What information does PriceBlink collect?

PriceBlink collects two types of data:  1) User Submitted Data, and 2) Passive Data.

User Submitted Data
PriceBlink collects personal information that you provide to us for the purposes of site updates, newsletters, notifications, and additional PriceBlink functionalities.   Examples of User Submitted Data that you have the option of providing might include email, zip code, phone numbers.  We will not use this data to provide any services or marketing that you have not requested.  We may share User Submitted Data with persons we employ directly, or as contractors or agents at our direction, for purposes of administering our business activities, or providing customer services such as support.

You are not required to provide any User Submitted Data to use PriceBlink.  By providing additional information, PriceBlink might be able to provide additional functionality to users, but there is no requirement that users provide personal information to use PriceBlink.

Passive Data

PriceBlink Add-on

When you use your browser to navigate the web, the PriceBlink add-on enables you to find additional pricing and coupon information.  In order to provide these services, the PriceBlink add-on collects the following information: the characteristics of the product you are viewing, the url of the page you are on, and other anonymous technical data such as IP address.

In order to provide more accurate pricing and availability information on the product you are viewing, the PriceBlink add-on may visit third-party sites, such as other merchants, in the background.

Cookies

PriceBlink utilizes an industry standard technology called "cookies" to collect information about how PriceBlink is used. Passive Data collected may include your browser type, operating system, ISP, the date / time of visits, PriceBlink.com pages viewed, and the referring site to PriceBlink.com and any third party site PriceBlink links to. Passive Data is collected on an aggregate basis without any association to your personal information so that you remain anonymous.

We may also allow third parties, such as advertisers on our PriceBlink, to place cookies on PriceBlink in order to improve your online experience after you leave PriceBlink. The third party cookies used on PriceBlink are designed to improve your online experience by facilitating the receipt of targeted advertisements while on PriceBlink and while you are viewing other websites. These third parties may use information about your visits to PriceBlink and other web sites obtained through their cookie only to provide advertisements for goods and services of interest to you. Other companies' use of these cookies is subject to their own privacy policies and not ours.  We do not provide these third parties with any personally identifiable information.

Clicking on links to third party sites within the PriceBlink extension will, in many cases, route the user via an affiliate network.  In such cases, affiliate cookies may be used.

If you do not wish to transmit cookie information about yourself, you may choose to turn off the cookie function in your web browser.  If you do choose to turn off cookies, certain features of PriceBlink might be affected and not work properly.
