Privacy Notice for the Website, App, and Subscription Service
Effective Date: April 18, 2026
This Privacy
Policy explains how ClearCouponing LLC, doing business as ClearCouponing
("Company," "we," "us," or "our"),
collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit our
website, use our mobile application, create an account, purchase a
subscription, or otherwise interact with our services (collectively, the
"Service"). Please read this policy carefully. By using the Service,
you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
This policy
does not govern third-party websites, retailers, cashback platforms, or other
services we do not control. Those services have their own privacy practices,
and we encourage you to review them.
This Privacy
Policy applies to all personal information collected through the Service,
including information collected online and through our mobile applications. The
Service is intended solely for residents of the United States. If you are not
located in the United States, you may not use the Service.
This policy is
incorporated by reference into our Terms of Use. Defined terms used but not
defined here have the meanings given in our Terms of Use.
We collect
personal information in three ways: information you provide to us directly,
information collected automatically, and information obtained from third
parties.
A. Information You Provide
Directly
•
Account and Registration
Data: name, email address, password (stored in hashed form), and any profile
preferences you set.
•
Shopping Preferences:
selected stores, preferred product categories, zip code or regional settings,
and deal alert preferences.
•
Subscription and Billing
Data: plan selection, billing status, and transaction identifiers. Full payment
card details are processed directly by our third-party payment processor and
are not stored by us.
•
Communications: messages,
feedback, support requests, and deal submissions you send to us.
•
User Content: deal tips,
ratings, comments, or other content you voluntarily submit through the Service.
B. Information Collected
Automatically
•
Device and Technical Data:
IP address, device type and model, operating system, browser type and version,
app version, and unique device identifiers (e.g., IDFA, AAID).
•
Usage and Log Data: pages
or screens viewed, links clicked, features used, search queries within the
Service, session duration, referring URLs, and deal engagement patterns.
•
Location Data: general
geographic location inferred from IP address or zip code. We do not collect
precise GPS location without your explicit consent.
•
Cookies and Similar
Technologies: we use cookies, web beacons, and pixel tags to maintain sessions,
remember preferences, measure engagement, and improve Service performance. See
Section 5 for more detail.
C. Information from Third
Parties
•
Payment Processors:
transaction status, fraud-prevention signals, and billing confirmation data
from our payment provider.
•
Analytics Providers:
aggregated and de-identified usage metrics from third-party analytics services.
•
App Stores: if you download
our app through the Apple App Store or Google Play, those platforms may share
limited data with us in accordance with their own policies.
•
Referral Sources: if you
arrive via a referral link or affiliate partner, we may receive information
about the referral source.
D. Sensitive Information We Do
Not Collect
We do not
collect, and have no interest in collecting, the following categories of
sensitive personal information:
•
precise geolocation
(GPS-level);
•
racial, ethnic, or national
origin or background;
•
citizenship or immigration
status;
•
Social Security number,
driver's license number, or government-issued ID number;
•
financial account, debit
card, or credit card numbers combined with any security code, password, or
credentials allowing account access;
•
health, medical, or
biometric data; or
•
contents of private
communications (email, text messages, or similar).
If you believe
you have inadvertently submitted sensitive information to us, contact us at [email protected]
and we will delete it promptly.
We use personal
information only for legitimate business purposes consistent with the context
in which it was collected. Specifically, we use it to:
•
provide, operate, maintain,
and improve the Service and develop new features;
•
process subscriptions,
renewals, billing, and refund requests;
•
personalize deal content,
recommendations, and alerts based on your preferences and location;
•
send transactional and
account-related communications (e.g., receipts, subscription confirmations,
password resets);
•
send marketing and
promotional communications where you have opted in, and honor opt-out requests
promptly;
•
detect, investigate, and
prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms of Use;
•
display non-targeted
advertisements to free-tier users of the Service;
•
comply with applicable
legal obligations and enforce our agreements;
•
analyze usage trends and
measure the effectiveness of our content and features;
•
respond to your support
requests and communicate with you about your account; and
•
carry out any other purpose
disclosed to you at the time of collection and for which you have consented.
We do not use
personal information to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly
significant effects on you without human review.
ClearCouponing
operates on a tiered access model. Free-tier users are shown advertisements as
a condition of accessing the Service at no charge. Premium subscribers receive
an ad-free experience as a benefit of their paid subscription.
Non-Targeted
Advertising. All advertisements displayed through the Service are non-targeted.
We do not build behavioral profiles of our users for advertising purposes,
track users across third-party websites or apps, share personal information
with advertising networks for targeting purposes, or use sensitive personal
information for any advertising purpose. Advertisements are contextual only and
are not based on your identity, personal information, browsing history, or
behavioral data.
Ad Frequency
and Duration. As of the effective date of this policy, free-tier users may be
shown at least one advertisement per day. Advertisement frequency and duration
are subject to change at our discretion at any time without advance notice, as
these are operational decisions that do not affect how your personal
information is used.
Third-Party
Advertisers. Where we use third-party advertising partners to deliver ads,
those partners do not receive personal information about you beyond what is
strictly necessary to serve a non-targeted advertisement (such as your general
location or device type). Our third-party advertising partners are
contractually prohibited from using any information received through our
Service to build user profiles or serve targeted advertising to you on other
platforms.
No Ad-Related
Data Selling. We do not sell or share your personal information with
advertisers or advertising networks for behavioral targeting, retargeting, or
cross-context advertising purposes.
We use the
following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
•
Strictly Necessary Cookies:
required for the Service to function (e.g., session management,
authentication). These cannot be disabled.
•
Performance and Analytics
Cookies: help us understand how users interact with the Service so we can
improve it. These may be set by us or third-party analytics providers.
•
Functional Cookies:
remember your preferences and settings (e.g., selected stores, display
preferences).
We do not use
behavioral advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Any advertisements
displayed within the Service are non-targeted and do not rely on third-party
behavioral tracking. You can control cookies through your browser settings;
note that disabling certain cookies may affect Service functionality. We honor
Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by applicable law.
We do not sell
your personal information for money. We may share personal information in the
following circumstances:
•
Service Providers: we share
information with vendors and contractors that help us host, operate, bill,
market, and support the Service (e.g., cloud hosting providers, payment
processors, email platforms, analytics services). These parties are contractually
required to use your information only as directed by us and to maintain
appropriate security measures.
•
Payment Processors and
Fraud Prevention: payment data is processed by our third-party payment provider
under their own security standards. We may share fraud-prevention signals with
vendors to protect against unauthorized transactions.
•
Analytics Partners: we may
share de-identified, aggregated data with analytics partners. We do not share
raw personal information with analytics partners in a form that identifies you.
•
Hashed Identifiers: we may
share cryptographically hashed or obfuscated email addresses with trusted
partners for purposes such as audience measurement or fraud prevention. We
never share your raw email address or other PII with third parties for commercial
purposes without your consent.
•
Business Transfers: see
Section 7 below for the full business transfer and data asset disclosure.
•
Legal Compliance and
Protection: we may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, court
order, or governmental authority; to enforce our Terms of Use; to protect the
rights, property, or safety of ClearCouponing LLC, our users, or the public; or
to detect or prevent fraud or illegal activity.
•
With Your Consent: we may
share information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.
You should be
aware that the personal information and data assets we collect are considered
business assets of ClearCouponing LLC. In the event of any of the following,
your personal information may be transferred, disclosed, or sold as part of the
transaction:
•
a merger, acquisition,
joint venture, or consolidation with another company;
•
a divestiture,
restructuring, or reorganization of all or part of our business;
•
a sale, transfer, or
assignment of all or a substantial portion of our assets, whether as a going
concern or otherwise;
•
financing, investment, or
due diligence processes in which data assets may be reviewed by prospective
investors or acquirers under confidentiality obligations; or
•
bankruptcy, insolvency,
liquidation, receivership, or similar proceedings, in which personal data held
by us may be among the assets transferred to a trustee, creditor, or successor.
In any such
transaction, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that: (a) the recipient of
your personal information is bound by privacy obligations no less protective
than those in this policy, or that notice is provided to you before your
information becomes subject to materially different terms; and (b) your data
rights are preserved to the extent required by applicable law.
De-Identified
and Aggregated Data as an Independent Asset. We may compile, analyze, license,
sell, or otherwise commercialize de-identified and aggregated data derived from
user activity on the Service (such as deal engagement patterns, regional coupon
usage trends, and category preference data), provided such data cannot
reasonably be used to identify any individual user. This right exists
independently of any corporate transaction and does not require additional
consent, as de-identified and aggregated data is not personal information under
applicable law. This data is a proprietary business asset of ClearCouponing LLC.
We retain
personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described
in this policy, including to provide the Service, maintain accurate business
records, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable
legal obligations.
When you close
your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a
reasonable period, except where we are required or permitted by law to retain
it (for example, for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, or legal hold
purposes). Anonymized or aggregated data that cannot reasonably identify you
may be retained indefinitely for analytics, product improvement, and business
purposes.
Annual Review.
We review the personal data we retain on at least an annual basis to assess
whether continued retention remains necessary and appropriate. At the end of
any applicable retention period, personal data will be deleted, destroyed, or
de-identified using industry-standard methods.
You may request
information about our retention practices applicable to your data by contacting
us at [email protected].
We implement
reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards
designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include encryption of
data in transit (TLS), access controls limited to authorized personnel, and
regular security assessments.
No method of
transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and
we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that
triggers notification obligations under applicable law, we will notify affected
users via the email address associated with their account and will notify
relevant authorities as required.
You are
responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
Please notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any
unauthorized access to your account.
The Service is
not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from,
children under the age of 18 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your
jurisdiction). We are in compliance with the requirements of the Children's
Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our website, mobile application, and all
affiliated content are directed to people who are at least 18 years old.
If we learn
that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 18,
we will delete it promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your
child has provided personal information to us without your consent, please
contact us at [email protected] and we will investigate and take
appropriate action.
Depending on
your state of residence and applicable law, you may have some or all of the
following rights regarding your personal information:
•
Access: the right to
confirm whether we process your personal information and to receive a copy of
it, including the categories collected, sources, purposes, and third parties
with whom it has been shared.
•
Correction: the right to
request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
•
Deletion: the right to
request that we delete your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
(e.g., legal obligations, fraud prevention, de-identified data).
•
Portability: the right to
receive your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format, to
the extent feasible and required by state law.
•
Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing:
the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. As
noted in Section 4, we do not sell or share personal information for targeted
advertising. You may still submit a request at [email protected] or
via the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our
website footer.
•
Restriction: the right to
request that we restrict processing of your personal information in certain
circumstances.
•
Non-Discrimination: we will
not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights. We will
not deny you services, charge you different prices, or provide you a lower
quality of service because you exercised a privacy right.
How to Submit a Request
To exercise any
of the above rights, you may:
•
Email us at [email protected]
with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request";
Please include
in your request: your full name, the email address associated with your
account, your state of residence, and a description of the right you wish to
exercise. We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond
substantively within 45 days (extendable by an additional 45 days where
reasonably necessary, with notice to you).
Identity Verification
Before we can
honor a privacy rights request, we are required to verify your identity to a
reasonable degree of certainty. The verification method depends on the type and
sensitivity of the request:
•
For registered account
holders: we will ask you to re-authenticate by providing your account email and
password, or a one-time verification link sent to your registered email
address.
•
For non-account holders or
where re-authentication is not possible: we will ask you to provide two data
points that match personal information we already hold about you (e.g., email
address and zip code).
•
For requests to access
specific pieces of personal information: we may ask for three matching data
points and may require a signed declaration under penalty of perjury that you
are the person whose information is the subject of the request.
Information
collected solely for identity verification will be used only for that purpose
and will be deleted as soon as practicable after the request is processed,
except as required for record-keeping under applicable law. If we are unable to
verify your identity to the required degree of certainty, we will inform you
and explain why we cannot fulfill the request.
Authorized Agents
You may
designate an authorized agent (such as an attorney or family member) to make a
privacy rights request on your behalf. To do so, the authorized agent must
provide: (a) written proof of your authorization (e.g., a signed permission
letter or power of attorney); and (b) verification of the agent's own identity.
We may also contact you directly to confirm that you authorized the agent to
act on your behalf. We will process authorized agent requests within the same
timeframes that apply to direct requests.
We honor the
privacy rights of residents of U.S. states with comprehensive consumer privacy
laws, including California (CCPA/CPRA), Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA),
Connecticut (CTDPA), Texas (TDPSA), and other states with similar laws as they
take effect.
California Residents
California
residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, use,
disclose, and sell; the right to delete personal information; the right to
correct inaccurate personal information; the right to opt out of the sale or
sharing of personal information; the right to limit use of sensitive personal
information; and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under
the age of 16.
To submit a
CCPA request or designate an authorized agent, contact us at [email protected]
or use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in our
website footer.
Other State Residents
Residents of
Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other states with applicable
privacy laws may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and port their
personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising and profiling. To
exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].
Global Privacy Control
Where required
by applicable law, we recognize and honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC)
browser signal as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal
information for targeted advertising.
If we deny or
are unable to fully honor a privacy rights request you submitted, you have the
right to appeal our decision. The following process applies:
•
Step 1 — Informal
Resolution: before formally appealing, we encourage you to first contact our
privacy team at [email protected] to discuss your concern. Our team
will review the matter and attempt to resolve it without a formal appeal.
•
Step 2 — Notice of Appeal:
if informal resolution is unsuccessful, you may initiate a formal appeal by
sending a written notice to [email protected] with the subject line
"Notice of Appeal." Your notice must: (a) describe the original
request and the decision you are appealing; (b) explain your disagreement and
the basis for your appeal; (c) state the remedy you are seeking (e.g., access, correction,
deletion); and (d) include any supporting documentation.
•
Step 3 — Acknowledgement:
we will acknowledge receipt of your appeal within 10 business days of receiving
your written notice.
•
Step 4 — Investigation and
Determination: we will investigate your appeal based on the information and
documentation provided and issue a written determination within 60 days of
receipt of your notice. Our determination will include an explanation of our
decision and, if we deny your appeal, information about how you may escalate
the matter to the relevant state regulatory authority.
•
Step 5 — Regulatory
Escalation: if your appeal is denied and you remain unsatisfied, you may file a
complaint with the applicable state attorney general or privacy regulator.
We do not
discriminate against any person who exercises privacy rights or initiates an
appeal. We maintain records of all appeals and their outcomes in accordance
with our record-retention policies and applicable law. You may withdraw your
appeal at any time by written notice.
We may offer an
optional SMS/text message program through which you can receive deal alerts,
promotional offers, and account notifications via text message. Participation
is entirely voluntary and is not required to use the Service.
Consent and Opt-In
By opting in to
our SMS program, you expressly consent to receive recurring automated text
messages from ClearCouponing at the mobile number you provide. Consent to
receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing a subscription or
accessing the Service. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may
apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
How to Opt Out
You may opt out
of SMS communications at any time by texting STOP to 787473. After texting
STOP, you will receive a confirmation message and will no longer receive text
messages from us. To re-enroll, text START or DEALS to 787473 or sign up again
through your account settings.
Help
For help with
the SMS program contact us at [email protected].
Carrier Disclaimer
Carriers are
not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Compatible carriers include
major U.S. carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint) and most regional
carriers. We are not responsible for any charges incurred through your mobile
carrier as a result of SMS communications.
We do not share
your mobile number with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Your
mobile number is used solely for the purpose of delivering the SMS
communications to which you have consented.
If you submit
an application for employment with ClearCouponing LLC or request information
about job opportunities, we may collect personal information that you provide
in connection with your application, including information contained in a
resume, cover letter, or employment history.
We may also
collect personal information about you from third parties — such as background
check agencies, professional references, and employment verification services —
to supplement or verify your application. Where required by the federal Fair
Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or applicable state law (including California, New
York, and Washington), we will obtain your written authorization before
acquiring such information.
Applicant
information is used solely for evaluating your candidacy and will not be used
for marketing or shared with third parties except as necessary for the
recruitment process or as required by law. If your application is unsuccessful,
we may retain your information for a reasonable period to consider you for
future openings, unless you request deletion.
California
applicants may have additional rights under the CCPA with respect to personal
information collected in the employment context. Please contact us at [email protected]
for more information.
The Service may
contain links to third-party websites, retailer pages, cashback platforms, or
other external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of
those third parties, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to them. We
encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you
access through or in connection with the Service.
Our Service may
use third-party SDKs, plugins, or analytics tools that collect information
independently. We take reasonable steps to ensure these third parties handle
data in accordance with applicable law, but we do not control their independent
data practices. Where we are compensated for featuring sponsored products or
services or for clicks on affiliate links, this is disclosed in our Affiliate
Disclosure.
Some browsers
transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. Because there is no
industry-wide standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we do not currently
alter our data collection or use practices in response to DNT browser signals.
We do, however, honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by
law, as described in Section 12.
We may update
this Privacy Policy at any time. The updated version will be posted with a
revised effective date. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days'
advance notice by email or prominent in-app notification prior to the change
taking effect. After the policy is updated, you may be required to
affirmatively acknowledge the new terms the next time you log in.
Your continued
use of the Service after the updated policy takes effect constitutes your
acknowledgment of the changes. If you do not agree to the updated policy, you
should discontinue use of the Service and close your account.
If you have
questions, concerns, or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or our data
practices, please contact us through any of the following channels:
