Privacy Policy

Privacy First

I respect your privacy and use as little data as possible to provide you with the best service I can.

Although this website is hosted in the United States, I respect and uphold GDPR rights for visitors from the European Economic Area. I process minimal personal data and rely on legitimate interest as the legal basis for basic analytics. If you are located in the EU/EEA, you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact me at legal@pricepergig.com.

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the CCPA:

Right to Know: You can request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information I have collected about you.
Right to Delete: You can request deletion of your personal information.
Right to Opt-Out: You can opt out of the “sale” of your personal information. Note: Affiliate tracking (described below) may constitute a “sale” under CCPA because I share data with third-party affiliate networks.
Right to Non-Discrimination: I will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at legal@pricepergig.com with your request.

Email Collection

Your email address is collected to provide the Deal Digest newsletter. It will not be shared with third parties. You may unsubscribe at any time. Additionally, by using the ‘Delete My Data’ link, you will completely remove your records from my system.

Website Analytics

I use PostHog for website analytics to understand how visitors use the site so I can improve your experience. I use memory-based storage rather than persistent cookies for analytics.

Affiliate Tracking and Cookies

When you click on product links on this website, you may be redirected through affiliate networks. These networks use cookies to track purchases and attribute commissions to me. The affiliate networks I work with include:

Amazon Associates: Amazon Privacy Notice
eBay Partner Network: eBay Privacy Notice
Rakuten Advertising: Rakuten Privacy Policy

These third-party cookies:

Track when you click a link from my site to a retailer
Remember this click for a period (typically 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the retailer)
Attribute any purchase you make to my referral if completed within that window

This tracking enables me to earn commissions that help keep this site running.

Interest-Based Advertising

I do not use behavioral targeting or interest-based advertising. The affiliate tracking described above is solely for purchase attribution (determining if you bought something after clicking my link) and does not involve building profiles of your interests or displaying targeted advertisements based on your browsing history.

How to Opt Out

If you prefer not to be tracked by affiliate cookies:

Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to block third-party cookies. Note that this may affect functionality on some retailer websites.
Private/Incognito Mode: Browsing in private mode prevents cookies from being stored.
Do Not Track: While I honor Do Not Track signals for my analytics, affiliate networks may not.
Contact Me: If you have concerns about data collection, please reach out to legal@pricepergig.com.

Please note that opting out of affiliate tracking does not affect the prices you pay at retailers.

Data Retention

Analytics data: Retained for 12 months
Email subscriptions: Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
Affiliate tracking: Controlled by third-party networks (see their privacy policies linked above)
