Privacy Policy
Personal Data Collected
Frugl collects only the personal information you provide voluntarily. This includes:
Your name (first and last name).
Your email address.
We do not collect any other personal details (no addresses, phone numbers, etc.). We also do not collect or store any payment or financial information, as all purchases are made on third-party websites.
How We Use Your Information
1. Price Alerts: We use your name and email only to send you the price alerts you requested (when a product’s price meets your target).
2. No Marketing: We will never use your email for advertising, newsletters, or promotions. You will receive only transactional alert emails.
3. Unsubscribe: You can unsubscribe from alerts at any time. Every email includes an easy opt-out link.
Our data practices comply with Canadian privacy law. We only collect what is strictly necessary for the Service and we use your information only for the purpose you expect (sending alerts).
Cookies and Tracking
We use a cookie banner to obtain your consent before placing cookies on your device. You can accept or reject cookies, and you can change your preferences at any time.
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about website usage (for example, page visits and site performance). This helps us improve Frugl.
We respect PIPEDA’s rule that users should understand cookie use and give consent.
Third-Party Services
Frugl uses third-party providers to operate the Service:
1. MailerLite: We use MailerLite to send alert emails. MailerLite securely delivers emails on our behalf. Importantly, MailerLite will never rent, sell, or share your personal datamailerlite.com.
2. Google Analytics: As mentioned, Google Analytics is used for site metrics only. We do not provide Google with your name or email.
We do not share or sell your personal information to any other third parties. Your data is used only to provide the Service.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data. Access is limited to authorized personnel and we use standard security practices. However, no internet-based service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
Data Retention
We keep your name and email only as long as needed to provide alerts. If you unsubscribe or stop using the Service, we will delete your personal data from our active database.
Children’s Privacy
Frugl is accessible to users of all ages. We do not specifically target children or knowingly collect information from minors. If you are under a certain age, please obtain parental permission before using the Service.
Compliance with Laws
We follow Canadian privacy laws. For example, PIPEDA requires us to be open about how we use personal data, and we only collect what’s necessary. We also comply with Canada’s anti-spam law (CASL) for emails. Our alert emails are considered transactional (they provide factual price updates you requested), which are exempt from CASL’s prior-consent ruleNevertheless, all alert emails include an unsubscribe link, as required by law.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with the date. Your continued use of Frugl after changes means you accept the new policy.
