3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, such as hosting providers, analytics services, email delivery services, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.
• Aggregated Data: We may share aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you (e.g., "85% of users found this code working").
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when you give us explicit consent to do so.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. We may also retain certain information as required by law, to resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or for legitimate business purposes. When your data is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Aggregated and anonymized data, which cannot be used to identify you, may be retained indefinitely for analytics and service improvement purposes.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL protocols
• Secure storage of passwords using industry-standard hashing algorithms
• Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring
• Access controls that limit employee access to personal information on a need-to-know basis

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you use the Service at your own risk.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
• Portability: Request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in our emails or adjusting your notification settings
• Cookie Preferences: Manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service
• Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.

7. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws of your country. When we transfer your data internationally, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable laws.

8. Third-Party Links

The Service contains links to third-party websites, including online retailers. When you click on a coupon code or deal link, you may be redirected to a retailer's website. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

10. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Because there is no consistent industry standard for recognizing or responding to DNT signals, our Service does not currently respond to DNT browser signals. We will update this policy if a standard for responding to DNT signals is established.

11. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These include the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion of your data, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. As stated above, we do not sell personal information. For more information or to exercise your California privacy rights, please contact us.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, providing additional notice (such as an email notification or an in-app alert). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

13. Contact Us
