Vouchr Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 12, 2025

Last Updated: September 12, 2025

Hi there! 👋 We're Vouchr — your go-to community-powered platform for finding, sharing, and upvoting the best deals on the internet.

We take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you use our website and services. It also outlines your rights and how you can reach out to us with any questions.

1. Who We Are

Vouchr ("we," "our," or "us") is operated by Vouchr Web Portal Services in the Philippines. We help users discover and share amazing deals while rewarding top contributors.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to make Vouchr awesome:

You provide it:

  • Name or nickname
  • Email address
  • Social login info (e.g., Google)
  • Deal posts, comments, votes
  • Deal alerts and preferences

We collect it automatically:

  • Device type and browser
  • IP address
  • Country (for local deal targeting)
  • Cookies and tracking data (more below)

We don't collect:

Sensitive personal data like government IDs, financial data, or biometrics — unless explicitly stated and with consent.

3. Why We Collect Your Data

Here's what we use your data for:

  • To let you create an account and log in
  • To notify you about deal alerts you've set
  • To track upvotes/downvotes and award "Vouch" points
  • To feature your posts on the leaderboard (if you're killin' it)
  • To keep the platform safe and moderated
  • To analyze trends and improve our features
  • To support affiliate links (we may earn a commission when you click and buy)

4. Cookies & Tracking

Yep, we use cookies 🍪 — the helpful kind.

  • Session cookies: So you stay logged in
  • Analytics cookies: So we can improve your experience
  • Affiliate cookies: So our partners know where the sale came from

You can manage or block cookies via your browser settings. Just know that some features might stop working properly if you do.

5. Third-Party Services We Use

We share limited data with trusted third parties to help us operate:

  • Supabase (for secure auth and database services)
  • Google / Facebook (for optional social login)
  • Vercel (for hosting the platform)
  • Affiliate networks (like Involve Asia or Skimlinks, to track purchases)

We never sell your data. Ever.

6. How Long We Keep Your Info

We only keep your info for as long as needed:

  • Your account data stays with us until you delete your account
  • Deal activity and analytics may be stored longer for platform insights
  • Inactive accounts may be deleted after 12–24 months of no use
  • Cookies auto-expire based on browser settings

7. Your Rights as a User

As per the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct or update your info
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • File a complaint with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) if you feel something's off

You can email us anytime at hello@vouchr.ph to make these requests.

8. Security Measures

We do our best to keep your data safe:

  • HTTPS encryption across the site
  • Limited access to sensitive admin areas
  • Regular backups
  • Passwords are encrypted and never stored in plain text

Still, no platform is 100% foolproof — if anything ever goes wrong, we'll notify affected users as required by law.

9. Changes to This Policy

We might update this page if laws change or we add features. We'll post a notice if it's a big change. You can always view the latest version at https://www.vouchr.ph/privacy
