Privacy Policy — what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
- We collect basic technical data (IP, browser, pages viewed) and anything you submit directly (email, messages).
- We never sell your personal information.
- You can unsubscribe, control cookies, or request your data be deleted at any time.
What this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains what information Hottop5 (“we”, “us”) collects when you visit hottop5.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
You provide directly
Newsletter sign-ups, coupon/deal submissions, and contact-form messages — typically an email address, plus any name or message you include.
Collected automatically
IP address, browser/device type, pages viewed, referring page, and approximate location (city/country) — via cookies, see our Cookie Policy.
When you click a coupon code or “Get Deal” button, we may record that click (which store, which offer, when) to measure which deals are useful and to attribute the referral to our affiliate partners — this isn’t tied to your identity beyond standard technical data such as IP address.
How we use this information
- Operate and improve the site and its content
- Send newsletter emails to subscribers who opted in — unsubscribe anytime
- Respond to messages sent through contact or submission forms
- Measure which deals, stores and categories are actually useful to readers
- Detect and prevent spam, abuse and fraudulent coupon reports
- Comply with legal obligations
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Affiliate networks and merchants — standard referral/tracking data when you click through to a store, as is standard for any affiliate coupon site
- Service providers — hosting, analytics and email delivery providers, under confidentiality obligations
- Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of Hottop5 or our users
Your choices
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter anytime via the link in any email
- Control cookies through your browser settings — see the Cookie Policy
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, subject to applicable law
Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law.
