Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2026
At Snag Deals, accessible from snagdeals.au (the "Website"), one of our main priorities is the privacy and security of our visitors' personal information. We are committed to transparency and handle all personal data in strict compliance with the **Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)** and the **Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)**.
1. Compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988
Snag Deals operates under the guidelines of the Australian Privacy Act 1988. We collect, hold, use, and disclose personal information only to perform our core functions of providing curated promo codes, dynamic search interfaces, and alert dashboards. We implement robust physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information only when it is reasonably necessary for our activities. This includes:
- Account Information: If you voluntarily register for an account, we collect your name, email address, password hash, and categories of interest to provide a personalized user dashboard and deal alert services.
- Log Files & Usage Data: Like most websites, we collect standard server log data (such as IP addresses, browser types, Internet Service Providers, timestamp, and referring/exit pages) to analyze traffic patterns and maintain system stability. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
3. Cookies and Third-Party Tracking Disclosures
To deliver our services and support our free platform, we use cookies and tracking technologies:
- Session & Authentication Cookies: Used to keep you logged in and preserve your custom display preferences.
- Affiliate Tracking Cookies & Pixels: Snag Deals partners with affiliate networks, primarily **AWIN** and **Commission Factory**. When you click on an external coupon link or merchant discount card on our Website, a tracking cookie or pixel is placed on your browser by the affiliate network. This verifies that you were redirected from Snag Deals, allowing the merchant to credit our platform with the sale and award us a referral commission. These cookies do not store personally identifiable information and are strictly used for transaction verification.
You can manage your preferences or decline tracking cookies at any time via our visible **Cookie Consent Banner** or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings.
4. How to Request Data Deletion
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and request its correction or permanent deletion. If you wish to delete your account or request the complete erasure of your data from our active databases, please email us directly at hello@snagdeals.au.
We process all data deletion requests promptly and will confirm the permanent removal of your account records within **30 business days** of receiving your request.
5. Third-Party Links & Partner Privacy
Our Website contains outbound links to third-party merchant sites. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external businesses. We strongly advise you to consult the individual privacy policies of these merchants or affiliate networks (such as AWIN and Commission Factory) for detailed information on their data handling practices.
6. Consent
By using our Website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy, agree to its terms, and authorize our use of cookies as described above.
