This Privacy Policy uses the terms “our” “us” and “we” to refer to Infinity Commerce Limited and Discountshub and “you” or “user(s)” to refer to individuals described by the information that Discountshub collects and uses, such as consumers and merchants

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the practices of companies we don’t own or control, or people that we don’t manage. For example, it does not apply to the use of purchaser shipping information by a merchant. Any capitalized terms we use in this Privacy Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the terms of use which govern your use of the Services.

By using or accessing the Services, you acknowledge that we will collect, use, and share your information as described in this Privacy Policy. You have choices about whether to provide us with information and how we use that information. You may choose not to provide us with information, but your choice(s) may prevent you from using the Services or limit your use of certain features. For example, if you do not provide us with a payment method, you may not be able to make purchases or if you do not allow us to see your device location we will not be able to recommend items for pickup at a location near you.

We’re constantly trying to improve our Services, so we may need to update this Privacy Policy.

We will alert you to a change by placing a notice on the Services or by sending an email. Our use of the information we collect is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is used.

We or our service providers or business partners may collect and use various pieces of information in an automated way to support analytics and advertising operations.

Cookies and Related Technologies –
We and others may use cookies, which are text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded on your device, or related technologies, such as web beacons, local shared objects and tracking pixels to store or collect information (“Cookies”). Cookies can help us and others learn about your online activity including on other sites or services. For example, web beacons allow ad networks to provide aggregated auditing, research and reporting for us and for advertisers. Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites.

If you have previously provided personal information to a third-party operating a plug-in on the Services, then that third-party may recognize you on the Services. Your use of social network plug-ins is subject to the privacy policy of the company that operates the plug-in, which may be different from ours, so please read these policies carefully to understand their policies and your options.
