Shooger Privacy Policy
Thank you for visiting Shooger.com. Your privacy is important to us and this Policy
explains our online information practices and the choices available to you regarding
the collection and use of personal information that you submit at through our Services.
PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY. BY USING OUR WEBSITE OR SERVICES, YOU
AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY AND THE SHOOGER TERMS OF SERVICE. IF YOU
DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE EXIT THIS PAGE AND DO NOT ACCESS OR USE OUR
WEBSITE OR SERVICES.
Updates to the Privacy Policy
From time to time, we may update this Privacy Policy. We will notify you about material
changes to this policy by placing a notice on our site. We encourage you to periodically
check back and review this policy so that you always will know what information
we collect, how we use it, and to whom we disclose it. The Privacy Policy statement
was updated on or about 25th March 2011.
Collection and Use of Information
Shooger collects two types of information about you: Personally Identifiable Information,
and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Personally identifiable Information: This includes information that can identify
a specific user. Certain actions on your part result in the creation and storing
of such personally identifiable information. For example, when you register to create
an account, or when you follow a merchant, create or share a Find or an Offer with
other users, or when you purchase an Offer, your actions can result in the creation
or request for personally identifiable information. Some of the personally identifiable
information may be mandatory and some may not be mandatory. If you choose not to
provide us the mandatory information requested, certain features of the Shooger
Services may not be available to you.
We may also request you to provide us personally identifiable information about
other users, such as for example, email addresses of your friends, in order to invite
them to use the Shooger Services, or to send them a gift that you may have purchased
for them through the Shooger Services. In such cases, Shooger will use such information
one time, to communicate with these other uses about an invitation to the Services
or about the availability of a gift, and to track the performance of such communications.
You or other users whose information you referred to us, may contact us by email
or at the mailing address below, to request us to remove any personally identifiable
information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This includes information that does not
specifically identify a user. Examples of such information include geo-location
of a browser or application or device that is used to access our Services, URLs
visited prior to visits to our website, or URLs visited after visits to our website,
device types, browser types, IP addresses or device specific identifiers. Shooger
uses such non-personally identifiable information to gather demographic data, to
analyze and understand trends and behavioral patterns, to measure and understand
the effectiveness of any aspects of our Services, to troubleshoot our Services,
and to comply with any applicable law.
Release of Information
Release of Personally Identifiable Information: Shooger will not release
any of your personally identifiable information, except as provided below:
- Sharing information with participating merchants
For some of our Services, Shooger in partnership with merchants creates offers for
products and services that you can purchase. During a purchase transaction, a participating
merchant might request some of your personally identifiable information. A merchant
may use that information to market directly to you, and Shooger disclaims any responsibility
or liability for such actions of a merchant.
- Sharing information with authorized partners
In order to provide our Services, we may need to share some of your personally identifiable
information with our partners and providers. Examples of such partners or providers
include credit card providers and banks who need to process your credit card payments,
or providers who host some parts of our website or other services, or providers
who host or provide email services required to deliver messages and notifications
to you.
- Sharing information in a business transfer
Any merger or transfer of assets of Shooger could result in the transfer of your
personally identifiable information to the successor company. Your information,
however, will continue to be subjected to this Privacy Policy.
- Sharing information to protect ourselves or others
Shooger reserves the right to release information as required by law, or as Shooger
believes that an information disclosure is required to protect our rights, or those
of our users or any other aspect of our Services, and to comply with any legal process.
Release of Non-Personally Identifiable Information: Shooger may share your
non-personally identifiable information with various third parties, including partners,
affiliates, merchants, advertisers and providers. Examples of such information collected
by us or our partners may include demographic information provided in aggregate,
which does not include any personally identifiable information, or tracking information
collected in order to understand usage and other statistical trends. We may publish
or share such information in order to promote our Services.
Your Choices
During your use of the Shooger Services, you will receive email and other communications
from us. Some of these communications are administrative in nature, such as for
example, welcome emails, tutorials, product updates, or your account details. Some
communications are promotional in nature, such as for example, a notice of an offer
that you might be interested in, or a service offering provided by one of our partners
or affiliates. You cannot opt-out of administrative communications while you use
our Services. However, with regard to promotional communications, you have the choice
to either stop receiving such communications by deselecting a specific feature of
our Services, or by explicitly selecting an opt-out feature provided by us on such
promotional communication (for example, as an unsubscribe link at the bottom of
a promotional email). You may also contact us by email or at the address provided
below, by including your name, address, and email address, along with details about
any specific communications you do not wish to receive from us.
You also have the ability to add or modify any of your personal information stored
by us, by logging into your account from our website. We encourage you to keep your
personal information current and up to date. You may also contact us by email or
at the address below to request any changes to your personal information. You may
request us to edit or delete your personal information. However, any information
stored by us relating to historical transactions through our Services cannot be
deleted as we store them for tracking and audit purposes. We also maintain backups
of information on our Services, so it may not be possible to completely delete all
your information.
Data Tracking
When you visit the Shooger website and use our Services, we may store cookies on
your computer. A cookie is a small file containing a string of characters that uniquely
identifies your browser. We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by
storing non-personally identifiable information, such as user preferences and tracking
user trends. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you can reset
your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being requested.
When you use Services, we may collect non-personally identifiable information about
your use of the Services. We use this data for analyzing and enhancing our Services
and sometimes we disclose it in aggregate form to our partners so that they can
improve their services.
We may also employ pixel tags, or other industry standard technologies on our Website,
Services, or through emails or other services provided by our partners. These technologies
use small graphic images placed on websites or emails, and they enable us to understand
whether you have performed a specific action on our Services, or to measure the
performance of our Services, or to understand usage patterns and trends.
Security
We take many precautions to protect the security of your information. You can access
your personal information through our Services by entering your personal username
and password. Your password is encrypted. We employ secure socket layer (SSL) technologies
to encrypt information in transit through the Internet. We take commercially appropriate
security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure
or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage
and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures
to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. Shooger
processes personal information on our servers in the United States of America and
in other countries. In some cases, we may process personal information on a server
outside your own country. We may process personal information on behalf of and according
to the instructions of a third party, such as our partners. We restrict access to
personal information to Shooger employees, contractors and agents who need to know
that information in order to operate, develop or improve our Services. These entities
are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including
termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
Other Privacy Issues

you can post information that will be publicly available to other users. These include
for example, deals found by you that you share with other users, or comments about
a business or deal that you wish to share with other users. In such cases, we have
no control over your submission of any personal information, that may cause others
to publicly read, store and use that information. We urge you to exercise caution
when posting any personal information on our publicly available features.

other services. By using the Shooger Services you agree to permit Shooger to access
your personal information from these other services, and you also agree to the terms
of use of those services.
- Third Party Services: This Privacy Policy applies only to information that
we collect from you through the Shooger website and Services. Other websites and
