4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Discount Whisper and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies.
Cookies are small files stored on a visitor’s device that can support website functionality, remember preferences, measure website activity, and assist with advertising or affiliate attribution.
We may use the following categories of cookies:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to operate properly. They may support security, navigation, page loading, forms, and visitor privacy preferences.
Functional Cookies
These cookies help remember choices and improve the functionality or convenience of the website.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors find and interact with Discount Whisper, which pages are viewed, and how the website performs.
Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be used by us or our advertising partners to measure advertising, understand interests, limit repeated advertisements, or provide more relevant advertising on other websites.
Affiliate-Tracking Cookies
Affiliate networks and merchants may place or read cookies when you click an affiliate link. These cookies help determine whether a purchase or qualifying action should be attributed to Discount Whisper.
The website’s existing privacy-choice information states that cookies and similar technologies may be used and that information may be shared with advertising partners to provide more relevant advertising.
Where required by law, non-essential cookies will be used only after appropriate consent has been obtained. Privacy regulators advise that consent for non-essential cookies should be informed and involve a clear positive action rather than being hidden only within a privacy policy.
You may be able to manage cookies through:
- The cookie-preference tool available on our website
- Your browser settings
- Your device settings
- Opt-out tools provided by advertising or analytics providers
Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
5. Affiliate Links
Discount Whisper participates in affiliate marketing arrangements. Some links on the website may contain tracking identifiers that allow an affiliate network or merchant to recognise that you were referred by Discount Whisper.
When you click an affiliate link:
- You may be redirected to a third-party merchant
- The merchant or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technologies
- The merchant may collect information under its own privacy policy
- We may receive confirmation of a qualifying click, purchase, or action
- Affilusion L.L.C. may earn a commission
The website currently informs visitors that it may earn a commission when a visitor uses one of its links to make a purchase.
Discount Whisper does not directly process payments, manage orders, or collect complete payment-card information for purchases completed on third-party merchant websites.
6. Email Communications
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we may use your email address to send:
- Shopping guides
- Savings tips
- Website updates
- Promotional information
- Affiliate-supported content
- Other communications related to Discount Whisper
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in the email or by contacting us at admin@discountwhisper.com.
Unsubscribing from promotional communications may not prevent us from sending essential administrative or transactional messages relating to a request you submitted.
U.S. commercial-email rules give recipients the right to stop receiving qualifying commercial email messages.
7. How We Disclose Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:
Service Providers
We may use service providers for:
- Website hosting
- Website development and maintenance
- Data storage
- Email and newsletter delivery
- Analytics and performance measurement
- Advertising
- Affiliate tracking
- Cybersecurity
- Spam prevention
- Customer communication
- Legal, accounting, and professional support
These providers may process information on our behalf or under their own applicable terms and privacy policies.
Affiliate Networks and Merchants
When you use an affiliate link, relevant click, device, referral, and transaction-attribution information may be shared with or collected by affiliate networks and third-party merchants.
Advertising and Analytics Partners
We may permit advertising and analytics partners to collect or receive information about website interactions through cookies and similar technologies.
Some disclosures for interest-based advertising may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or use for targeted advertising under certain privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged directly for personal information.
Legal and Regulatory Authorities
We may disclose information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law
- Respond to a subpoena, court order, or lawful government request
- Investigate fraud, abuse, or illegal activity
- Protect the security of the website
- Protect our rights, users, or the public
- Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
Business Transfers
Personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, asset sale, restructuring, bankruptcy, or other business transaction.
With Your Direction or Consent
We may disclose information when you request, direct, or consent to the disclosure.
8. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
However, the use of third-party advertising, analytics, and tracking technologies may be legally defined as a sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising disclosure in some jurisdictions.
Where applicable, you may request to opt out of these activities by:
- Using the website’s privacy or cookie-preference controls
- Using a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option, where provided
- Contacting us at admin@discountwhisper.com
- Using a legally recognised browser-based opt-out preference signal
Where required by applicable law, we will process supported opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out for the browser or device sending the signal. California privacy guidance recognises Global Privacy Control as an opt-out mechanism for covered online sales or sharing.
9. Legal Bases for Processing
For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions requiring a lawful basis, we may rely on:
Consent
We may rely on your consent for newsletter subscriptions, non-essential cookies, targeted advertising, or other activities where consent is required.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Legitimate Interests
We may process information where necessary for legitimate interests such as:
- Operating and improving the website
- Understanding website performance
- Responding to inquiries
- Preventing misuse and fraud
- Maintaining security
- Supporting our publishing and affiliate business
We consider whether these interests are overridden by your privacy rights.
Contractual Necessity
We may process information when necessary to take steps at your request or fulfil an agreement with you.
Legal Obligations
We may process or retain information where required to comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations.
These are recognised categories of lawful processing under European data-protection rules.
10. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:
- Respond to inquiries
- Maintain subscription preferences
- Operate and improve the website
- Maintain security and prevent fraud
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
- Comply with legal, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and whether an ongoing legitimate business need exists.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymise, or securely isolate it.
11. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, organisational, and technical measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.
However, no website, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You provide information through the internet at your own risk and are responsible for taking reasonable precautions when using online services.
12. International Data Transfers
Affilusion L.L.C. is based in the United States. Our service providers and partners may operate in the United States and other countries.
As a result, personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in a country outside your state, province, or country of residence. That country may have different data-protection laws.
Where required, we may use appropriate legal safeguards for international transfers, such as approved contractual protections. The European Commission recognises Standard Contractual Clauses as a possible safeguard for certain transfers of personal data outside the European Economic Area.
13. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of personal information
- Request a portable copy of certain information
- Restrict certain processing
- Object to certain processing
- Withdraw consent
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising
- Request information about categories of data collected and disclosed
- Appeal a decision relating to a privacy request
- Lodge a complaint with an appropriate regulator
- Exercise your rights without unlawful discrimination
European data-protection rules may provide rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and protection relating to certain automated decisions.
California law may provide qualifying consumers with rights relating to access, correction, deletion, sale or sharing opt-outs, and notices about business privacy practices. These obligations apply only when a business and the processing activity fall within the law’s scope.
Submitting a Privacy Request
To submit a privacy request, email:
admin@discountwhisper.com
Please include:
- Your name
- The email address connected with your interaction
- Your country or state of residence
- The right you wish to exercise
- Sufficient details to help us understand your request
We may request additional information to reasonably verify your identity and protect personal information from unauthorised disclosure.
An authorised agent may submit a request where permitted by law. We may require evidence of the agent’s authority and may ask you to verify your identity directly.
We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. Certain requests may be denied or limited where a legal exception applies.
14. Children’s Privacy
Discount Whisper is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information without appropriate authorisation, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
COPPA imposes specific requirements on covered websites directed to children under 13 and on certain general-audience services that have actual knowledge that they are collecting information from a child under 13.
A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted personal information may contact us at admin@discountwhisper.com.
15. Third-Party Websites
Discount Whisper contains links to websites operated by merchants, brands, affiliate networks, advertisers, social media platforms, and other third parties.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or business practices of third-party websites.
When you leave Discount Whisper, the third party’s privacy policy and terms apply. We encourage you to review those policies before providing personal information or completing a transaction.
16. Social Media
Our website may include links to social media platforms.
When you visit or interact with a social media platform, that platform may collect information about you according to its own privacy policy. Your interactions with social media features are governed by the applicable platform rather than this Privacy Policy.
17. Do Not Track
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no universally applied standard governing all Do Not Track signals, the website may not respond to every such signal.
This is separate from legally recognised opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, which will be handled where required by applicable law.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:
- Our website
- Our business practices
- Technologies and service providers
- Privacy requirements
- Legal or regulatory obligations
When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated through an appropriate notice on the website.
Your continued use of Discount Whisper after an updated Privacy Policy is posted means that you acknowledge the revised policy.
