4. Information Sharing

We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With Vendors: When you claim a deal, the Vendor receives your name and email to verify your redemption. Vendors do not receive your payment details.
• Payment Processors: We use Stripe for payment processing. Stripe handles your payment data under their own privacy policy. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
• Service Providers: We use Supabase for database hosting and Vercel for application hosting. These providers process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of the transaction.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
• Secure authentication using Supabase Auth with row-level security
• Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
• Unique, single-use QR codes and 6-digit redemption codes for deal verification
• Limited employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis

While we strive to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. Transaction records (deal claims, redemptions) are retained for a minimum of 3 years for accounting and legal purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Cookies & Tracking

We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for authentication, session management, and security. These cannot be disabled.
• Preference Cookies: Store your deal preferences (categories, location) to personalize your experience.
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how users interact with the platform. We use privacy-focused analytics that do not track individual users across websites.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
