Privacy

This page explains what uglyholidaydeals.com stores about visitors and what it does not. Effective date: November 11, 2026.

What we do not collect

The site has no passwords, no email collection, no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking pixels. The site sets no cookies of its own. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Members and points

Joining is optional. If you join, the site makes a private member link for you and stores a scrambled one-way copy of its key, the name you chose, the salted hash described below, and a list of the points and badges you earned and the extras you used them on. Your browser keeps the key so you stay signed in on that device. We cannot recover a lost link.

Delete your data

The My points page has a Delete my membership button. It erases your member record, points, and badges at once. Posts you made stay public under the name you typed, with no tie to you. To have a post removed too, email us.

What we store when you post

When someone posts a deal or a comment, the site stores the name they typed, the text, the link, the prices, and the time. These become public once a person at the site approves them. Posts that are rejected are kept in the review log.

The salted hash

The visitor's IP address is not stored. A scrambled one-way value made from the IP address and a secret, a salted hash, is stored with each post, comment, and like. We cannot turn it back into an IP address, but it can tell one visitor's posts from another's, so we treat it as personal data. It is used only to limit spam at 5 deals, 10 comments, and 60 likes per hour, and to count one like per visitor per deal.

Local storage in your browser

The visitor's own browser stores the name last used on a post, which deals they liked, the chosen holiday theme, the sound on/off setting, and the member key for people who join. Each one is saved only when the visitor does that thing, and only to make the site work the way they asked. This local storage is never sent to us as a profile. Clearing site data removes these items.

Cloudflare and product photos

Cloudflare hosts the site and the database and handles every request. Cloudflare processes IP addresses and keeps its own short-lived logs. Fonts are served from our own site, not from Google. Product photos load from the store's own image server, for example eBay, so the browser contacts that store when a photo shows. Cloudflare and the stores are in the United States, so data about visitors from other countries is handled there. Cloudflare, Inc. is our only service provider; it is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, with its UK and Swiss extensions, and its data processing terms include the standard contractual clauses.

AI assistants

The site offers a public feed of its deals for AI shopping assistants. The feed holds deal data only: no visitor names, no member data.

Store links and cookies

Check price links go straight to the store, for example eBay, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Kohl's, Newegg, or Costco. The link can carry an affiliate tag. The store, not us, sets any cookies after the click, and its privacy policy applies there.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask what we hold about you, ask for a copy you can take elsewhere, ask us to correct or erase it, ask us to limit how we use it, and object to how we use it. No decision about you is made by a computer alone. We answer within 30 days and never treat you differently for asking.

If you are in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland: the controller is Brick30 Technologies, LLC. We store post and member data to run the features you chose to use (performance of a contract) and the salted hash to stop spam and abuse (legitimate interest). You can complain to your data protection authority.

If you are in California or another US state with a privacy law: the site is smaller than the size those laws apply to, and we follow their main rules anyway. We do not sell or share personal information, we do not use sensitive personal information, and there is nothing to opt out of. You can ask us to know, correct, or delete, yourself or through an authorized agent.

How long we keep data

Member records stay until you delete them. Posts, comments, likes, and their salted hashes stay while the post is on the site and in the review log after that. Cloudflare's own request logs are short-lived.

Children

The site is not for children under 16, and we do not knowingly store their data.

Removal and contact

To get your own post removed, email [email protected] with the deal title. Use the same address for privacy requests, corrections, copyright complaints, or other removal requests.
