Privacy Policy

Home Catalog (homecatalog.org) is a free review and comparison website operated by Unbroken Ads LLC (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information we collect when you use the site, why, and the choices you have.

The short version

• You can read Home Catalog without creating an account or giving us your name.
• We use only the cookies the site needs to work. We don’t run analytics or advertising tags at the moment.
• When you click a store link, we may earn a commission from the store. Your price doesn’t change, and commissions never change a score.
• If you ask for a coupon by email, we use your address only for that, after you confirm it.
• We don’t sell your personal information for money. You can opt out of ad tracking any time with Cookie settings.

Information you give us

• Messages to us. Your name, email address and message when you contact us.
• Coupon sign-ups. Your email address, the brand you asked about, the page you were on, the date, and a record of the wording you agreed to. Where a brand’s offers are age-restricted, we also record that you confirmed your age.

Coupon emails

Coupon emails are sent by EmailerPros, our own email service (operated by the same company), on behalf of the sister coupon site that has the store: Fun Coupons, Trusted Coupon or Hot Coupons. The sender shows as “[Partner] via Home Catalog”. Emails are delivered through Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES).

• Double opt-in. We first send one message asking you to confirm your address. Nothing else is sent until you do. If you don’t confirm within 30 days, the unconfirmed request is deleted.
• What you get. Codes and deals for the brand you asked about, and similar offers. For some product types (for example CBD), you only ever get offers of that same type.
• Leaving. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can leave just this site’s emails, all of our sites’ emails, or change your preferences.

Information collected automatically

Some information is collected automatically when you visit:

• Server and security logs. Our host and security tools record the IP address, browser, the page asked for and the time, to run the site and protect it from abuse.
• Short-link click counts. Our short links count clicks by day: the link, a general device type, the country (looked up from the IP address, which is not stored) and the kind of site the click came from. We don’t store your IP address with them and don’t use the counts to build a profile of you.

See our Cookie Policy for the tools we use and how to control them.

How we use information

• To run the site and keep it secure.
• To answer your messages and send the coupon emails you asked for.
• To understand which pages and brands are useful, and to improve the site.
• To track clicks to stores so we can confirm commissions with our affiliate partners.
• To meet legal requirements.

We don’t use your reading or clicks to change any brand’s score.

Store links and click counts

Most store buttons are affiliate links. When you click one, you go through a short tracking link on homecatalog.org (a link domain we operate) and then to the store or an affiliate network. Our short links count clicks by day: the link, a general device type, the country (looked up from the IP address, which is not stored) and the kind of site the click came from. We don’t store your IP address with them and don’t use the counts to build a profile of you. A few store links also load the store’s or network’s own tracking image before forwarding you. The store or network may set its own cookies to credit us with the sale. What you do on the store’s website is covered by that store’s privacy policy, not ours.

Who we share information with

• Service providers that help us run the site: hosting and security (Kinsta, Cloudflare, Wordfence), and email delivery (EmailerPros, which uses Amazon Web Services to send).
• Our sister coupon site that supplies the code you asked for. It is run by the same company.
• Affiliate networks and stores, which receive click information when you follow a store link.
• Legal reasons: when required by law, or to protect our rights, users or the public.

Some US state laws treat sharing data with advertising partners for targeted ads as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, even when no money changes hands. You can opt out with Cookie settings. We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as an opt-out.

Your choices and rights

• Cookies and ad tracking: use Cookie settings at any time, or your browser’s settings.
• Emails: use the unsubscribe link in any email.
• Access, correction and deletion: email privacy@emailerpros.com to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it.

US state residents (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia and others with privacy laws) may have the right to know, access, correct and delete personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising, “sales” and “sharing”. We won’t treat you differently for using these rights.

Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the use of their personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. We ask for consent before using analytics and advertising cookies in these regions. Our legal bases are consent (cookies and emails), legitimate interests (running and securing the site, and answering messages), and legal obligations. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and we’ll answer within the time the law requires.

How long we keep information

We keep contact messages for up to two years, unconfirmed coupon sign-ups for 30 days, and confirmed sign-ups until you unsubscribe. Short-link click counts are kept for about 13 months.

Security

The site uses HTTPS, and we limit who can access our systems. No method of storing or sending data online is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

International visitors

Home Catalog is run from the United States, and our service providers may process information in the US and other countries. Where required, those transfers rely on safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Children

Home Catalog is not meant for children under 16, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. Some categories are for adults only. If you think a child has given us personal information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
