The type of personal information we collect
We currently collect and process the following information:
- If you sign up as a member to UK Treasure Hunters, we will store your e-mail address and chosen username so we can get in touch
- If you register via Facebook, you'll have an option to choose what information you provide us. By default, Facebook sends us what is referred to as your "public profile" information. This can include your email address, full name, profile picture, gender and age range. Whilst signing up you can choose what information is shared with us and opt out if you would prefer
- We also store your IP address. We do this to help prevent abuse of the UK Treasure Hunters community and its guidelines. For example, we may use the IP address to detect retailers who sign up for multiple accounts to try and unscrupulously promote their own services
- For the purpose of creating new features and functionality in the future (e.g. a personalised deal feed) we store information about some purchases made through the website. This may include products purchased, amount spent and other associated information
- If you choose to sign up for our Telegram notifications, your mobile number is stored so that we can send you messages
How we get the personal information and why we have it
Most of the personal information we process is provided to us directly by you for one of the following reasons:
- We ask for your email address so that we can get in touch with you
- As outlined above, your IP address is stored to help prevent the abuse of UK Treasure Hunters
- Any other information is used to help improve our website content and tailor it to our visitors
We do not sell anything ourselves at UK Treasure Hunters – we are a community that links to deals and offers via external retailers (eg. Amazon). For full details of why data is collected by the third-party services we use, please visit their websites and read their Privacy Policies.
