Privacy Policy

This is the privacy policy for 99coupons.ai. We've tried to write it like a normal human being would — no walls of legalese, no buried clauses. If something here is unclear, email us and we'll explain it like we would to a friend.

Quick note on where we live: our entire site runs on a single server in Ashburn, Virginia. The site is US-hosted, but we built our data practices around GDPR — the strictest privacy regime on the planet — and we apply those rules to every visitor regardless of where they're connecting from. A lot of coupon sites quietly hand your visit off to a dozen ad-tech vendors the moment you load the page. We don't. That's intentional.

What we collect

We collect as little as we can get away with while still running a functional website. Here's the complete list:

• Your IP address. Every web server in existence sees this — it's how the internet routes pages back to your device. We keep it in our access logs for a short window (more on that below).
• Your browser and operating system. Things like "Chrome on macOS" or "Safari on iPhone." This helps us notice when something is broken for a particular device.
• The pages you visit on our site. Aggregated, not tied to your identity. We use this to figure out which stores and coupons people actually care about.
• Your email address — only if you subscribe to the newsletter. If you never type your email into the signup box, we never have it. Simple as that.

That's it. We don't run any third-party JavaScript trackers, no Facebook Pixel, no Google Analytics, no session replay tools watching you scroll.

What we DON'T collect

It's almost easier to describe by what's missing. We do not collect:

• Your name
• Your home address or shipping address
• Your phone number
• Your date of birth
• Your credit card or any payment information — ever
• Your location beyond the rough country your IP suggests
• Your activity on other websites

On the payment side specifically: when you click a coupon and head to a merchant's site to buy something, that checkout happens entirely on the merchant's website. Your card number goes from your browser to their payment processor. It never touches our server. We genuinely couldn't see it even if we wanted to.

We also don't have user accounts yet. There are no passwords for us to lose in a breach because there are no passwords to lose. When we do add accounts later (it's on the roadmap), we'll update this policy first and explain exactly what changes.

Cookies and tracking

We use one small first-party cookie for basic, anonymous analytics — counting page views, mostly. It doesn't follow you off our site.

The one thing we want to be upfront about: when you click an outbound coupon link, you're being handed off to an affiliate network (Awin, CJ, Impact, or Rakuten, depending on the merchant). Those networks drop their own tracking cookie at that moment so the merchant can tell the network — and the network can tell us — that the sale came from our site. That's how we get paid.

You can read about every cookie in detail on our cookies page. Your browser settings can block any of them.

How we use what we collect

The short version: to keep the site working, to keep the site honest, and to send the newsletter you asked for. The slightly longer version:

• Site performance. Logs and aggregate page views help us spot slow pages, broken coupons, and 404 errors.
• Fraud and abuse prevention. If a single IP starts hammering the site or scraping our coupons, we need to be able to see that and respond.
• Newsletter delivery. If you subscribed, we use your email to send you the weekly coupon roundup. Nothing else.
• Coupon verification. We pair AI checks with human editors to confirm codes work. None of that involves your personal data — it's about the codes, not you.

Sharing data

We do not sell your data. We have never sold it, and we have no business model that would ever require us to.

The only third parties who learn anything about your visit are the affiliate networks mentioned above, and only when you click an outbound link to a merchant. At that point, the network needs to know the click happened so the merchant can credit us for the sale. That credit is literally how this site funds itself — when you buy something at a normal price, the merchant pays the network, the network pays us, and you pay nothing extra.

If we're ever legally required to hand over information (a court order, for instance), we'll comply with the minimum required by law and push back on anything that looks like overreach.

Your rights under GDPR and CCPA

Even though we're US-hosted, we serve a global audience and apply GDPR-level rights to everyone — European or not. You can ask us to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Correct anything that's wrong
• Delete your data entirely ("the right to be forgotten")
• Export your data in a portable format
• Object to how we're processing it

In practice, since we hold almost nothing about anonymous visitors, most requests come down to one thing: "please remove my email from the newsletter list." Every newsletter we send has a one-click unsubscribe link that does exactly that, immediately. For anything else, email us and we'll handle it within 30 days.

Data retention

We don't hoard data. Here's how long things stick around:

• Server access logs: 30 days, then automatically deleted.
• Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe. The moment you do, your email is removed from our list.
• Aggregate analytics: kept indefinitely, but it's anonymous counts — not tied to any individual.
• Behavioral profiles: none. We don't build them.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. If you're a parent or guardian and you believe a child has subscribed to our newsletter, email us and we'll remove the address right away.

Changes to this policy

If we make a meaningful change to how we handle your data — adding user accounts, switching to a new email provider, anything that actually affects you — we'll announce it in the newsletter and post the updated policy on this page with a fresh "last updated" date. Cosmetic edits (fixing typos, rewording a sentence) won't trigger an announcement.

How to contact us
