Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Mubboo (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates mubboo.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with applicable US privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable.

Mubboo LLC is a limited liability company registered in the State of Wyoming, United States. We operate mubboo.com and publish independent editorial reviews focused on the United States market.

This policy describes how we handle personal information collected through our website and services.

2. What Information We Collect

Personal information we may collect:

• Account information: name, email address (when you register)
• Usage data: search queries, pages visited, features used, device type, browser, IP address
• Location: city-level location via IP detection or your manual selection (used to show relevant local content)
• Cookies and similar technologies: session cookies, city preference cookie (mubboo-city), analytics cookies
• Transaction data: if you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by our third-party payment provider — we do not store credit card details

What we do NOT collect:

• We do not collect sensitive information (health, race, political opinions) unless you voluntarily share it in a query
• We do not store credit card or bank account details

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and personalize the Mubboo service
• To show relevant local deals, prices, and recommendations based on your city
• To improve our service through anonymized, aggregated usage analytics
• To manage your account and subscription (if applicable)
• To send service-related communications (account confirmations, security alerts)
• To comply with applicable legal obligations

We will NEVER:

• Sell your personal information to third parties
• Use your data for purposes unrelated to the Mubboo service
• Send you unsolicited marketing without your explicit consent

4. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Services

Mubboo earns commissions through affiliate links when you click through to retailer websites and make purchases (see our Affiliate Disclosure).

When you click an affiliate link, you leave mubboo.com and are redirected to a third-party retailer website. That website has its own privacy policy which we encourage you to review.

We use the following third-party services:

• AWS (Amazon Web Services) — hosting and data storage (US East region)
• Google Analytics — anonymized website usage analytics
• Affiliate networks (Amazon Associates, CJ Affiliate, Impact.com, ShareASale) — affiliate link tracking

These third-party services have their own privacy policies and may collect data independently.

5. Cookies

• Essential cookies: session management, authentication, city preference
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics (anonymized, no personally identifiable information)
• We do NOT use advertising cookies or tracking pixels for ad targeting

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect service functionality.

6. Data Storage and Security

• All data is stored on secure servers hosted by AWS in the United States (us-east-1 region)
• We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
• Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only
• While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure

7. Data Retention

• Account data: retained while your account is active, deleted within 30 days of account deletion request
• Guest session data: automatically deleted after 7 days
• Analytics data: retained in anonymized, aggregated form

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence in the United States, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to delete your personal information
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information (note: Mubboo does not sell personal information)

Mubboo recognizes the Global Privacy Control signal as a valid opt-out request where applicable.

Mubboo is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, in compliance with COPPA.

If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information should contact us at support@mubboo.com.
