How we collect, use, and protect your information.
Cheddar's Deals LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website https://www.cheddarsdeals.com (the "Site") and the Cheddar's Deals mobile application (the "App") (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit or interact with our Services.
By accessing or using our Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use our Services.
This Privacy Policy applies to:
This policy does not apply to third-party websites, retailers, or services linked from our Services. Each third party operates under its own privacy policy, and we are not responsible for their practices.
We may collect personal information you voluntarily provide, including:
When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:
This is the standard access-log information recorded by our web host's servers.
When you use the App, we collect or process:
Stored only on your device: your list of favorites, your votes, your layout, browser choice, and other display settings.
We do not use advertising identifiers or third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
We do not collect:
We may receive information from third-party services we use (e.g., affiliate networks, social media platforms) about the performance of our content, links, and campaigns.
When you open a short link on chdrs.co or cheddarsdeals.com, we count the click: a running total and the time of the most recent click for that link. We don't store your IP address, device details, or any other personal information with the count. Like any web page, the visit itself also appears in our web host's standard access logs (see b above).
We use information collected through our Services to:
The Site does not use advertising pixels, web beacons, analytics tools, or cross-site tracking cookies.
The Site itself stores only one value in your browser's local storage (cd_app_popup_seen), so the app promotion appears only once. It contains no personal information.
Some features are provided by third parties, which may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies:
You can clear local storage and block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Doing so won't affect browsing deals on the Site.
The App does not use traditional web cookies. Local data in the App is stored using your operating system's standard application storage.
We don't track you across other websites, so browser "Do Not Track" signals don't change how the Site works. We don't allow third parties to collect personal information about your activity across different websites through our Site; affiliate sites may set their own cookies only after you click through to them.
Cheddar's Deals participates in affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:
What this means:
To receive deal alerts in the App, you must opt in to push notifications. You can turn alerts on or off in the App's Alerts tab, turn off specific categories (Price Errors, Run Deals, Deals, Freebies) or specific stores, set Quiet Hours, or disable notifications in your device settings. Push tokens are stored with your random App ID and are not linked to your name, email, or other personal identifiers.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may disclose information in the following limited circumstances:
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Specifically:
Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or under the age required by your jurisdiction, where higher).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without verified parental consent, we will promptly delete it.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us via our contact form.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:
To remove the data stored for your device, delete your saved searches in the App's Alerts tab and uninstall the App; your push token is then deleted automatically. You can also ask us to delete it via our contact form.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our contact form.
We will respond within the time required by applicable law. We may decline requests where legally permitted.
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, UK, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. The legal bases for our processing are: your consent, the performance of a contract, our legitimate interests, and compliance with legal obligations.
You can manage push notifications from within the App at any time:
Disabling notifications will not affect your ability to use the rest of the App.
Data sent between the App or Site and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, alteration, and destruction.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
We are based in the United States. By using our Services, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate.
These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Cheddar's Deals LLC, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:
Cheddar's Deals shares third-party deals and offers as a convenience to our users. We do not control, endorse, or guarantee:
Any transaction you enter into through a third-party link is solely between you and the third-party retailer. We are not a party to that transaction and assume no responsibility for it.
If you download the App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, your use is also subject to the applicable platform's terms of service. Apple Inc. and Google LLC are not parties to this Privacy Policy and have no obligations regarding the App.
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also notify you within the App or by other means where appropriate.
Continued use of our Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using our Services.
If you have questions, concerns, or requests related to this Privacy Policy or your personal information, please reach out via our contact form.
