1. Overview and Scope

smartcartvouchers ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website https://smartcartvouchers.com. We are committed to safeguarding the digital privacy of all visitors. This Privacy Policy details our data collection, processing, retention, and disclosure practices in accordance with:

  • The European Union and United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (EU/UK GDPR - Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
  • The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CCPA/CPRA - Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.).
  • Applicable consumer privacy legislation in Canada (PIPEDA) and Australia (Privacy Act 1988).

2. Data We Collect

We practice strict data minimization: users are never required to register an account, log in, or provide payment details to access discount vouchers on smartcartvouchers.com.

A. Information Automatically Collected:

  • Network & Device Telemetry: Anonymized IP addresses, browser vendor and version, operating system, device screen resolution, language settings, and referring/exit URLs.
  • Navigation & Interaction Data: Timestamps of page visits, scroll depth, search queries entered into the coupon search bar, category filter selections, and engagement with coupon cards.
  • Affiliate Click Events: Non-personally identifiable unique transaction click IDs (such as irclickid from Impact.com), merchant destination identifiers, timestamp of click-to-reveal activations, and coupon code string copied.

B. Information You Provide Voluntarily:

  • Communication Data: Name, email address, message category, and transaction inquiry details submitted through our interactive Contact Us form.

3. Lawful Bases for Processing (GDPR Article 6)

If you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our processing of your personal data relies on:

  1. Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Operating, securing, debugging, and optimizing our free-to-use coupon search directory; detecting fraud or automated scraping; and maintaining server stability.
  2. Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): Deploying non-essential analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4), conversion tags (Google Ads), and affiliate tracking identifiers (Impact.com). You maintain the right to withdraw consent at any time via our Cookie Settings banner.
  3. Contractual / Legal Compliance (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Responding to formal data subject access requests and maintaining accounting records.

4. Affiliate Tracking Pixels & Cookies

When you click a "Get Promo Code" or "Activate Deal" button on smartcartvouchers.com, you are redirected to the selected retailer's digital store through an affiliate tracking link. During this event:

  • An encrypted tracking pixel or cookie identifier is set by the designated affiliate marketing network (primarily Impact.com, CJ, Rakuten, or Awin).
  • This tracking token contains no personal identity details (such as your name, billing address, or credit card information). Its sole technical function is to record that the shopper was referred by smartcartvouchers.com, enabling the merchant to credit our platform with an affiliate referral commission.

5. Third-Party Analytics & Infrastructure

We utilize reputable third-party technology providers to analyze site performance:

  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4): Collects aggregated, pseudonymized behavioral data. IP anonymization is permanently enabled. Cookie identifiers: _ga, _ga_*.
  • Impact.com Performance Tracking: Monitors outbound referral conversions and attribution parameters.
  • Supabase Inc.: Cloud infrastructure and database hosting utilizing TLS 1.3 encryption for storing store and coupon directory datasets.

6. CCPA/CPRA California Consumer Privacy Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act:

  • Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the specific categories of personal information collected, sold, or shared in the preceding 12 months.
  • Right to Delete: You may request the permanent deletion of personal information we have collected directly from you.
  • Right to Correct: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: While smartcartvouchers does not sell personal identity records for monetary compensation, our deployment of third-party advertising or affiliate tracking cookies may constitute "sharing" under California law. You may opt out at any time by toggling "Marketing & Tracking Cookies" to "Disabled" in our Cookie Consent Banner or emailing us.
  • Non-Discrimination: We will never deny services, offer different levels of discount quality, or alter voucher access because you exercised your statutory privacy rights.

7. International Data Transfers & Retention

Information collected may be transferred to, stored, and processed on servers located in the United States and the European Union. Where cross-border transfers occur, we implement European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
