Remember your preferences, like your theme choice.

You can set your browser to block cookies, but please be aware that some parts of DealDog may not work correctly if you do.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. Period.

We only share information in these specific situations:

Service Providers: We share your email with Amazon Web Services (AWS SES) because they are the service we use to send you price alerts.
Legal Requirements: If we are required by law, we may disclose your information.
Business Transfers: If DealDog is ever sold or merged, your data would be transferred to the new owner.

5. Our Relationship with Amazon

DealDog is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This means that when you click a link to Amazon from our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This does not impact the price you pay or change the price data we show you in any way.

6. Data Security

We use appropriate technical measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
