- When processing serves our legitimate business interests
- To comply with applicable laws and regulations
We keep your personal information only as long as necessary. Once we no longer need it, we securely delete it or make it anonymous. However, we may retain certain data to comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
Living in the European Economic Area (EEA)? You have specific data protection rights. Want to know what information we hold about you? Simply reach out, and we’ll provide those details or remove your data from our systems.

Important: Affiliate Disclosure
Full transparency: CouponDestiny earns commissions through affiliate marketing. When you click certain links and make purchases, we receive a small commission—at absolutely no extra cost to you.
Think of it as a “thank you” from merchants for sending them customers. This helps us keep CouponDestiny completely free while maintaining our extensive coupon database.
We partner with several affiliate networks, including:
- Amazon Associates Program
- ShareASale Network
- CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)
- Rakuten Advertising
- Impact Radius
- Individual merchant affiliate programs
Rest assured: We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe offer value. Our editorial integrity remains completely independent of affiliate commissions.

Like most websites, we use log files to track visitor activity. These files record standard information such as IP addresses, browser types, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), timestamps, referring pages, and click data.
Importantly, this data isn’t linked to your personal identity. Instead, we analyze it to understand trends, manage our site, track user navigation patterns, and gather demographic insights.
