1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Daily Grand Contest ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit dailygrandcontest.com (the "Site") or interact with our services. Daily Grand Contest is the data controller for purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR. For any privacy-related question, contact us at [email protected].
2. Data we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Account data — email address and a hashed password if you create an optional account for deal alerts.
- Submissions — coupons or stores you submit through our form, plus any voluntary contact info.
- Communications — messages you send to support, including any details you choose to include.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Device & usage — IP address, browser, OS, referring page, pages visited, and clicked coupons.
- Cookies — see our Cookie Policy for the full list.
3. How we use your data
- Operate and maintain the Site and its features (e.g. saving your filter preferences).
- Measure aggregate performance — which coupons are popular, which pages load slowly.
- Send transactional emails (account verification, password resets) and, with consent, deal alerts.
- Detect fraud, abuse, and bot traffic.
- Comply with legal obligations.
4. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
- Contract — to deliver services you've signed up for (e.g. an account).
- Legitimate interests — to keep the Site secure, prevent fraud, and improve features.
- Consent — for non-essential cookies and marketing emails. You can withdraw consent any time.
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests.
5. Sharing & partners
We do not sell personal data. We share limited data only with:
- Hosting & infrastructure providers that run our servers and CDN.
- Analytics providers configured to anonymise IP addresses where possible.
- Affiliate networks when you click an outbound link — they may set their own cookies and receive a referral identifier. This is how we earn commissions; it never costs you extra.
- Authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect rights and safety.
6. Cookies & tracking
We use a small number of cookies for essential functions, preferences, and aggregate analytics. Full details — including how to disable them — are in our Cookie Policy.
7. Data retention
- Account data: retained while your account is active and for 12 months after deletion request.
- Server logs: 30 days.
- Analytics events: 14 months in aggregate, anonymised form.
- Submitted coupons: indefinitely (they are public content) but personal contact info is removed on request.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal data, and to object to processing. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
9. Security
We use TLS in transit, encrypted storage at rest, principle-of-least-privilege access, and routine reviews. No system is perfectly secure — please use a strong, unique password.
10. Children
The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted at the top of this page with a new "Last updated" date.
