5. Affiliate Tracking & FTC Disclosure

⚖️ FTC Disclosure: PureCouponCodes participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a deal or coupon link, we may earn a commission from the retailer. This is disclosed in compliance with FTC guidelines — 16 C.F.R. Part 255. 

Affiliate tracking works through cookies placed when you click a deal link. These cookies allow the retailer or affiliate network to recognize that you came from our Site and credit us with any resulting commission. The commission comes at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is identical whether or not you arrive via our link.

Our editorial team independently selects, verifies, and tests all coupons on this Site regardless of affiliate relationships. Affiliate income does not influence which coupons are featured or ranked.

6. Your Rights Under CCPA (California Residents)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, grants you the following rights regarding personal information collected through cookies:

🔍

Right to Know

Request disclosure of what personal information we have collected, the sources, business purposes, and third parties we share it with.

🗑️

Right to Delete

Request deletion of personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions required by law or business necessity.

🚫

Right to Opt-Out

Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information to third parties, including advertising partners.

⚖️

Non-Discrimination

We will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised your CCPA rights.

To submit a CCPA request, email privacy@purecouponcodes.com with the subject line "CCPA Request" or visit our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page. We will respond within 45 days as required by law.
