Privacy Policy

At SwapYourDeals.com (“SwapYourDeals” or “we” or “us” or “our”), we appreciate your use of and contributions to our Web site and features (known as the “services”). SwapYourDeals respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This is our privacy policy and we will comply with it, as well as applicable Australian privacy law, when we gather and use information from users of our services. We encourage you to read this privacy policy to understand what we do with the information we collect from you.

Advertising-Supported Business Model
SwapYourDeals and our extensive set of features are generally funded through advertising dollars. This advertising revenue helps keep SwapYourDeals free of charge for our user community. It also allows us to explore and build new features. We strive to make advertisements relevant and useful to you. Therefore, we may serve advertisements to you based on the information we collect from you or in relation to your interaction on our site. We pledge to be transparent about the information we monitor and collect from you. We keep information private between you and SwapYourDeals, except as explained below.

We may combine this information with other information we collect from your activity on our Web site or from other companies.
• Cookies. Cookies are bits of electronic information that can be transferred to a computer to uniquely identify that computer’s browser. When you visit SwapYourDeals and use our services, we may place one or more cookies on your computer. The use of cookies helps us improve the quality of our services to you, by identifying information, which is most interesting to you, tracking trends, or storing information you may want to retrieve on a regular basis, such as your favorite topics. At any time, you may adjust settings on your browser to refuse cookies. However, if you choose to disable cookies, many of the free features and services on SwapYourDeals may not operate properly.

Usage and Disclosure
In general, SwapYourDeals uses the information collected from you to communicate with you and operate our features and services. SwapYourDeals also uses this information to present you with advertising that we believe will be of interest or useful to you.
Your privacy is important and we are committed to protecting information that identifies you personally, where you have chosen to keep it private.

Of course, if you choose to respond to an advertised offer with your name and contact information, you will no longer be anonymous to the advertiser.
