Privacy Policy

The Bargain Boy (thebargainboy.com) is run by Alex at Astroid Media. It is an Amazon deals site. We list a small set of products whose current Amazon price looks meaningfully below that product's recent price history. This page says what we collect when you use the site, and what we do not.

Affiliate relationship

Deal links on this site go to Amazon with our Associates tag. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. That is how the site stays online. It does not change which deals we post.

No accounts here

We do not ask you to create an account. We do not collect names or payment details on this site. If you buy, you buy on Amazon, under Amazon's own terms and privacy policy.

Daily deals email

If you sign up for the daily deals email, we store your email address, when you signed up, which page you signed up from, and whether you confirmed. We send one email asking you to confirm, and nothing else until you do. We use your address only to send the deals email. We do not sell, rent, or share it. Emails are delivered through our email provider, Resend, which processes the address only to send them. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops all email from us right away, and you can ask us to delete your address at the contact email below.

Click and redirect logs

Tapping a deal sends you through a short /go redirect, then to Amazon. We may log that hop so we can see which deals people open. A log can include:

Those logs stay in our own records for running the site: which deals were opened, debugging, and abuse prevention. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We do not claim the logs are anonymous. A referring page or user-agent can sometimes identify someone if it is combined with other data.

We also keep a first-party log of page views on this site (the page, the time, the referring site, an approximate country and network, the user-agent, and a one-way hash of your IP address that changes every day, never the address itself) so we can count real visitors and filter out bots, with no cookies and no third-party analytics.

Cookies and third parties

We do not set our own tracking cookies on these pages. The host that serves the site may keep ordinary request logs, such as an IP address and user-agent, to keep the pages online. We do not add a separate analytics script to this site.

To mark deals as new since your last visit, the page stores the time of your last visit in your browser's local storage. It stays on your device, is never sent to us, and you can clear it any time by clearing site data.

Deal links send you to Amazon. Amazon and other third parties may set cookies or collect data once you leave, under their own policies. We do not control those cookies, and we do not see what you do on Amazon.
