Consumer Information
During the process of delivering an ad to you, Scanner Discounts does not collect any personally
identifiable information about you such as name, address, phone number, or e-mail address.
However, Scanner Discounts does obtain some types of non-personally identifiable information such as
the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet, your browser type, or the type
of computer operating system you use (Macintosh or Windows, for example). The information
collected by Scanner Discounts is used for the purpose of targeting ads and measuring ad
effectiveness on behalf of our advertisers.
If you would like additional information about the types of non-personally identifiable
information that is collected by Scanner Discounts please mail us.
In some cases, you may voluntarily provide personal information in response to a specific ad
(this ad may ask you to fill out a survey or provide your zip code). If this does occur,
Scanner Discounts may collect this information on behalf of an advertiser. This information is used by
an advertiser to respond to your request. In addition, Scanner Discounts may combine this information
with other users' information and review it in an aggregate form to understand the type of
individuals who view a specific type of ad or visit a particular kind of website.
Scanner Discounts Profile
Scanner Discounts use anonymous identifiers (cookies) to collect anonymous preference and interest
information. This information is provided by Scanner Discounts and is used by Scanner Discounts to
create anonymous interest profiles on individual browsers. This information does not include any
personally identifiable data (such as name, address or e-mail address) that is considered
sensitive or controversial or would compromise a consumer’s privacy. Scanner Discounts profiles are
accessed by Scanner Discounts to tailor site content, promotions and advertising, and to perform
market research. Scanner Discounts allows consumers to opt-out from these profiles at any time.
Data Collection and Opt Out
Scanner Discounts, as well as most sites on the Internet, uses "cookies" to enhance your experience
on the web. Scanner Discounts cannot use these cookies to personally identify you in any way. What
are cookies and why do we use them? A cookie is a unique number that is provided to you the
first time Scanner Discounts serves you an ad. This unique number, which is stored in a cookie file
on your computer, helps Scanner Discounts target ads to you. This cookie can help Scanner Discounts
ensure that we don't serve you the same ad multiple times, and help our advertisers understand
what you like and don't like about their offerings so that they can cater better to your needs
the next time you are interested in their products or services. While we believe that cookies
enhance your Internet experience by limiting the number of times you see the same ad and
delivering more relevant content to you, they are not required for Scanner Discounts to deliver you
an ad.
If you do not want the benefit of cookies, there is a simple procedure to manually delete your
cookies. Please consult your web browser's Help documentation for more information.
Opt Out Procedure
If you would like to "opt out," that is, to prevent any data from being stored by Scanner Discounts,
please mail us.
