BargainsMate ("BargainsMate", "we", "us", or "our") operates the BargainsMate website at https://bargainsmate.com (the "Website").
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect when you use the Website, how we use it, when we may share it, and the rights you have in relation to your personal information.
We aim to collect and use only the information that is reasonably necessary to operate and improve BargainsMate.
The organisation responsible for your personal information is:
BargainsMate
Email: legal@bargainsmate.com
For the purposes of applicable UK data-protection law, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018, we are the data controller for the personal information we process through the Website, except where this Privacy Policy explains otherwise.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, you can contact us at legal@bargainsmate.com.
BargainsMate is a directory of hand-picked deals from around the web. We find and present sign-up offers, discounts, referral codes and other promotions offered by websites and apps.
We may also provide our own opinions or commentary about the services and offers featured on the Website.
Some links, promotional codes and offers featured on BargainsMate may be affiliate or referral links. If you use one of these links or codes, we may receive a monetary or other reward from the relevant company.
This does not normally increase the price you pay.
Affiliate relationships do not determine whether we collect your personal information. The relevant third-party company may, however, process information about you when you visit or use its website or service. You should review that company's own privacy policy for information about its processing activities.
The information we collect depends on how you use the Website.
At present, BargainsMate may not require you to create an account or provide personal information in order to browse the Website.
If you contact us by email or otherwise communicate with us, we may receive information such as:
We use this information to respond to your enquiry and manage our communications with you.
Please do not send us sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your enquiry.
When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, server, security services, analytics providers, or other technologies used to operate the Website.
Depending on the services we use, this may include:
Some of this information may constitute personal data under applicable data-protection law.
BargainsMate may use cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that can be used for purposes such as making a website function correctly, remembering preferences, understanding how visitors use a website, measuring website performance, or supporting advertising and affiliate functionality.
The specific cookies used by BargainsMate depend on the services and technologies we have enabled.
Where consent is legally required before a non-essential cookie or similar technology is placed on your device, we will ask for your consent before doing so.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
If we introduce additional analytics, advertising, affiliate-tracking, or other non-essential cookies, we may provide additional information about those technologies through a cookie notice or cookie settings tool.
We may use personal information for the following purposes:
We will not use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy unless we have a lawful basis to do so.
Under the UK GDPR, we need a lawful basis for processing personal information.
Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
We may process information where it is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided that those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.
For example, this may include operating and securing our Website, preventing abuse, understanding Website performance, and improving our services.
Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before processing your personal information for particular purposes, such as certain non-essential cookies or marketing activities.
You can withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew it.
Where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, we may rely on contractual necessity.
We may process personal information where this is necessary for us to comply with a legal obligation.
We may process information where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
BargainsMate may use affiliate links, referral links, promotional codes and similar arrangements.
When you click an affiliate or referral link, the third-party company or its affiliate-tracking provider may use cookies or similar technologies to determine that you arrived at its website through BargainsMate.
This information is generally controlled by the relevant third party rather than BargainsMate.
The third party may therefore process information such as your IP address, browser/device information, referral information, and information about purchases or registrations made through the referral.
The third party's own privacy policy and cookie policy will apply to its processing of your information.
We do not control how third-party companies process information after you leave BargainsMate.
BargainsMate contains links to websites and services operated by third parties.
These websites are independent from BargainsMate and have their own privacy policies, terms and cookie practices.
Once you leave BargainsMate and visit a third-party website, that third party is responsible for how it processes your information.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing it with personal information.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share personal information with third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
These parties may include:
Where appropriate, we require service providers that process personal information on our behalf to protect that information and process it only in accordance with our instructions and applicable law.
We may also disclose information where necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights.
Some of the service providers we use may process personal information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred outside the UK, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with applicable data-protection law.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include relying on an adequacy decision, appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum to EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including where necessary to satisfy legal, accounting, reporting or dispute-resolution requirements.
The exact retention period depends on the type of information and why we hold it.
For example, correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with an enquiry and maintain appropriate records.
When information is no longer required, we will delete it or anonymise it where reasonably possible.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
If we become aware of a personal-data breach that requires notification under applicable law, we will take the steps required by law.
Depending on the circumstances and subject to applicable legal exceptions, you may have the right to:
You also have the right to object to direct marketing.
To exercise your rights, contact us at:
We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
We will normally respond to a valid request without undue delay and within the period required by applicable data-protection law.
If you have concerns about how we use your personal information, we would appreciate the opportunity to address them first.
You can contact us at:
You also have the right to complain to the UK's data-protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office ("ICO"), if you believe that your personal information has been handled unlawfully.
You can find information about the ICO and how to make a complaint on its website.
BargainsMate is not specifically directed at children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children where doing so would be unlawful.
If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, delete the information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
If we make significant changes to how we process personal information, we may provide additional notice where required by law.
