1. Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to provide the Service:
- Email address. Used to sign you in (passwordless one-time code) and to send the price-drop alerts you opt into.
- Profile fields. Optional first name, last name, display name. You can leave these blank.
- Wishlists & alerts. Products you save and the alerts you set up.
- Usage data. Pages you view, products you click. Aggregated and used only to surface better recommendations and improve the Service.
- Device data. Standard server logs (IP address, browser, referring page). Retained only as long as needed for security and debugging.
We do not collect passwords (we use one-time email codes instead), payment information (your purchase happens on the destination marketplace, not on Diskount), or precise location.
We use Microsoft Clarity to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioural metrics, heatmaps, and session replay so we can improve the Service. Website usage data is captured using first- and third-party cookies and similar tracking technologies to determine the popularity of pages and products, optimise the site, and protect against fraud and abuse. We do not use Clarity for advertising. Clarity does not capture passwords or credit card numbers, and form input is masked by default. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement, and Clarity's cookie list for the exact cookies set.
2. How We Use Information
- Provide and operate the Service (sign-in, wishlists, alerts).
- Send transactional emails (sign-in codes, price-drop alerts you opt into).
- Improve recommendations and detect bugs.
- Protect against abuse (rate limiting, fraud detection).
We do not use your data to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell your data to third parties.
5. Marketplace Integrations
Diskount surfaces products from third-party marketplaces (currently Amazon, with Walmart and others coming soon). Clicking a "Shop" link takes you to the destination marketplace, where its own privacy policy governs the rest of your visit. We do not control how those marketplaces collect or use your data once you leave Diskount.
6. Data Retention
We keep your account data for as long as you maintain a Diskount account. You can delete your account at any time from your account settings, which permanently removes your profile, wishlists, and alerts. Server logs are kept for up to 30 days for security purposes.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your account and associated data.
- Export your data in a portable format.
- Opt out of marketing emails (you can unsubscribe from any email we send).
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected].
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), encryption at rest for sensitive fields, and access controls. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so we encourage you to use a strong, unique password for the email account you sign in with.
9. Children's Privacy
Diskount is not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated to signed-in users via email.
