We Do Not Sell Your Data: We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information, including your email address, to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our newsletter service (such as email delivery platforms like Mailchimp or SendGrid, analytics providers, and hosting services). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
Affiliate Partners: When you click on a software deal link, the third-party software vendor may see that you came from our website (via a referral link), but we do not share your email address or personal information with them unless you choose to provide it directly to the vendor.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with legal obligations.

Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity. We will notify you via email if this occurs and provide information about your rights and options.
With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly consent or direct us to do so.

Aggregated Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized data that cannot identify you personally (such as "30% of our subscribers clicked on productivity software deals") with partners or for marketing purposes.

Your Responsibility: We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit and software you purchase. Any information you provide directly to software vendors is governed by their privacy policies, not ours.

Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS
Secure storage of email addresses and subscriber data
Access controls limiting who can view your personal information
Regular security audits and monitoring

Limitations: However, no internet or email transmission is ever fully secure or error-free. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You should take precautions when sharing information online and use strong passwords if you create an account.
