Privacy notice
PromoPlug lets you follow local businesses and get their weekly specials. This notice explains what we keep, in line with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
What we keep about followers
- No name, phone number or email. We never ask for them.
- A random device ID stored in a cookie and in your browser, so we know which businesses you follow.
- The businesses you follow, and when.
- Your browser's push notification address, so we can send you specials.
- A friendly device name (like "Chrome on Windows") and when each device was last used.
- Which specials were sent to each device and whether they were opened, so businesses see totals (never who you are).
Who sees it
Businesses see only counts: how many followers they have and how many people opened a special. We don't sell or share your data.
How long we keep it
Specials and their images are deleted 7 days after they're sent. Your follows stay until you unfollow or delete your data.
Your choices
- Unfollow any business from its page or from My specials.
- Turn notifications off for any device under Devices.
- Delete everything below.
Delete my data
This deletes your follows, all your linked devices and their delivery history. It can't be undone.
Businesses
Businesses can ask for their data to be exported or deleted by contacting us at hello@promoplug.co.za.
