Slickdeals Browser Extension Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 19, 2023
Slickdeals provides this privacy policy for the Slickdeals browser extension (“Extension”), which helps you find deals and apply coupons.
As further explained below, Slickdeals does not sell personal information that we collect through the Extension. Other Slickdeals services, such as our website and app, have different information practices that are not covered by this privacy policy. For information about other Slickdeals services, please see the Slickdeals Privacy Policy.
How Does the Extension Collect and Use Information?
Our Extension collects information to provide the best experience for our users and to help our shoppers win everywhere.
As you use your browser with our Extension installed, you will know that you are visiting a Slickdeals-supported site when the Slickdeals icon on the Extension lights up in blue. Only when you are visiting a Slickdeals-supported site, we may collect the following information to operate and improve the Extension as explained below:
- Information about the pages you visit, such as to offer you deals, coupons, or information related to products and to apply deals or coupons automatically;
- Items you add to your shopping cart or wishlist, such as to check if there are relevant deals or offers related to your items;
- Deal or coupon codes that you use, such as to analyze what codes Extension users apply and/or the effectiveness of the codes;
- Purchases you make, such as to identify deals that may be of interest to you and/or check if you are eligible for cashback or other rewards; and
- Product or commerce related search terms that you use on a Slickdeals-supported site, such as to check if we have deals, coupons, or offers that are relevant.
We also collect technical information like your operating system version, browser version, device type, IP address, and the dates and times that you use our Extension.
We may use all of the information that we collect to show you more relevant deals, offers, advertising, and other content (“Content”). We may show that relevant Content both on the Extension and on other Slickdeals services. The Extension itself may feature such Content regardless of the website you are visiting at the time. Other Slickdeals services may also feature such Content, including on our website, in our email communications, and in texts. We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with the advertising activity described in this paragraph. You can learn more about the DAA Self-Regulatory Principles at youradchoices.com. If you want Slickdeals to stop collecting and using information from the Extension in this way, you can uninstall the Extension at any time. Uninstalling the Extension will not stop advertising from appearing in your browser.
If you have a Slickdeals account and/or use other Slickdeals services, we will link information regarding your account and/or your use of other Slickdeals services with information collected from the Extension. The data linked to such Extension data will be used as described in the Slickdeals Privacy Policy.
The Extension may sometimes direct you to other Slickdeals services. For example, if you register for or log into a Slickdeals account or use the search functionality in the Extension, the Extension will automatically direct you to the Slickdeals website, where the Slickdeals Privacy Policy applies.
How Does the Extension Share Information?
We do not sell personal information we collect through the Extension, though we may share the information we collect through the Extension with other parties in limited ways, including the following:
- We may share information with our service providers that perform services on our behalf (also known as “processors”). For example, this can include data processing, customer service functions, personalizing deals on the Extension, and hosting.
- We may share information in connection with an actual or potential merger, sale, acquisition, assignment, or transfer of all or part of our business, including at bankruptcy.
- We may share information pursuant to a subpoena, court order, governmental inquiry, or other legal process or as otherwise required by law, or to protect our rights or the rights of third parties.
- We may share information with your consent or as otherwise disclosed at the time of data collection or sharing.
We may share deidentified information and aggregate information without limitation. We maintain and use deidentified information only in deidentified form—we do not attempt to reidentify such information except as needed to determine that the information is appropriately deidentified.
How Does the Extension Store Information?
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to store the information we collect.
What About Cookies?
The Extension does not use cookies; it uses other ways of storing data about a session or about your use of the Extension over time, such as local storage.
What About Third-Party Features?
You can access third-party features, such as ads, websites, mobile sites, apps, and/or interactive elements, directly from deals and other links on the Extension. When you interact with these features, you are providing information directly to third parties and/or directing Slickdeals to send information to third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the information sent to or collected by third parties when you interact with these features or you access their properties. We cannot control the privacy practices of third parties, and we are not responsible for such practices. If you have questions about their privacy practices, we encourage you to carefully review the privacy policy of any third parties before you visit their properties or interact with them on our Extension.
