Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Introduction

DealsLocal helps people suggest local deals and puts those ideas in front of local businesses. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and share personal information when you visit our website, suggest a deal or contact us.

Information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact information you provide, such as your name and email address.
• Deal suggestions, including the products or services you are interested in, your proposed offer, preferred businesses and neighbourhood or area.
• Messages, questions and other information you choose to share with us.
• Technical information that may be recorded by our website hosting provider, such as your IP address, browser type, device information and pages requested.

Please do not include sensitive personal information or another person’s personal information in your deal suggestions or messages unless it is necessary and you have permission to share it.

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

• Review your deal suggestions and present relevant proposals to local businesses.
• Contact you about your suggestion, a business response or possible offer conditions.
• Respond to questions and provide support.
• Operate, maintain and improve our website and services.
• Prevent misuse, protect our services and meet legal obligations.

Where required by applicable law, we obtain your consent before collecting, using or sharing your personal information.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Our website and the services supporting it may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality and technical purposes. Where non-essential cookies are used, we will provide information and obtain consent where required by law.

You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some website features.

Sharing and third parties

To pitch your suggestion, we share relevant proposal details with local businesses, such as the requested product or service, proposed price and general area. We aim to avoid including identifying details unless they are needed. If sharing your contact information with a business is necessary, we will seek your permission first.

We may also share information with service providers that support website hosting, communications and other operational needs. We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, safety or the security of our services. We do not sell your personal information.

Our website is hosted on GitLab Pages. Hosting and other service providers may process information outside your province or country, where different privacy laws may apply. Local businesses and external websites handle information you provide directly to them under their own privacy policies.

Data security and retention

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we hold to help protect it against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or disclosure. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle your suggestion or inquiry, provide our services, resolve disputes and meet legal obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete it or make it non-identifying.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to your personal information, ask us to correct inaccuracies, request deletion or withdraw consent to certain uses or disclosures. Withdrawing consent may limit our ability to continue handling your deal suggestion.

To make a request or raise a privacy concern, contact us using the email below. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Some requests may be subject to legal exceptions or retention requirements. You may also have the right to complain to the privacy regulator responsible for your jurisdiction.
