3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us recognize your browser and remember certain information. We use the following categories of cookies:

Category	Purpose	Can Be Disabled?
Essential Cookies	Required for basic Site functionality (navigation, security).	No
Performance/Analytics Cookies	Help us understand how visitors interact with the Site.	Yes
Functional Cookies	Remember your preferences (e.g., language, region).	Yes

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Site functionality. Where required by law (e.g., under GDPR/ePrivacy rules), we display a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are set.

4. Analytics Services

We use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use our Site. These tools collect information such as pages visited, time on page, device type, and general geographic location (derived from IP address). This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you by name.

Google Analytics data may be processed in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Affiliate Marketing Disclosure & Tracking

BigSaveTrove participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on purchases made through links on our Site, at no additional cost to you. This includes, but is not limited to, programs such as the Amazon Associates Program and other retailer affiliate networks.

• When you click an affiliate link, a cookie or tracking parameter may be placed on your device by the third-party retailer or affiliate network to attribute the sale to BigSaveTrove.
• These cookies typically expire after a set period (commonly 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the program) and do not collect personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for commission tracking.
• We do not control the privacy practices of third-party retailers or affiliate networks. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
• Our editorial content and product recommendations are independent; affiliate relationships do not influence our honest opinions, though they may influence which products we choose to feature.

6. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following legal bases pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Consent: for non-essential cookies, newsletter sign-ups, and marketing communications.
• Legitimate interests: for Site analytics, security, and improving user experience.
• Contractual necessity: to respond to inquiries or provide requested services.
• Legal obligation: where required to comply with applicable law.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

If GDPR applies to you, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Request erasure of your personal data ("right to be forgotten");
• Restrict or object to our processing of your data;
• Request data portability;
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 16.

8. Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), grants you the following rights:

• Right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose;
• Right to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information;
• Right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (including cross-context behavioral advertising and affiliate/analytics tracking, where applicable);
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

BigSaveTrove does not sell personal information in exchange for monetary payment. However, some cookies and tracking technologies used for analytics and affiliate attribution may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of data under CCPA/CPRA's broad definition. You may opt out via your browser's cookie settings or the cookie consent tool on our Site.

9. How We Share Information

We may share your information with:

• Service providers: hosting providers, email marketing platforms, and analytics providers who process data on our behalf.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary compensation.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Analytics and cookie data are generally retained according to the retention settings of the respective third-party tool (e.g., Google Analytics default retention periods).

11. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in applicable jurisdictions), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information.

13. Third-Party Links

Our Site contains links to third-party websites, including affiliate partners and retailers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

14. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect data transferred internationally.
