1. Our Content and Service

The Blog publishes original articles and aggregates content, such as coupon guides, shopping tips, images, videos, and URLs, from public sources (e.g., retailer websites, deal forums) or partners (e.g., affiliate networks). For example, a post on “Black Friday shopping tips” might include retailer coupon codes, images from deal sites, or links to offers. CouponUpto does not guarantee the accuracy, legality, or copyright of aggregated content or user comments. We aim to provide helpful information, but it’s your job to verify it before acting.

We’re not liable for errors, omissions, or issues with the content, images, videos, or URLs on the Blog. For instance:

If a coupon code in a post is expired, we’re not responsible for any inconvenience.
If an aggregated image violates copyright, we’re not liable, as we don’t own the source material.

Report problematic content (e.g., misleading tips, infringing URLs). We may review it but aren’t required to act unless legally obligated. CouponUpto doesn’t endorse the content, offers, or products mentioned in posts or comments.

2. Privacy Policy

We value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use the Blog.

a. Information We Collect

We collect data to run and improve the Blog:

Personal Information: Name, email, or other details if you share them via comments, forms, or support requests. For example, leaving a comment on a coupon post collects your name and email.
Usage Data: Pages viewed, links clicked, search queries, time spent on posts, and ad interactions. For instance, clicking a deal link in a “Cyber Monday” post tracks your activity.
Technical Data: IP address, browser (e.g., Chrome), device (e.g., phone), operating system, screen resolution, and visit times to optimize the Blog.
Third-Party Data: Information from partners, like affiliate networks or analytics tools, when you click links or ads. For example, clicking an Amazon affiliate link shares your IP with Amazon.
User Comments: Feedback, reviews, or comments you post, which we collect to display or moderate.

b. How We Use Information

We use your data to:

Run the Blog: Show relevant posts, process searches, and manage comments. For example, your comment on a deal post is displayed to other readers.
Personalize Content: Suggest posts or ads based on your interests, like showing deal ads after reading a coupon guide.
Analyze Trends: Study which posts or deals are popular to improve content.
Support You: Answer questions or fix issues using your contact details.
Moderate Comments: Review user comments to remove spam or inappropriate content.
Security: Block threats, like spam bots or hacking attempts.
Legal Compliance: Share data if required by law or to protect CouponUpto.

c. Sharing Information

We may share your data with:

Partners: Affiliate networks, ad platforms, or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to support the Blog. These have their own privacy policies.
Vendors: Companies helping with hosting, support, or moderation, under confidentiality agreements.
Legal Authorities: If required by law or to defend our rights, like in a legal case.

e. Data Security

We use encryption, secure servers, and access controls to protect your data. For example, comment form data is encrypted during submission. No system is fully secure, so you share data at your risk. We’re not liable for breaches beyond our control.

f. Cookies and Tracking

Cookies, pixels, and beacons help us improve the Blog. Cookies save preferences (e.g., comment settings) or track post views. Third-party cookies (e.g., from affiliate networks) enable ads or analytics. Disable cookies in your browser, but this may limit features like comment posting. Visit allaboutcookies.org for cookie management tips.

Usage data: Up to 12 months for analytics.
Personal data from forms/comments: Up to 24 months or until deletion is requested.

Comments: Indefinitely, unless removed for violation or by request.

Data is deleted or anonymized when no longer needed, unless required by law.

h. International Transfers

Data is processed in the U.S., where the Blog is hosted. If you’re outside the U.S., your data transfers here, subject to U.S. laws. You consent to this by using the Blog. We use safeguards like contractual clauses for international transfers.

i. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy, posting changes here with a new “Last Updated” date. Major changes (e.g., new data sharing) will be announced via a Blog notice. Continued use means you accept updates.
