Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy covers two related services operated by the same individual in the United Kingdom:

• KicksKorner.store — a deals website featuring hand-picked Amazon products
• Bargain Sniper UK — a free deal-sharing community on Facebook, Telegram and Discord

Both services participate in the Amazon Associates Programme and may earn a small commission when you purchase through our affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect minimal data:

• Newsletter email address — only if you voluntarily subscribe. Stored and processed by Mailchimp. Used solely to send deal alerts. Never sold or shared.
• Local preferences — cookie consent status and deal votes are saved in your browser's localStorage only. This never leaves your device.
• Anonymous analytics — basic page view counts to help us understand which deals are most popular. No personally identifiable information is captured.
• Facebook Page insights — if you interact with our Facebook Page, Facebook provides us with anonymised, aggregated engagement data only. We do not receive your personal Facebook profile data.

We do not collect names, payment information, or device identifiers.

3. Cookies

KicksKorner.store uses localStorage (not advertising cookies) to save your cookie consent choice and vote history. When you click through to Amazon, Amazon may set their own cookies — see the Amazon.co.uk Privacy Notice .

4. Affiliate Links

All links to Amazon products on our website and social channels are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. This does not affect the price you pay. Amazon does not sponsor or endorse KicksKorner or Bargain Sniper UK.

5. Facebook & Meta Platform

Bargain Sniper UK uses the Meta Graph API solely to publish deal posts to our own Bargain Sniper UK Facebook Page. We use the following permissions exclusively for this purpose:

• pages_manage_posts — to publish deal posts to our own Page only
• pages_read_engagement — to read engagement metrics on our own Page posts only

We do not use these permissions to access, store or process any other user's data, pages, messages or content. We do not request access to any user's personal Facebook account data. All API activity is limited to our own Bargain Sniper UK Page.

6. Newsletter (Mailchimp)

If you subscribe to deal alerts on KicksKorner.store, your email address is stored by Mailchimp and used only to send you deal notifications. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email. We will never sell or share your email address.

7. Third-Party Services

Our services interact with the following third parties, each governed by their own privacy policies:

• Amazon.co.uk — product links and affiliate programme
• Meta / Facebook — Page hosting and API
• Telegram — deal channel broadcasting
• Discord — community server
• Mailchimp — newsletter email delivery
• Netlify — website hosting
• Supabase — deal database storage (no personal data stored)

8. Your Rights (UK GDPR)

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from newsletter)
• Lodge a complaint with the ICO (ico.org.uk)

Since we collect very little personal data, most requests will be straightforward. Contact us via Telegram or Facebook Page and we will respond promptly.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will delete it immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
