Created: April 10, 2022

Last Updated: May 29, 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.

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:

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.

  • Date and time of each request

  • IP Address of your computer

  • An unique ID (random generated hash) to remember you

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

  • 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

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**

Usage and Analytics Information

As you use our Services, we may also collect information through the use of commonly-used information-gathering tools, such as cookies, log files, and web beacons. Such Information may include standard information regarding your mobile device, browser type, browser language, Operating System, IP address, and the actions you take on our web site (such as the web pages viewed and the links clicked) or while using the Services. Collectively, this information is referred to as “Usage and Analytics Information.”

Location Information

We do not use GPS technology to collect any information regarding your precise real-time geo-location while using the Services. However, we may use elements of your Usage and Analytics Information (such as your IP address) to determine your generalized location. This information is referred to as “Generalized Location Information.”

Duration
