Privacy Policy
Generally Hotdeals does not collect, store, use or
disclose personally identifying information except in very specific
instances, such as, for example, when you provide your email address
as part of the sign-up process for our Newsletter or when you sign
up for our personalization services (ShareADeal). Whenever we collect
such information, you will have a choice regarding whether to provide
it, how it will be used, and to whom it will be disclosed. The instances
in which Hotdeals does collect and use information are specifically
described below in this Privacy Policy. Hotdeals provides savvy
shoppers with the latest available travel discounts and online coupons at a single destination
site. These services are provided by Hotdeals which is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Single Concepts, Inc ("Single Concepts"). Single
Concepts values its users and their concerns about privacy. To this
end, Single Concepts engages in consistent information practices
and uses its best efforts to make clear disclosures regarding those
practices. This Privacy Policy is a part of that effort.
What does this Privacy Policy cover?
This Privacy Policy applies to collection, use, storage
and disclosure of information by Single Concepts. If there are any
exceptions, we will clearly disclose them prior to collecting any
information, and will give you an opportunity to choose not to participate
or provide the information. Please be aware that, as part of the
Services, Single Concepts may provide links to Web sites operated
by third parties, and also provides search services to third parties
for display on their own Web sites or applications. Single Concepts
is not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices
or the content of those third party Web sites or applications. Also,
please be aware that banner ads on Single Concepts are provided
by a third party, which may collect cookies as part of the process
of serving those ads. These cookies are typically used for the purpose
of tracking performance of the banner ads. Single Concepts does
not determine which information will be collected by that third
party. Please see the paragraph below regarding Third Party Banner
Ads.
What information does Single Concepts collect
and how is it used? Does Single Concepts disclose
information to third parties?
Single Concepts may collect any or all of the following
three types of information: (a) traffic or clickstream data, (b)
cookies, or (c) contact information and other personally identifying
information. Single Concepts collection and use of each type of
data is described below, as well as the ways (if any) in which the
data may be shared with third parties.
(a) Traffic or Clickstream Data. Data about traffic
and usage is not personally identifying or identifiable, and is
not supplemented or combined with personally identifying or identifiable
information. Single Concepts may share information it collects with
certain selected third parties, but only in aggregated, anonymous
form. For example, we may tell an advertiser that a certain number
of people visited a certain area on our Web site, registered for
ShareADeal, or searched our site for "Amazon coupons". Single Concepts
collects some information regarding use of the Services by observing
browser functions and the files (pages) users access. For example,
Single Concepts servers collect information about the site to which
you may depart to enable Single Concepts to calculate and receive
payments from its partners. In addition, Single Concepts uses the
information (in aggregate form) to better design the Services.
(b) Cookies. Like many sites, Single Concepts collects
information about online behavior using cookies. These cookies contain
identification information that enables us to see how our users
are interacting with our site and how frequently they are returning,
as well as to streamline their experiences using the Services. Our
cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Cookies lets us know about repeat visitors and if we are delivering
quality products and services. Single Concepts may also use cookies
to identify which sites our repeat visitors are coming from, so
that we can place more of our online advertising on these sites,
and can, where necessary, pay our business partners. To Single Concepts,
using information within cookies is an anonymous way to survey how
we are doing and to look for ways to improve our Services. You may
set your browser software to reject cookies, but you may not be
able to use all of the features of the Services. Single Concepts
may share information about usage of the Services with third parties,
but only in aggregated, anonymous form. In the course of serving
advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place
or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.
(c) Contact Information or Personally Identifying Information. Single
Concepts can obtain access to your name, e-mail address and other
contact information only
(1) when you become a Newletter subscriber, advertiser/merchant
with Single Concepts, provide comments, submit a problem, or request
information from Single Concepts and provide your name or return
contact information, (2) when you register for
the advanced features of ShareADeal (more on this below), or (3)
in connection with special offers or contests. Contact information
provided in connection with problems, comments or requests is used
only to respond to those problems, comments or requests. This information
is not stored or used in connection with traffic or clickstream
data and is provided to a third party only as necessary to respond
to the comment, problem or request. Finally, you may choose to provide
contact information, other personally identifying information, and
demographic information in order to participate in optional surveys
or contests, which are run for promotional purposes. Single Concepts
uses such information to send you information about its products
and to notify you if you win the contest. Finally, from time to
time, but only with your permission, Single Concepts may provide
certain of its users' registration information to selected third
parties who wish to participate in special promotions offered in
conjunction with Single Concepts. Users may opt-out of receiving
such communications at any time by contacting Single Concepts.
Is data stored by Single Concepts secure?
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy,
and ensure the appropriate use of information, Single Concepts has
put in place physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to
safeguard and secure the information it collects online. However,
data security is a constantly evolving art and science. You should
consider any communication that you transmit to Single Concepts
(such as data, questions or answers, comments, or suggestions) as
non-confidential, and agree that Single Concepts will not be liable
or responsible if information that belongs to you is intercepted
and used by an unintended recipient.
Does Single Concepts collect personally identifying
information from or about children?
Single Concepts uses reasonable efforts not to collect,
use or disclose individually identifiable information from children
under the age of 13. The Services are not targeted at children,
and children may not register for any portions of the Services that
require registration. Please check with those sites to determine
their privacy policy.
How can I access or correct any personally
identifying information about me?
To request a copy of the personally identifiable information
you have sent to Single Concepts, please send an email containing
your request to customerservice@hotdeals.com.
You must provide your full name and the e-mail from which the request
is received (and to which the response will be sent) must match

delete such information using the procedures specified in the e-mail.
