This Privacy Policy explains how ShopLifter ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit shoplifter.deals (the "Platform"). By using ShopLifter, you agree to this Policy and our Terms.
1. Information We Collect
You give us:
- Account info: email, display name, password (hashed), and optional profile details (sizes, favorite stores, mood preferences).
- Messages you send via our Contact form or to hello@shoplifter.deals.
- Wishlist and saved items you create.
- Conversations with the Style Concierge AI feature.
Collected automatically:
- Device and browser info (user agent, screen size), IP address, and approximate location (country/region).
- Usage data: pages viewed, items clicked, sales engaged with — used to improve curation.
- Cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies" below).
From third parties:
- Affiliate networks (e.g., Skimlinks) may share aggregated click and conversion data.
- If you sign in via Google, we receive your email and name from Google.
2. How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and personalize the Platform.
- To curate sales feeds based on your stated mood and saved preferences.
- To send transactional emails (account confirmations, price alerts you opted into).
- To respond to your messages.
- To detect, prevent, and address fraud or abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Affiliate Links & Tracking
ShopLifter participates in affiliate programs including Skimlinks. When you click a product link, a small tracking parameter is added so the partner network can attribute the click. If you make a purchase on the retailer's site, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not receive your name, address, payment details, or order contents from the retailer — only aggregated conversion data.
4. Cookies & Similar Technologies
- Essential cookies: sign-in sessions and security.
- Functional cookies: remembering preferences (theme, mood, dismissed banners).
- Affiliate tracking: Skimlinks and similar may set cookies on outbound clicks. You can manage these via your browser settings.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited information only with:
- Service providers (hosting, database, email delivery, analytics) under confidentiality obligations.
- Affiliate networks for click attribution (no personal identifiers shared).
- Authorities when legally required.
- A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any right, email hello@shoplifter.deals. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising.
7. Children's Privacy
ShopLifter is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
We use industry-standard security practices including encrypted storage (Postgres with row-level security), TLS in transit, and hashed passwords. No method of transmission is 100% secure; please use a strong, unique password.
9. Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion at any time. Aggregated, de-identified data may be retained indefinitely.
10. International Users
ShopLifter is operated from the United States. By using the Platform, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the U.S.
