Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Topsby AI ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit topsby.ai (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Email address — If you subscribe to our deal alerts newsletter via the email signup form on our pages. We use Mailchimp to manage our mailing list.
• Feedback — If you use the ranking feedback buttons on our deal pages, we record the vote (too high / too low) along with the listing ID and page. No personal information is collected with votes.

Information Collected Automatically

• Analytics data — We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, time on site, device type, browser, approximate geographic location, and referral source. GA4 uses first-party cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information by default.
• Cookies — The Site uses cookies set by Google Analytics for traffic analysis. These are first-party cookies that expire after 2 years. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Email addresses are used solely to send you deal alert emails. We will never sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.
• Analytics data helps us understand which pages and products are most useful, improve our AI ranking methodology, and optimize the user experience.
• Ranking feedback (votes) is used to evaluate and improve the accuracy of our AI-generated rankings.

3. Affiliate Links & Third-Party Tracking

Our deal pages contain affiliate links to third-party marketplaces (such as eBay). When you click an affiliate link:

• You are redirected to the marketplace's website, which is governed by that marketplace's own privacy policy.
• The affiliate network may set cookies on the marketplace's domain to track whether a purchase was made. These cookies are set by the marketplace, not by Topsby AI.
• We may earn a commission if you make a purchase through an affiliate link. This happens at no additional cost to you.

We may use affiliate aggregation services (such as Skimlinks) to manage affiliate relationships. These services may process click data to attribute commissions. For more information, refer to the respective service's privacy policy.
