Privacy policy

The short version

• You don't need an account to use SundaySaver.
• We only ask for your email if you choose to give it with a store request, and we delete it once we've answered.
• Your saved stores and shopping list stay in your own browser. They are never sent to us.
• We use one cookie, to remember the state you picked.
• We count visits with privacy-friendly analytics that run on our own server and use no cookies.
• There are no ads and no tracking scripts from other companies.
• We don't sell or share information about you.

SundaySaver is run by eCatcher, Inc., the company behind DealCatcher.com.

What we collect, and why

The state you shop in

When you pick a state, a cookie called ss_state remembers it for a year so you see the right stores next time. If you haven't picked one, we guess your state from your internet connection to choose which stores to show. That guess is made by our hosting provider on each visit and isn't stored.

Saved stores and your shopping list

Stores you heart and items on your list are kept in your browser's storage on your device. When you open My list, your browser asks us for the names and logos of your saved stores by their store numbers. We don't record which stores you saved.

Clicks to a store's ad

When you tap through to a store's ad, we add one to a daily count for that store, so we know which ads people use. The count holds nothing about who clicked.

Store requests

When you ask us to add a store, we keep what you type: the store's name, your state, and the city, website, note and email if you give them. We use requests only to decide which stores to add. An email, if you give one, is used only to tell you what we decided about that request, and we delete it once the request is handled. To stop the form being flooded with spam, we keep a one-way scrambled code made from your connection and the date, which can't be turned back into your IP address, and we delete it after two days.

Visit statistics

To see which pages and stores people use, we run Umami, an open-source analytics tool, on our own server. When a page loads, it records the page address (for a search, that includes what you searched for), the page title, the site that sent you, your screen size and your browser's language. From each visit it also works out your browser, operating system, device type and country. Umami uses no cookies and doesn't store your IP address, and we use the statistics only in totals, never to identify anyone.

Server logs

Like nearly every website, our servers keep short-lived technical logs of requests, which include your IP address, browser type and the page address (for a search, that includes what you searched for). We use them only to keep the site running and secure. They are kept for up to a week and then deleted automatically.

Who else is involved

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes visits on our behalf to serve pages, store our data and protect the site from abuse. Cloudflare's own privacy policy covers how it handles that information.

When you tap a store's ad, you leave SundaySaver for that retailer's website, and the retailer's own privacy policy applies there. We don't control what other sites collect.

Your choices

• To see every store instead of one state, choose "Show every store in the country" in the state picker. To remove the cookie altogether, clear this site's cookies in your browser.
• To remove your saved stores and list, use "Clear list" on My list, or clear this site's data in your browser settings.
• The site works with cookies turned off. It can't remember your choice, so it guesses your state from your connection on each visit.
• Ad and content blockers that block analytics will stop the visit statistics. The site works the same either way.

Site administrators

The people who maintain SundaySaver sign in with an email address and password, and a sign-in cookie keeps them signed in. Shoppers never get this cookie. Passwords are stored only in a scrambled form that can't be turned back into the password. To protect against break-ins, we briefly record the IP address of failed sign-in attempts and delete it within a day.

Children

SundaySaver is meant for adults planning their shopping. It isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If what we collect changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
