This policy covers BlackFriday.LTD, including deal research, retailer ad archives, discussions, saved deals, contact forms and advertiser services. The BlackFriday.LTD team uses the information described here to run these services. Retailers and other services you visit through our links have their own privacy policies.
Information you provide
When you contact us, we receive the details you enter, such as your name, email address, subject and message. We store requests privately so our team can respond. A notification may also be sent to our team’s email inbox.
An account includes your name or display name, email address, account identifiers and authentication information. We use account information for sign-in, password recovery, email verification and the features you request. Advertising records can include artwork, destination links, booking dates, placement, price, payment references, payment status and support correspondence.
Comments, images and saved deals
Your approved comments, display name and images you share can be public. WordPress also stores comment contact details and technical information, such as an IP address and browser information, for administration and moderation. Your comment email address is not displayed publicly by the theme. Uploaded media, including campaign artwork, can be accessible by its URL even before a comment or campaign is approved. Do not upload private information. Original image files can contain location or other embedded metadata.
Signed-in votes and saved deals are associated with your account. Your account’s saved list is private to that account. Guest bookmarks are stored in the browser rather than an account. Someone using the same browser profile may be able to see them. A comment draft can also remain in that browser before you submit it.
Technical information and cookies
Website requests expose technical details such as an IP address, requested URL and browser information to the services delivering and protecting the site. Security and hosting services may keep access or error logs. The site uses rate limits and hashed identifiers to reduce abuse.
Cookies and browser storage support sign-in, cookie choices, community reactions, saved deals and draft comments. Optional analytics or marketing code configured through the site’s cookie-choice system loads after acceptance. Our Cookie policy explains these controls and the storage used by the theme. Code or services added separately can have additional data practices.
How we use and share information
We use information to provide requested features, respond to inquiries, moderate discussions, protect the site, administer advertising, reconcile payments and address legal or rights-related requests. Service providers for hosting, site management, email, security and payments may process the information needed for their work. We may disclose relevant information when legally required or to investigate fraud, abuse or a rights complaint.
Our built-in advertising reports contain aggregate daily impression and click estimates by campaign. They are not a count of identified individual shoppers. Sharing a deal uses ordinary share links or your browser’s sharing feature. The social service you choose then handles the information you send under its own terms.
If a shopping assistant is available, a question you submit and the context needed to answer it may be sent to the configured AI service. Avoid including confidential or sensitive information in a question. An automated answer can be mistaken. Confirm prices and schedules with the retailer.
Retailer links and advertising payments
Following a deal or advertisement takes you to another service. The destination and an affiliate network may receive referral information and use their own cookies or other identifiers. Purchases, delivery and returns for products take place with the retailer.
When advertising checkout is available, Stripe processes the payment. Our booking system stores transaction references, amounts and status. It does not collect your full payment card number or card security code. Information you provide to Stripe is handled under Stripe’s privacy policy.
How long information remains
Retention depends on the purpose and type of record. Public comments and their discussion history may remain until removed. Account and advertising records may remain while needed to provide the service, resolve a dispute, maintain security or meet accounting and legal obligations. Backups and operational logs may have separate retention cycles.
Browser bookmarks and cookie choices remain until removed or changed in that browser. Comment drafts are restored for up to seven days. An older draft is discarded when that discussion is loaded again. The guest-reaction cookie expires after 180 days. Cookie expiry does not itself delete historical database records associated with its hashed identifier.
Your choices and privacy requests
You can change optional cookie choices through Cookie settings, clear site data in your browser, remove saved deals and choose what to post publicly. Clearing browser data can sign you out and remove guest bookmarks and drafts. Blocking necessary cookies can prevent sign-in or voting.
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to access, correct, receive a copy of or request deletion of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain uses. Send a privacy request through our Contact page and identify the relevant account or content. We may need to verify your identity. Some information may need to be retained for security, disputes or legal obligations. Do not send a password or full payment card details.
Children, security and policy updates
This site is a general shopping resource and is not directed to children under 13. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information. We use access controls and other safeguards, but no internet service can promise absolute security.
We may update this policy as the service changes. The date above reflects the latest edit to this page. Use our Contact page for questions about this policy or a privacy concern.
