Information That May Be Collected
Frugal Feeds may collect personal information that is voluntarily submitted through the website. This may include a name, email address, contact form details, or any other information provided when submitting a message, signing up for updates, entering a promotion, or interacting with a feature on the site.
The website may also collect non-personal or technical information automatically. This may include browser type, device type, IP address, referral source, pages visited, time spent on the site, and other general analytics data that helps with website performance and content planning.
How Information May Be Used
Information collected through Frugal Feeds may be used to respond to enquiries, review feedback, improve website performance, manage content, monitor site usage, prevent misuse, and support the general operation of the site.
Where contact details are provided voluntarily, that information may also be used to respond to requests, process submissions, provide updates, or manage other site-related communications. Personal information is not collected for unnecessary purposes and is generally used only where relevant to the functioning of the website or the request made.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Frugal Feeds may use cookies and similar technologies to improve site functionality, remember preferences, understand usage patterns, and support analytics, advertising, or affiliate tracking.
Cookies are small data files stored on a device through a web browser. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function properly, while others help measure traffic, understand how pages are used, or support third-party services. Browser settings may allow cookies to be managed, limited, or disabled, although doing so may affect some parts of the website.
Analytics and Third-Party Services
Frugal Feeds may use third-party tools and services to help measure traffic, understand how content performs, improve the user experience, and support the operation of the site. These services may collect information in accordance with their own privacy practices.
Examples may include website analytics providers, advertising partners, affiliate networks, social media tools, embedded media providers, spam protection services, form tools, and content delivery or security services. These third parties may use cookies, pixels, scripts, or similar technologies to collect usage data or support their services.
Affiliate Links and Advertising
Some pages on Frugal Feeds may contain affiliate links, sponsored placements, or advertising-related content. When a person clicks certain links, a third party may record that referral for tracking or commission purposes. This may involve cookies or similar technologies being used by affiliate platforms or advertisers.
Frugal Feeds may earn a commission from qualifying purchases or actions completed through some links. This may happen without increasing the price paid by the user. More information about this can be found in the site’s Affiliate Disclosure.
Contact Forms and Submitted Information
When a message is submitted through a contact form or similar feature, the information provided may be stored for the purpose of reviewing and responding to that enquiry. This may include contact details, message content, technical metadata, and any other information entered into the form.
Frugal Feeds aims to use this information only for legitimate website or communication purposes. However, it should be understood that no online method of communication or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Comments and User-Generated Content
If Frugal Feeds allows comments, submissions, or other user-generated content, information provided through those features may be visible publicly depending on how the feature is configured. Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal information in public areas of the website.
Frugal Feeds may retain, moderate, or remove comments and submissions where appropriate for spam prevention, legal compliance, editorial moderation, or general site management.
Frugal Feeds does not sell personal information to third parties. However, information may be shared where necessary to operate the website, provide a requested service, comply with legal obligations, investigate misuse, protect rights or safety, or work with trusted service providers who support the website’s operation.
This may include website hosting providers, analytics providers, email or form platforms, technical contractors, legal advisers, payment or affiliate partners, and other service providers involved in running the site. Information may also be disclosed if required by law or legal process.
Data Storage and Security
Reasonable steps may be taken to protect information held by Frugal Feeds from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. These steps may include secure hosting practices, access controls, software updates, and other practical protections appropriate to the nature of the website.
Even so, no website, database, or transmission system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. Any transmission of information through the internet is done at the user’s own risk.
Data Retention
Personal information may be kept for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, to respond to enquiries, maintain records, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, or support the legitimate operation of the site.
When information is no longer reasonably needed, it may be deleted, de-identified, or otherwise removed where practical.
Access and Correction Requests
A person who has submitted personal information to Frugal Feeds may request access to that information or ask for a correction where the information appears inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete.
Requests relating to personal information can be made through the Frugal Feeds contact page. Reasonable steps may be taken to verify the request before any action is taken.
Third-Party Links
Frugal Feeds may link to external websites, retailer pages, affiliate destinations, social media platforms, apps, or third-party content. Those websites and services operate independently and may have their own privacy policies and practices.
Frugal Feeds is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services. Visitors should review the privacy policies of those external sites where relevant.
Children’s Privacy
Frugal Feeds is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner that would breach applicable law. If information is believed to have been submitted inappropriately, a request can be made through the contact page for review.
Parents or guardians who believe personal information has been provided by a child in error are encouraged to get in touch so the matter can be considered.
