Privacy policy

Version of Oct 26, 2026.

Black Friday Check is run by thehype: Crezee FZC, Business Centre, Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone, Sharjah, UAE 77239. Questions about your data, and requests to see or delete it: [email protected].

What we keep and why

• Your email address — to confirm it and to send you price emails for the products you added. We send emails only because you asked for them; there is no advertising and no newsletter.
• The product links you added and your target prices — to check prices and tell you when they change.
• When you agreed to this policy and which version — to show that you gave consent.
• When and to which mailbox we sent an email, and delivery complaints or hard bounces reported by our email provider — to limit emails and to stop writing to addresses that don’t want them.
• If you ask for your list link, the email you entered — for 24 hours, to limit emails, even if it doesn’t follow any products.

We don’t store IP addresses. They are used in memory to limit how often a form can be sent and are passed to hCaptcha with the captcha check. The site sets no cookies of its own. Before you send the form, your draft list (the product links and their names) is kept in your browser’s local storage, on your device only, so it’s still there if you come back; it’s removed when you send the form or clear the list. Once you open your list, its private link is kept there too, so the home page can take you back to it; it stays on your device and is removed when you unsubscribe. On the public pages (home, this policy, terms and the Black Friday guide) we measure visits and page speed with Cloudflare Web Analytics: it records the page address, the referring site, page load timings, your country and the type of browser and device, sets no cookies and doesn’t follow you across sites; the list, confirmation and link pages have no analytics.

Product prices are collected from store pages and kept without any link to people.

If you paste a public Amazon wishlist, Bright Data opens that wishlist page once to read which products are on it. We add up to 10 of them to your list as ordinary product links. What the wishlist contains is held only in the server’s memory until the end of the day; the wishlist’s ID stays in our record of paid page requests until Dec 27, 2026.

Legal basis

Your consent, given with the checkbox in the form, and providing the service you requested. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.

How long we keep it

• An unconfirmed request — 48 hours.
• Your email, your list and records of sent emails — until Dec 27, 2026, then deleted.
• Server backups — 7 days, so anything deleted from the database is gone from backups within 7 more days.
• The email provider’s delivery logs — according to its own retention settings.

Who else processes data

• Mailgun (Sinch, USA) sends our emails. Open and click tracking is off.
• hCaptcha (Intuition Machines, USA) checks the form.
• Cloudflare (USA) carries all traffic to this site and counts visits to the public pages (Web Analytics, no cookies).
• Hetzner (Germany) hosts the server with the database.
• Bright Data opens store pages to read prices, and the Amazon wishlist page if you paste one. It receives these links only, never your email.

Data is transferred to the USA and the UAE. We don’t sell or share personal data for advertising.

Your rights

You can ask to see your data, correct it or delete it, and withdraw consent: write to [email protected] from the email address you used. Every email from us has a one-click unsubscribe link. If you live in the EU or the UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.

Children

The service is not meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data.
