Dealmela Extension - Privacy Policy

Created: April 10, 2022 Last Updated: September 20, 2024

Dealmela Extension ("we" or "us") consider it our responsibility to protect your data and privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, store, use and distribute information through our software, website, documentation, and related services (together, the "Services"). Capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning as set forth in the Terms of Service for the Services.

This Policy is to make You aware of the procedures adopted by Us with respect to collection, use, storage, processing, disclosure and protection of any information provided by You, in the capacity of an individual, a guest user, browser and/or representative of an entity, who uses our Services ("User" or "You/r").

Collection of Information

Information collected by our extension

This 'bare minimum' of information is the information needed to let Dealmela Extension work. Dealmela Extension will update its list with coupons each day and get the coupons detected in the website you're visiting. The 'bare minimum' information that Dealmela Extension needs to work is:

1. Date and time of each request

2. IP Address of your computer

3. An unique ID (random generated hash) to remember you

4. hostname to query our API and get the coupons we detected in the website you are visiting

5. referrer information for each request. Referrer information typically includes the URL of the previous page that led the user to the website. This can help track the user's browsing history and behavior

Dealmela Extension may make further requests to the (extension.dealmela.com) website as required. These requests are subject to the usual (extension.dealmela.com) privacy policy.

The IP-addresses are solely collected for geolocation purposes but only on city level or higher (city, country, continent)

To be clear, when you choose to share information with us, the list of attributes we collect is not about you. It's about the url that we want to find and monitor. The only way we will collect this url information is if you choose to share your information with us.

Please note that we do not collect any personal information such as email, name or phone number
