This Privacy Policy explains how Dealsvanta ("we", "us", "our") collects and processes personal information when you visit our platform, create an account, submit deals, or otherwise use our services. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection law.
In this policy, "Services" means all features provided through Dealsvanta. "Platform" means our website and related products. "Personal data" means any information that can identify you directly or indirectly, such as your name, email address, IP address, or user-generated content linked to your account.
For privacy questions or rights requests, please use our Contact page. Include your account email address so we can verify your request and respond promptly.
Depending on your activity, we may process: account data (username, email address, password hash); profile information you voluntarily provide; community activity including deals posted, comments, and votes; support messages you send us; and technical data such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and interaction logs.
Certain personal data is required to deliver core services. Account creation, authentication, and moderation all depend on us holding your email address and activity history. Without these, some features may be unavailable or restricted.
We process personal data to operate your account, provide community features, personalise deal recommendations, prevent fraud and abuse, improve platform performance, and send important service communications. We do not use your data for advertising purposes without your consent.
We retain personal data only as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this policy — including service delivery, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and policy enforcement. The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the context in which it was collected.
We use automated systems to rank deals, personalise your feed, and detect suspicious activity. These processes are designed to improve relevance and platform safety. No automated decision will produce a legal or similarly significant effect on you without human review.
If personal data is transferred to countries outside your jurisdiction, we apply appropriate safeguards — such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures — to ensure your data receives the same level of protection as required by applicable law.
Subject to applicable data protection law, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; object to or restrict certain processing; and request portability of your data in a machine-readable format.
To exercise any of your rights, send a request via our Contact page. Please include your registered email address and a description of your request so we can verify your identity and respond within the legally required timeframe.
