Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 12, 2026

I Only Shop Sales (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices regarding your data when you use ionlyshopsales.com (the “Site”).

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and an encrypted password. We do not store passwords in plain text.
Deal alerts: If you subscribe to deal alerts, we store your email address and notification preferences.
Communications: If you contact us, we retain the content of your message and email address.

Information Collected Automatically

Usage data: We log anonymized page views and click data (which deals you click on, pages you visit) to improve our service. Click data is stored with hashed IP addresses and user agents — we do not store your raw IP address.
Device information: We detect general device type (mobile, tablet, or desktop) for analytics. We do not fingerprint your browser.
Referral data: We record how you arrived at our site (e.g., search engine, social media) and any UTM parameters in the URL.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Essential Cookies

We use cookies for authentication (keeping you logged in) and basic site functionality. These are necessary for the Site to work properly.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand site usage patterns. Google Analytics collects anonymized data about page views and site interactions. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. We may also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-friendly and does not use cookies or track individual users.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies

When you click an outbound product link, third-party affiliate services may set their own cookies to track purchases for commission attribution. These services include:

Sovrn Commerce (formerly VigLink)
Skimlinks
AWIN
Commission Junction (CJ Affiliate)
Rakuten Advertising
Impact
ShareASale

These cookies are set by the affiliate networks, not by us. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies. For more details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or sell your data to third-party advertisers.

3. How We Use Your Information

To generate anonymized aggregate statistics (e.g., most popular categories).

4. Third-Party Services and Affiliate Links

When you click an outbound product link on our site, you may be redirected through one of our affiliate partners before reaching the retailer's website. These affiliate services may collect information about your click and subsequent purchase for commission attribution purposes. For more details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only:

With service providers that help us operate the Site (e.g., email delivery, hosting).
