Privacy policy
This policy explains what the Couponuts browser extension ("Couponuts", "we") collects, why, and what we do with it. Couponuts does not require an account and does not ask for your name, email or payment details.
What the extension sends to us
- The domain of the page you are on (for example
shop.example.com), so we can check whether we have coupon codes for that shop. We do not send page content, form data or anything you type. - An anonymous install ID — a random identifier created when the extension is installed. It is not linked to your name, email or Google account.
- Usage events: that coupons were shown for a shop, that a code was copied, and that a shop was opened from the extension. Each event contains the install ID, the shop and coupon IDs, and the time. Each batch of events also carries the extension version and your browser's language.
- Searches in the extension: the shop name you type into the search field, and a two-letter country code taken from your browser's language to pick popular shops for your country.
- Shops you follow and your push subscription, only if you turn on notifications for a shop. The subscription is a technical address provided by your browser so we can deliver the notification.
What we use it for
- Showing coupon codes for the shop you are visiting.
- Sending notifications about new codes for shops you follow.
- Counting how often coupons are shown, copied and used, to keep the list useful and to fix broken codes.
We do not sell this data, do not use it for advertising profiles or credit decisions, and do not transfer it to third parties except as described below.
Affiliate links
When you copy a code or open a deal on a shop's page, that page reloads through our partner (affiliate) link and brings you back to the same page. For this, the page address without its query string (for example shop.example.com/cart) is passed to our partner platform. When you pick a shop in the extension's search, it opens in a new tab through the same kind of link. The shop or affiliate network may set its own cookie to attribute a purchase, and we may receive a commission. Cookies set by shops are governed by their own privacy policies.
The couponuts.com website
The website shows ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can turn off personalised ads in Google Ad Settings (adssettings.google.com). The browser extension shows no ads.
If you turn on notifications for a store on the website, we keep your browser's push subscription, its language and the stores you follow, and use them only to send those notifications. Turn the button off or block notifications in the browser to stop them.
Who processes the data
- Our server, hosted by DigitalOcean.
- Our coupon and affiliate partner platform, which receives the shop domain to look up coupons. Shop logos in the extension are loaded directly from this platform's image server, so it sees your IP address when a logo is shown.
- Your browser's push service (for example Google Firebase Cloud Messaging in Chrome), only if you turn on notifications.
How long we keep it
Usage events are deleted after 24 months. Follows and push subscriptions are deleted when you unfollow a shop or turn notifications off for Couponuts; after you uninstall the extension, they are deleted the next time a notification can no longer be delivered.
Your choices
- Turn notifications off at any time from the extension or your browser settings.
- Uninstall the extension to stop all data collection.
- Email care@couponuts.com to ask for deletion of data linked to your install ID.
