What information is being collected?

If you sign up as a member to BIGPriceDrops.com we will store your e-mail address and chosen username so we can get in touch.

We also store your IP address. We do this to help prevent abuse of the BIGPriceDrops.com community and it’s guidelines. For example, we may use the IP address to detect retailers who sign up for multiple accounts to try and unscrupulously promote their own services.

For the purpose of creating new features and functionality in the future (e.g. cash back and a personalised deals feed) we store information about some purchases made through the BIGPriceDrops.com site. This may include products purchased, amount spent and other associated information.

Who is collecting the data and who is it shared with?

We (Blend Local Search Marketing) hold your data and do not share it with any third parties other than set out below:

• Our website uses Google Analytics to analyse how users interact with the site. This is fairly standard practice amongst websites and we assure you nothing untoward is going on! It helps us keep track of the number of visitors to BIGPriceDrops.com and spot popular deals and trends. You can read more about Google Analytics and the what/how/why at their website, here. We anonymise your IP address before sending it to Google Analytics.
• We use a service called MailChimp to manage our email newsletter subscriptions. We share your email address and, if you provided it to us, your full name with MailChimp. This allows us to send you personalised emails. We also use MailChimp to let us know how people interact with our emails – e.g. if/when they’re opened and what links are clicked. We use this information to try and improve our emails so they’re as useful as possible.

For full information about how any third party processes and handles information please refer to their respective privacy policy and terms.

Why is the data collected?

We ask for your email address so that we can get in touch with you and you get access to the forum. As outlined above, your IP address is stored to help prevent the abuse of BIGPriceDrops.com. Any other information is used to help improve BIGPriceDrops.com and tailor our content to our visitors.

Third-party websites

We do not sell anything ourselves at BIGPriceDrops.com – we are a community that links to deals and offers at various retailers (e.g. Amazon, Tesco or AliExpress etc.). As these are third party websites not under our control we encourage you to check their privacy policy before providing any personal data. You can tell when you have left BIGPriceDrops.com as the URL will no longer be www.BIGPriceDrops.com

Sharing deals & commenting

If you share a deal or comment on our website then you are free – within reason – to say or do what you like. The best policy is to only say what you would have printed on a billboard in the center of your town. However, to be on the cautious side we would recommend that you avoid sharing any personal information. If you see something on our site that you’re not happy about, drop us a line and we’ll look into it for you.

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We therefore recommend that you review this page periodically for any changes. Any such changes are effective as soon as they are published to this page.
