Privacy policy
Last updated
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]. This policy explains what information On Sale Spot (operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], “we,” “us”) collects when you use onsalespot.com and our apps, why we collect it and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Visit statistics: pages viewed, where the visit came from (e.g., Google, a social network), device type and searches made on the site. We don't use cookies for this and we don't store your IP address: visitors are counted with a code that changes every day and can't be reversed.
- Approximate location: during the visit, your IP address is used only to look up the country, state, city and internet provider (with a database on our own server, without sending your IP to anyone). We keep only that result, never the IP. It tells us which regions our visitors come from and helps us filter out bots.
- Bots: visits from search engine and AI crawlers are counted separately and aren't part of visitor statistics.
- Product clicks: which product was clicked, without identifying who clicked it.
- Visit source: the site or app you came from is kept only for the visit, in your browser (sessionStorage, cleared when you close the tab), so we know which channels help people find deals.
- Saved items, compare list and theme: stored only in your browser (localStorage) and never sent to our server unless you sign in. We count anonymously how many times each product was saved, compared or shared, without knowing who did it.
- Account (optional): if you create an account, we store your name, email address, mobile phone number (if you provide it) and your password in hashed form (Argon2id, which not even our team can read), plus your saved items, price alerts, favorite categories and the comments you post. While you're signed in, we record which products you opened and clicked through to the store, to understand what interests you. You can delete your account and all of this data at any time in Account.
- Push notifications (optional): if you turn on price-drop alerts on your device, we store the push token your browser or app gives us so we can send those alerts. You can turn them off at any time in your browser or device settings.
- Feedback: when you use the “Feedback” button, we store your message, the rating (if you give one), the page you were on and the device type. Your email is optional and is used only to reply to you.
How we use it
To run the Service, send the price alerts and emails you asked for, show your comments, keep the site secure, prevent fraud and abuse, and understand which content is useful so we can improve it. We send marketing messages only if you opt in, and every message includes a way to opt out.
Cookies
We don't use advertising cookies or cookies for statistics. We use only strictly necessary cookies: when you sign in, you get the session cookie onsalespot_cli, which keeps you signed in and is removed when you sign out. Our own team gets the onsalespot_equipe cookie so their visits aren't counted. When you click through to a store, that store may set its own cookies, including affiliate tracking cookies, under its own policy.
Analytics tools
We use Microsoft Clarity to see how people use the site: where they click, how far they scroll and where they get stuck. It runs without cookies: each page is recorded separately and nothing links one visit to the next. Form fields are masked and we don't identify anyone with it. Data is processed by Microsoft under the Microsoft Privacy Statement.
We also use Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager, to count page views, traffic sources and clicks to stores, also without cookies. Advertising features, ad personalization and Google Signals are turned off. Data is processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.
How we share information
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only with service providers that help us run the Service (such as hosting, email delivery, push notifications and the analytics tools above), under contracts that limit how they can use it, or when required by law.
When you click a product, you go to Amazon or AliExpress, which have their own privacy policies.
How long we keep it
Account data is kept while your account is active and deleted when you delete your account. Anonymous statistics may be kept longer in aggregate form. Feedback is kept until it's no longer needed to improve the Service, or until you ask us to delete it.
Your California privacy rights
If you're a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), gives you the right to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose; to access and get a copy of it; to correct it; to delete it; to opt out of its sale or sharing; and to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We don't sell or share personal information and don't use sensitive personal information beyond what's needed to provide the Service. We won't discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
Residents of other states with consumer privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and others) have similar rights. To make a request, email [CONTACT EMAIL]. We may need to verify your identity before responding. You can also delete your account yourself at any time in Account.
Children's privacy
The Service isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Security
We use HTTPS everywhere, hash passwords and limit access to personal data to the people who need it. No system is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
