Privacy Policy

Our Approach to Your Privacy

At Bargain Seeker, we believe that transparency is the foundation of trust. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. Unlike standard policies, we've crafted this document to be straightforward and jargon-free, reflecting our commitment to honest communication with our community of savvy shoppers.

Information We Collect

We collect information directly from you when you register for an account, subscribe to our services, or contact our support team. This typically includes your name, email address, and payment details when necessary. We also gather usage data that helps us understand how you interact with our platform, such as the features you use most frequently and the deals you find most valuable. This information is essential for personalizing your experience and continually improving our service.

How We Use Your Information

Your information powers the personalized deal-finding experience that makes Bargain Seeker unique. We use it to tailor recommendations based on your shopping preferences, notify you about deals that match your interests, and optimize our educational content to help you become a more effective bargain hunter. If you've opted in, we'll send you our exclusive shopping guides and limited-time deal alerts. We never use your data for purposes unrelated to enhancing your shopping knowledge and experience.

Sharing Your Information

We built Bargain Seeker for people who value both savings and privacy. That's why we limit data sharing to only what's necessary to provide our service. We work with select payment processors and customer support tools, all bound by strict confidentiality agreements. Unlike many services, we do not sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers—ever. Your shopping preferences and deal-hunting strategies remain confidential within our secure platform.

Security Measures

Protecting your information is as important to us as helping you find the best deals. We employ industry-standard encryption (SSL) for all data transmissions, regular security audits of our systems, and strict access controls for our team members. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and update our protections accordingly. We believe in being proactive rather than reactive when it comes to safeguarding your information.

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to provide you with our services and comply with legal requirements. If you decide to delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except for information we're legally required to retain. Throughout your membership, you can request data exports or deletions by contacting support@bargainseeker.com. We've designed our retention practices to balance service quality with your right to privacy.

Children's Privacy

Bargain Seeker is designed for adults who make independent purchasing decisions. Our services are not intended for children under 18, and we don't knowingly collect information from minors. If we discover we've inadvertently gathered data from a child, we'll promptly delete it. Parents or guardians who believe we might have collected information from their child should contact us at privacy@bargainseeker.com, and we'll take immediate action to address their concerns.

Your Rights

We respect your control over your personal information. Depending on your location, particularly for residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom, you have specific rights including: accessing your data, correcting inaccuracies, requesting deletion, restricting certain processing, and exporting your information in a portable format. Even if you're not covered by these regulations, we extend similar options to all Bargain Seeker members because we believe privacy is a universal right, not just a regulatory requirement.
