We gather information that either identifies an individual or, with reasonable effort, allows for identification, and may be of a sensitive nature ("Personal Information") when you:

  • Register with or utilize our Website or any of our Products.
  • Utilize our free tools for trying our Products or engaging with a member of our sales team.

To create an Discount Codes account or access our services, we may request specific Personal Information voluntarily provided by you. This may include your name, personal and work email, work or home address, employer details, payment information, and phone number. We collect this information to establish and authenticate your account, granting you access to our Products and services.

Additionally, Personal Information is collected when you initiate direct communications through our Website's enquiry form, by telephone, or in writing. Such communications, along with accompanying Personal Information, may be retained to process inquiries, respond to requests, and enhance our services.

While utilizing our products and services, Discount Codes automatically gathers information about your browser, internet, and device to enhance our offerings. The collected data, which often cannot directly identify you, includes:

  • Device details such as browser type, settings, and operating system.
  • Usage patterns of our service, including your navigation history.
  • Device language, the timestamp of your requests, and referral pages.
  • Your IP address (though not directly identifiable, it may be indirectly associated).

This information plays a crucial role in refining our products and services for an improved user experience.

External Data Collection

In order for Discount Codes to furnish business products and services, including corporate credit reports, the collection and aggregation of both commercial and personal data from various sources are essential. This encompasses information from publicly available sources like Companies House and external organizations such as the Registry Trust. Additionally, Discount Codes may gather personal data from external sources for legal compliance, including regulatory obligations.

Discount Codes collects data from diverse external sources, including but not limited to:

  • Companies House, the Registry Trust (Ministry of Justice), and the TSO Gazette (Company Insolvency Information), as well as other suppliers. Discount Codes obtains personal data from these suppliers, including details about company directors, secretaries, shareholders, and individuals with significant control.
  • Personal information, including credit details, sourced from private third-party entities such as credit reference agencies, business directories, company list brokers, fraud prevention agencies, government, and law enforcement agencies.
  • Website usage data from analytics providers like Google Analytics.
  • Information publicly available on websites.

Personal Data Use

We employ and uphold appropriate technical and organizational security measures, policies, and procedures designed to mitigate the risk of accidental destruction, loss, unauthorized disclosure, or access to your information, commensurate with the nature of the data. It's important to note that, despite our efforts to secure the information and minimize the risk of unauthorized disclosure, we cannot guarantee immunity against exposure due to unauthorized server penetration. Nevertheless, we exert commercially reasonable efforts to align information collection and security with this Privacy Policy and all applicable laws and regulations. Given that the security of your information also depends on the security of your communication device and the measures you employ to safeguard your user IDs and passwords, kindly take appropriate precautions.

We will retain your Personal Information for a duration that is reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. In certain instances, we may extend the storage duration, particularly where mandated by legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting requirements. Additionally, we may retain your Personal Information for prolonged periods to maintain an accurate record of your interactions with us in the event of complaints, challenges, or if we reasonably anticipate potential litigation related to your Personal Information or transactions.
