Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

Ellemen (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates https://www.ellemen.net (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you browse deals, copy coupon codes, create a member account, join our email list, open support tickets, or submit an offer.

Ellemen is an editorial affiliate website. We do not sell products on the Site, take payment card details for merchandise, or ship orders. When you buy, you check out with a third-party merchant under that merchant’s own privacy terms.

1. Who we are

Controller for personal data processed through the Site: Ellemen / the operator of ellemen.net. For privacy requests, use the Contact page or email chao.open@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account details — email, display name, password (stored hashed), and optional profile text when you register.
• Email list preferences — address and Friday / coupon / brand alert choices.
• Support tickets — subject, message body, and replies you send us.
• Submissions — product title, merchant URL, price notes, coupon codes, and related comments you send for review.
• Contact forms — email and message content.

Information collected automatically

• Technical logs — IP address (often stored hashed for security and rate limits), browser type, device class, referring URL, and pages viewed.
• Cookies and similar tech — see “Cookies” below.
• Affiliate click records — when you leave the Site through a tracked link, we may store a click key, destination network, and timestamp so commissions can be reconciled. This is not a payment card.

Information from partners

Affiliate networks (for example Amazon, eBay, Impact, CJ, Awin, and similar partners) may provide aggregated or order-level reports tied to click identifiers. Those reports are processed to operate the Site and measure performance.

3. How we use information

• Operate, secure, and improve the Site (including fraud prevention and rate limiting).
• Provide member features: favorites, price alerts, tickets, submissions, and account security.
• Send emails you asked for (password reset, email confirmation, ticket replies, optional deal notes or alerts).
• Attribute affiliate clicks and commissions.
• Respond to legal requests where required.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not build advertising profiles to sell to unrelated third parties.

4. Cookies

Necessary cookies remember your cookie choice, keep login sessions working, and protect forms.

Optional analytics cookies (only if you accept) help us understand which pages and offers are useful. You can accept, refuse, or change this choice later using the control on this page.

Third-party merchants and networks set their own cookies after you leave Ellemen. We do not control those cookies.

5. Sharing

We may share data with:

• Service providers who host the Site, send email (SMTP), or provide security tooling — under instructions to process data for us.
• Affiliate networks and merchants when you click a tracked link (typically a click identifier and technical data needed for attribution).
• Authorities if required by law.

6. Retention

Account data stays while your account is active. You may export or delete your account from Member center → Security. Email list records stay until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove them. Click and security logs are kept only as long as needed for reconciliation, abuse prevention, and legal duties.

7. International visitors

The Site is published in English for shoppers researching cross-border offers. Servers or processors may be located outside your country. By using the Site you understand that information may be transferred to countries with different data-protection rules.

8. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Your choices

• Refuse optional analytics cookies.
• Unsubscribe from marketing-style deal notes using links in those emails or account preferences.
• Export or delete your member account where available.
• Request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (hashed passwords, nonces, rate limits). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

11. Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy. The “Last updated” date above is the version that applies. Material changes may also be noted on the Site.
