Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Hot Coupon Box ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit https://hotcouponbox.com or interact with our services. By using our website you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

We have written this policy in plain language wherever possible. If anything is unclear, please write to support@hotcouponbox.com and we will gladly explain.

1. Information we collect

We collect very little personal information. The data we do collect falls into the following categories.

1.1 Information you give us directly

Contact submissions. If you email us at support@hotcouponbox.com or submit a contact form, we receive your email address and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you and resolve your inquiry.
Deal tips. If you suggest a coupon code, store, or correction, we receive whatever information you choose to include in the submission.
Newsletter signups. If we offer a newsletter and you subscribe, we receive your email address solely for the purpose of sending the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time with one click.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Usage data. Pages viewed, search terms entered, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen size, approximate location (country and region derived from IP), referring URL, and timestamps of visits.
Cookies and similar technologies. Small text files stored by your browser to remember preferences and to track outbound clicks for affiliate commission attribution. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard web server logs including IP addresses, request paths, and response codes for security and reliability purposes.

1.3 Information from third parties

When you click an outbound link to a merchant, you may pass through an affiliate network's tracking system. That network may record your click, set cookies, and pass anonymous information back to us so we can be credited if you complete a purchase. We do not receive your name, payment details, or account information from these networks.

We do not require you to create an account to use Hot Coupon Box, and we do not ask for sensitive personal data such as payment card numbers, social security numbers, government IDs, or biometric data. We have no business reason to collect any of that information.

2. How we use information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes only.

To operate, maintain, and improve Hot Coupon Box, including diagnosing technical problems and preventing fraud.
To deliver relevant coupons and store recommendations to visitors.
To understand which deals are popular and which features need work, so we can build a better product.
To track outbound clicks for affiliate commission reporting and dispute resolution.
To respond to support requests, deal tips, and partnership inquiries sent to support@hotcouponbox.com.
To send newsletter emails to subscribers who have opted in.
To comply with legal obligations, court orders, and regulatory requests.

3. Affiliate links and commissions

Hot Coupon Box participates in affiliate programs with the merchants featured on this site. When you click "Get Code", "Visit Store", or any outbound link on Hot Coupon Box, you may be redirected to the merchant's website through a tracking URL. If you complete a purchase, Hot Coupon Box may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This commission is paid by the merchant out of their marketing budget. The price you pay at checkout is identical whether you click through us or go directly to the merchant.

Affiliate networks may set their own cookies on your device when you click an outbound link. Those cookies typically last between one hour and ninety days and allow the network to attribute a sale to the source that referred you. Please consult the network's privacy policy for details on how it processes your information.

For a more detailed explanation of how affiliate commissions work on Hot Coupon Box, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

4. Third-party services

We use trusted third-party services to operate Hot Coupon Box. They each have access only to the information needed to perform a specific function, and they are contractually obligated to protect it. These include:

Content delivery networks (faster page loads worldwide).
Analytics providers (aggregated, anonymous traffic data).
Affiliate networks (commission tracking).
Email delivery services (if you opt into our newsletter).

These third parties may receive certain information (such as your IP address, browser type, and the page you are visiting) when you interact with content they help us deliver. We do not authorize them to use your information for any purpose other than the service they provide to us.

5. Cookies and tracking technologies

11. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS), restricted access to systems, regular software updates, and security monitoring. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but we work hard to maintain industry-standard protections.

Material changes will be highlighted on the home page for a reasonable period and, where required by law, communicated to subscribers by email.
