This Privacy Policy explains how [LEGAL BUSINESS NAME] ("My Trending Offer," "we," "us," or "our"), located at [REGISTERED ADDRESS], collects, uses, discloses, sells and shares personal information when you use mytrendingoffer.com (the "Site"), click on a deal, submit a form, enter a sweepstakes, or communicate with us.
My Trending Offer is an offer discovery, advertising and lead-generation platform serving visitors in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Many offers link to third-party merchants through affiliate links. When you submit a form on the Site, we share your information with, and may sell it to, the marketing partners identified on that form so they can contact you with the offers you requested. Please read this policy carefully.
1. Notice at collection
At or before the point of collection, we tell you the categories of personal information we collect and why. In summary:
| Category | Examples | Sold or shared? | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, email, phone number, ZIP code, IP address, device and cookie IDs | Yes | [PERIOD] |
| Characteristics | Age or date of birth, gender (dating offers) | Yes | [PERIOD] |
| Commercial / financial information | Offer-specific answers such as insurance status, homeownership, estimated debt, income range or credit range | Yes | [PERIOD] |
| Internet activity | Pages viewed, referring URL, ad click IDs (e.g. fbclid), UTM parameters, browser and device type | Shared for advertising | [PERIOD] |

| Consent records | Consent language shown, timestamp, IP address and consent certificate (e.g. TrustedForm or Jornaya) | Disclosed to partners as proof of consent | [PERIOD, e.g. 5 years] |
We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, bank account credentials, precise geolocation or medical records through our forms. Some offer categories (for example, health insurance or Medicare) may involve information that some states treat as sensitive personal information. We use it only to provide the service you requested.
2. Sources of information
- Directly from you when you complete a form, enter a sweepstakes, create a dating profile or contact us.
- Automatically through cookies, pixels and similar technologies when you use the Site (see our Cookie Policy).
- From affiliate networks and merchants, for example, confirmation that a purchase was made after you clicked a deal (used to calculate commissions).
- From advertising platforms such as [e.g. Meta, Google], for example, the campaign or ad that brought you to the Site.
- From service providers that help us validate data, for example phone or email verification.
3. How we use information
- To show you deals and offers available in your country, and to remember your country choice.
- To track clicks on deals and promo codes so affiliate partners can attribute purchases and pay commissions.
- To deliver your request to the partner(s) named on the form and to match you with relevant offers.
- To contact you by phone, text message or email about your request, where you have consented.
- To administer sweepstakes, including selecting and notifying winners.
- To verify information, detect duplicate or fraudulent submissions and protect the Site.
- To measure and improve our advertising, including reporting conversions to advertising platforms.
- To send marketing emails if you opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- To comply with legal obligations, including keeping records of consent.
4. Sale and sharing of personal information
Under California and other state privacy laws, giving your information to a partner in exchange for payment is a "sale," and disclosing information for cross-context behavioral advertising is "sharing." In the past 12 months we have sold or shared the categories marked "Yes" in Section 1 with:
- Marketing partners and lead buyers, including insurance agencies and carriers, home improvement and solar companies, lenders and financial service providers, schools, and dating services, as named on the form you submit.
- Advertising partners such as [e.g. Meta Platforms], for ad measurement and targeting, unless you have opted out.
You have the right to opt out. Visit Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. We also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid opt-out request.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
5. Other disclosures
- Service providers that process data on our behalf, such as hosting, email and SMS delivery, analytics, data validation and customer support.
- Legal and safety: to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, or protect rights and safety.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
6. Calls, text messages and email
If you provide your phone number and consent on a form, the partner(s) named on that form and My Trending Offer may call or text you about your request, including using automated technology or prerecorded messages. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies.
- Reply STOP to any text to opt out, or HELP for help.
- To stop calls, tell the caller or contact us. We keep an internal Do Not Call list.
- Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, as required by the CAN-SPAM Act.
Opting out with My Trending Offer does not automatically opt you out with partners your information was already sent to. Please contact those partners directly as well.
SMS opt-in consent and phone numbers collected for text messaging are not shared with third parties for their own marketing, except with the partner(s) you specifically authorized on the form. [CONFIRM WITH COUNSEL AND SMS PROVIDER REQUIREMENTS]
7. Sweepstakes
If you enter a sweepstakes, we use your information to administer it, including verifying eligibility and notifying winners. As permitted by the Official Rules, a winner's name and state may be published or provided on request. Winners may be required to complete an affidavit of eligibility and IRS Form W-9. Marketing emails from My Trending Offer and its marketing partners are sent only if you opt in.
8. Cookies, pixels and advertising
We and our partners use cookies, pixels (such as the Meta Pixel), server-side conversion tools (such as the Meta Conversions API) and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand usage and measure advertising. You can change your choices at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer. The Site does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals, but we honor Global Privacy Control as described above.
9. Data retention
We keep personal information as long as necessary for the purposes in this policy, including to prove consent and meet legal obligations, and then delete or de-identify it. Retention periods for each category are listed in Section 1.
