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.

 

1. Scope and Applicability

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.

 

2. Information We Collect

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.

 

3. How We Use Your Information

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.

 

4. Advertising and Ad-Supported Access

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.

 

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

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.

 

6. How We Disclose Your Information

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.

 

7. Business Transfers and User Data as a Business Asset

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.

 

8. Data Retention

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].

 

9. Data Security

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.

 

10. Children's Privacy

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.

 

11. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

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.

 

12. U.S. State Privacy Rights

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.

 

13. Privacy Rights Appeals Process

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.

 

14. SMS and Text Message Communications

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.

 

15. Employment Applicant Privacy

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.

 

16. Third-Party Links and Services

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.

 

17. Do Not Track

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.

 

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

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.
