We're serious about protecting your privacy at MoneySavingPro. We know you care about how your personal information is used, and so do we.
On this page, we explain our Privacy Policy. These are the terms you accept by using our site and tools. We'll also give you the lowdown on how we treat your information.
We'll be honest, it's not the most exciting part of our site (with sincere apologies to our lawyer). But it's still important stuff, so buckle up!
Any questions? Just drop us an email at contact@moneysavingpro.com and we'll be happy to help.
Our Privacy Policy
By using or accessing our Services, you acknowledge that you accept the policies outlined in this Privacy Policy and give consent for us to collect, use, and share your information in the following ways.
Remember that your use of the Services is at all times subject to the Terms of Use at MoneySavingPro.com, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that we gather when you're accessing or using our Services. This Privacy Policy doesn't cover the practices of companies we don't own or control, or people that we don't manage. We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the Services.
As noted in the Terms of Service at MoneySavingPro.com, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you're under 13, please don't attempt to use the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we've collected personal information from a child under age 13, we'll delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at: contact@moneysavingpro.com.
We're always looking for ways to improve our Services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we'll let you know by posting a notice on MoneySavingPro.com.
What information do we collect?
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. For example, we may collect Personal Information such as your name, email address, and phone number. Certain information may be required to take advantage of some of our features. If you don't want to receive communications from us, just let us know by sending an email to: contact@moneysavingpro.com.
Information collected automatically
Whenever you interact with our Services, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, device identification, "cookie" information, the type of browser and/or device you're using to access our Services, and the page or feature you requested. "Cookies" are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Services are visited and by how many people.
You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device's acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking full advantage of some of our features. Our advertising partners may also transmit cookies to your browser or device when you click on ads that appear on the Services. Also, if you click on a link to a third-party website or service, the third party may also transmit cookies to you. This Privacy Policy doesn't cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we aren't responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Read our Cookies Policy.
We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Services – for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Services, and we can use that knowledge to make the Services interesting to as many users as possible.
Information collected from other websites and "Do Not Track" policy
Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect information about your online activity after you leave our Services. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Services and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Privacy Policy.
Your browser may offer you a "Do Not Track" option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you don't wish such operators to track certain online activities over time and/or across different websites. Our Services do not support "Do Not Track" requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Services and after you leave our Services.
We will not sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone. However, we may share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this section:
- Information that's no longer personally identifiable. We may remove your Personal Information so that you are not individually identified, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners, who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we never share aggregate usage information with a partner in a manner that would identify you personally, as an individual.
- Legally Required Disclosures. We may disclose personal information about you to law enforcement or other governmental authority in order to protect our interests or if we are required by law to divulge the information.
- Advertisers. We allow advertisers and/or merchant partners ("Advertisers") to choose the demographic information of users who will see their advertisements and/or promotional offers and you agree that we may provide any of the information we have collected from you in non-personally identifiable form to an Advertiser, in order for that Advertiser to select the appropriate audience for those advertisements and/or offers.
- Business Transfers. We may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that would be transferred. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.
We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we reasonably believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of our employees, our users and/or others.
Where you visit or use our website, in any manner, we may use pixels, cookies, or other tracking technologies to associate your usage of our website with an associated email (through our third party vendors). Where applicable, we may contact you via such associated email address. If you wish to opt out of these services please visit: http://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/unsubscribe?cy=VSjgpa
Is my personal information secure?
We work hard to protect your Personal Information we hold in our records, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee complete security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise security at any time. Through reasonable efforts, we protect your information through Google Cloud servers, SHA-256 encryption, text verification and other means we deem necessary to protect our users.
You can always opt not to disclose information to us, but keep in mind some information may be needed to take advantage of some of our features.
Opting out of online tracking
MoneySavingPro, just like most websites, use services from Google, Facebook and others that deploy tracking technology. Services like this use tracking technologies – like web beacons and cookies – to gather information about your device, your browsing activities, and your interactions with websites.
If you want to opt out of having your data collected through these services, here's how:
- Block cookies in your browser. Normally, browsers let you delete or reject cookies, including those used for interest-based advertising. If you want to block cookies in your browser, head to your browser settings and follow the instructions there. Browsers are generally set to accept cookies by default unless you deliberately change your settings.
- Use privacy browsers or plug-ins. By using a browser with privacy features, like Brave, or installing plug-ins like uBlock Origin or Ghostery, you can block third party website cookies used for interest-based ads.
- Block advertising ID use in your cell phone settings. Some devices let you change your settings to limit the use of the advertising ID associated with your device for interest-based advertising purposes.
- Advertising industry opt-out tools. To read how you can limit use of your information for interest-based advertising by participating companies, take a look at the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance.
- Opt-out directly with platforms. Some advertising partners allow you to opt out of having your information used for interest-based advertising. To read more about this option, you can find information from Twitter, Google, and Facebook.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy policies or opt-out guide, please let us know by emailing contact@moneysavingpro.com and we'll do everything we can to help.
