1. Who We Are

Startup Deals Ltd is a UK-based platform that shares curated offers, deals, and discounts for startups and small businesses. We may earn commissions through affiliate partnerships, which help support the free content and tools we provide.

2. Description of Our Services

We offer access to business discounts and startup-related deals via our website, email newsletters, and digital campaigns. Our services include curated affiliate links to third-party websites and platforms. When you engage with our content, we may collect limited personal data to provide updates, optimise performance, and improve our offerings.

3. What Data We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal data:

• Contact information (e.g. your name and email address) when you sign up for our newsletter or fill in a contact form

• Technical data including IP address, browser type, device type, and browsing behaviour (via cookies or analytics tools)

• Marketing preferences and engagement with our content

We do not collect sensitive personal data or payment details.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

• Send newsletters and promotional emails (with your consent)

• Respond to enquiries via our contact form

• Improve the functionality and performance of our website

• Monitor affiliate engagement and site analytics

• Comply with legal obligations

Lawful Basis for Processing:
We process your personal data under the following legal bases as defined in the UK GDPR:

• Consent: for marketing emails and the use of non-essential cookies

• Legitimate Interest: for improving our website and services, preventing fraud, and understanding how users interact with our site

We will only use your data for the purposes we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another related purpose that is compatible with the original one.

5. Use of Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyse website traffic, and deliver relevant marketing.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Some cookies are essential for site functionality; others are used for analytics and marketing.

For more information, please see our Cookie Policy.

6. Affiliate Links and Tracking

Some links on our website are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. These links may use tracking technologies provided by affiliate networks. We do not receive or store any of your payment details or personal data from those third-party websites.

Third-Party Website Disclaimer:
Startup Deals Ltd is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, availability, or policies of external websites linked through our platform. Users are encouraged to review the terms and privacy policies of any third-party websites they visit.

7. How We Store and Protect Your Data

We store your data securely using reputable third-party platforms (e.g. email marketing providers) that are compliant with UK data protection laws. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to prevent unauthorised access, misuse, or disclosure.

Your data is stored only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law.

8. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your data. We may share your information with trusted service providers who assist with website functionality, email communications, and analytics — but only where necessary and with appropriate safeguards in place.

We may use third-party platforms such as Mailchimp (for email marketing) and Google Analytics (for analysing website performance). These providers are required to process your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law.

9. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you

• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data

• Request deletion of your personal data (in certain circumstances)
