This policy explains what information Black Friday Deals Store collects when you visit, why, and what choices you have. It applies to blackfridaydealsstore.net.
Who we are
Black Friday Deals Store is an independent editorial website publishing shopping guides. We are not a retailer and we do not process orders or payments.
Because we sell nothing, we never collect payment card details, billing addresses or delivery addresses.
Information you give us directly
The only place on this site where you can submit information is the contact form. It asks for your name, your email address, a subject and your message.
We use that information solely to reply to you and, where relevant, to correct the page you wrote about. We do not add contact form senders to a mailing list.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our server records standard technical data when a page is requested: IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page and the time of the request.
This data is used to keep the site running, diagnose faults and detect abuse.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which guides people read and how they arrive. It tells us aggregate patterns, not who you are.
Google processes this data on our behalf. You can opt out across all sites using Google’s own browser add-on, or by blocking analytics cookies in your browser.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This site uses them in three ways.
Necessary cookies keep the site working, including security and content delivery through our network provider.
Analytics cookies support the measurement described above.
Affiliate cookies are set by Amazon, not by us, when you follow a product link. They let Amazon attribute a purchase to this site so that a commission can be paid.
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking analytics and affiliate cookies does not stop you reading the site.
Affiliate links and Amazon
Product links on this site are affiliate links to Amazon. When you follow one, you leave this site and Amazon’s own privacy policy governs what happens next.
We receive aggregate reporting on clicks and resulting orders. We do not receive your name, your address or your payment details, and we cannot identify individual buyers.
Who processes data for us
Our web hosting provider stores the site and its server logs. Our content delivery and security provider handles traffic in transit. Google provides analytics.
Each of these acts as a processor for the limited purposes above. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.
How long we keep information
Contact form messages are kept while they are useful for answering you and for the record of any correction made, then deleted.
Server logs are retained for a short period for security and diagnostics. Analytics data is retained according to the settings in our analytics account.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted.
Because this site collects so little, in most cases the only personal data we hold is a contact form message you chose to send.
To make a request, use the contact page and describe what you want.
Children
This site is intended for adults making purchasing decisions. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
If our practices change, we will update this page. Material changes will be described here rather than made silently.
