell or rent personal information, and we don't share it for advertising. We share information only with service providers that host, run and measure the Service for us (Google Cloud, Firebase and Google Analytics), when required by law, or to protect our rights and users' safety.
Retention
Technical logs are kept only as long as our hosting providers retain them for operation and security, typically up to 30 days. Published Submissions stay on the site while they're useful. Emails are kept as long as needed to deal with your request.
Your choices and rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to remove a Submission, by contacting the contact details on our Contact page. Depending on where you live (for example, California or the European Economic Area), you may have additional rights under local law. We won't discriminate against you for using them.
Children
AmigoDeals isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and restricted access to our systems. No method is completely secure.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
