Privacy Policy

This policy is effective as of March 1, 2023.

Discoonter.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit our website Discoonter.com. By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect :

As a user of our Service, you may need to provide us with certain information, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which refers to information that can be used to identify you as an individual. This information may be collected when you participate in contests or sweepstakes, register for our site, leave a review, or use other public areas of our Service. We may collect PII from you, such as your name, email address, username, and password, as well as other information that can be used to contact you online so that we can provide you with the products and services you request. We may obtain this information from you when you register for an account on our Site or engage in other activities, transactions, or online forms on our Site.

If you access our Service from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, as well as information about your device’s precise location over time. This allows us to provide you with more relevant deals and offers, such as real-time deals for a store you are currently visiting.

When you visit our Site, we may also collect non-personally identifiable information that does not identify you by name, such as your IP address, geo-location, domain name, browser configuration, device type, operating system information, Internet service provider, time of your visit, and any referring website.

If you choose to log in via a third-party service such as Facebook or Google, we will collect the information requested by the third-party service, such as your name, email address, gender, city, and state. You can adjust your privacy settings with these third-party services to ensure that you are only sharing information that you want to share.

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different types of Personal Data about you, which we have grouped into two categories: Contact Data (such as your email address, name, address, and zip code) and Marketing and Communications Data (such as your preferences for receiving marketing and communication from us and our partners).

We collect several types of data when you access and use our Service. This includes your Profile Data, such as your username and password, as well as any feedback or survey responses you provide. We also collect Technical Data, such as your device IDs, login data, and browser type and version, in addition to other device information and cookie data. Usage Data is also collected, including information about how you use our Website, products, and services.

When you access the Service, we may use cookies, which are small text files that contain a string of alphanumeric characters. We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies, with session cookies disappearing after you close your browser and persistent cookies remaining after you close your browser and may be used on subsequent visits to the Service. We use cookies to maintain active user sessions on Discoonter, but you can remove persistent cookies by reviewing your web browser’s “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings.

We also use Google Analytics Cookies on our website, which collect data and send it to Google’s servers in the United States of America in accordance with their privacy practices. If you’d like to learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please click here. If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can opt out by clicking here. However, if you agree to our use of cookies, please continue to use our site.

We collect certain information from your browser when you visit our Site, including your IP address, browser type and language, access times, and the content of any cookies that your browser accepted from us in the past, as well as the referring website address.

Do Not Track Signals: Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” option that informs websites or internet services you visit that you do not want your activities tracked by cookies or other persistent identifiers across time and across third-party websites or online services. However, because we require cookies to maintain active user sessions on the Discoonter site, we do not act on Do Not Track requests.

Third-Party Web Beacons: To offer the best experience and products, we may integrate third-party content, such as advertising, on the Service that uses “clear gifs,” “web beacons,” or similar techniques. These methods may allow the third-party content provider to read and write cookies to your browser or implement similar tracking mechanisms while you view that third-party content displayed on or through the Service.

Other System Information Automatically Collected: When you access the Service or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record certain system information using tracking technology. This “automatically collected” information may include your IP address, a unique device or user ID, software version, system type, the content and pages you access on the Service, and the dates and times of your visits.

Use of Information :

At Discoonter, our goal is to provide you with an exceptional user experience, and to achieve that, we use the information you provide us or that we collect to improve and personalize the features and services we offer.

We value your trust and respect your privacy, which is why we only use your email address and contact information for administrative purposes, such as notifying you of important Service updates and for customer service. Additionally, we give you the option to unsubscribe or opt-out from receiving promotional messages related to the Service or our partners.

To better understand user trends and preferences, we use all the information we collect from you to improve the way the Service operates and looks, and to develop new features and functionalities. This includes Automatically Collected information and Cookies information, which we may use alone or in combination with other information to provide you with a personalized experience, customized third-party advertisements and content, and relevant offers and information.

We work with trusted third-party vendors who help us deliver our products and services, and they may use your data to enhance your experience on our Site. However, we do not authorize these third parties to use your Personal Information in any other way. We have provided a list of these vendors with links to more information about their use of your data, so you can rest assured that your privacy and security are our top priority.

Disclosure of Information :

At Discoonter, we understand the importance of protecting your personally identifiable information and ensuring its privacy. That’s why we have strict policies in place that govern the disclosure, use, and protection of your personal data.

We will never share your personally identifiable information with other organizations for their marketing or promotional purposes without your prior consent. We value your privacy and will always respect your wishes when it comes to how your personal data is used.

However, in order to provide and improve our Service, we may need to disclose your information to affiliated companies or third-party vendors who help us with tasks such as website hosting, order fulfillment, and data analysis. These disclosures are made under terms that are comparable to this Privacy Policy, and recipients are limited to using the information only for the purposes for which it was provided.

We take the protection of your information seriously and use commercially reasonable physical, technical, and administrative controls to ensure its security. However, it’s important to note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

In certain situations, we may be required by law to disclose your information or may need to do so to protect our users, our Service, or ourselves from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activities. We may also need to disclose information to government enforcement agencies, to investigate and defend ourselves against third-party claims, or to protect our rights, property, or personal safety.

We are committed to safeguarding your personal data and will always act in good faith to protect your privacy. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re always happy to help.

Your Rights to Access Data (EEA)  :

Individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) have the following rights regarding their personal data:

• You have the right to be informed about the Personal Data that we hold regarding you and how it is being used.
• You have the right to access and receive a copy of your Personal Data held by us, subject to certain conditions and limitations.
• You have the right to request that we correct any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Data we hold about you, and we will make reasonable efforts to comply with such requests, subject to certain restrictions. If you have a user account with us, you can also directly edit and update your information in your account settings. However, we may need to verify the accuracy of any new data you provide to us before making changes to your Personal Data.
• The right to erasure, also known as the “right to be forgotten,” allows you to request the deletion or removal of your Personal Data in situations where there is no legitimate reason for us to continue processing it. Please note that we may not always be able to fulfill your request for erasure and will inform you of the reasons if we cannot do so.
• Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) have the right to request that we restrict the processing of their personal data in certain situations. This means that we will temporarily stop processing the data, either because the data is inaccurate, or because the data has been unlawfully processed, or because the data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or because the individual has objected to our use of their data. We will only continue to process the data if we have a legitimate reason to do so or if we need the data to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. If you believe that we are processing your personal data in a way that is not allowed under the GDPR, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data.
• Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we transfer your Personal Data to you or to a third party in a commonly used machine-readable format. However, please note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. We will assess your request and provide you with the information in a format that is accessible and suitable for transfer.
• As an EEA data subject, you have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data in specific circumstances. Firstly, you have the right to object at any time to your Personal Data being processed for direct marketing purposes, including profiling. Additionally, you have the right to object to our continued processing of your Personal Data in certain other situations, such as when our processing of your data is based on our legitimate interests. It’s important to note that we may still process your data if we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your rights and freedoms, but we will always consider your objection and provide a transparent explanation for our decision.
• As a data subject, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time where we rely on your consent to process your Personal Data. However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will notify you at the time of withdrawal whether this is the case.
• You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects on you, including profiling. However, there are some exceptions to this right. We may use your personal data to make a decision based on automated processing if you have explicitly consented to it, if it is allowed by law, or if it is necessary for us to enter into a contract with you. We will make sure to inform you if we use any automated processing in our decision-making processes and provide you with the opportunity to challenge the decision.
• If you wish to exercise your rights as a data subject in the EEA, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your Personal Data, as well as the right to object to processing and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making, you may contact Discoonter using our online contact form to request a Data Subject Access Request Form. We will respond to your request in a timely and efficient manner, and will work to ensure that you are able to exercise your rights as easily and smoothly as possible.
• We do not typically charge a fee to access your Personal Data or exercise your other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. In such cases, we may also refuse to comply with your request. Rest assured that we will provide you with a clear explanation for any fee or refusal to comply.
• Upon receiving your Access Request, we may require additional information from you to verify your identity and ensure that we are not disclosing any Personal Data to unauthorized persons. This is a security measure put in place to protect your information. We may also contact you to request additional details related to your request to expedite our response time. Please note that we may not be able to fulfill your request until we receive the necessary information from you.
• At Discoonter, we make every effort to promptly respond to all legitimate requests within one month. However, in some cases, such as when your request is particularly complex or multiple requests are made, it may take longer to process your request. If this is the case, we will notify you of the delay and keep you informed about the progress of your request. We aim to provide transparent and timely communication throughout the process of responding to your request.

To Complain :

If you have any concerns or complaints regarding the treatment of your Personal Data or any questions about our data practices, please do not hesitate to contact us as described in Section 12. We are committed to addressing and resolving any queries or concerns you may have related to the handling of your personal information.   

If you are a data subject based in the European Economic Area, you also have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, specifically in the EU or EEA country where you reside, work, or where the alleged breach of data protection laws took place. This right is provided under the General Data Protection Regulation.
