Privacy Policy

Hut of Deals (“Hut of Deals,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who access or use the website www.hutofdeals.com and any associated mobile applications or services (collectively, the “Platform”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

The Platform is owned and operated by Creative Jungle. All rights, title, and interest in the domain name, website, and associated intellectual property vest with Creative Jungle.

By accessing or using the Platform, registering an account, or participating in any bid, auction, or transaction offered on the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described herein. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Platform.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions, which separately govern your use of the Platform, participation in bids, payments, and related contractual matters.

3. Disclosure of Information

We do not disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties except in the following circumstances:

  • With your consent.
  • With service providers who assist us in operating the Platform (e.g., payment processors, logistics partners, and IT service providers), who are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for the purpose it was shared.

  • In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to confidentiality obligations.

We track aggregate, non-identifiable visitor statistics (such as total visits) to help us improve the Platform. This aggregate analysis does not involve the extraction of personally identifiable information.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Platform uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise your browser, remember preferences, and understand how the Platform is used. Cookies used on the Platform primarily collect non-personal information such as browser type, operating system, and domain name, and help us improve the user experience.

You may configure your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being used; however, some features of the Platform may not function properly without cookies.

5. Advertising

We may work with third-party partners to display a limited set of advertisements on the Platform. These partners do not receive your personally identifiable information through this process. Aggregate, non-identifiable profile information (such as general user-community trends) may be used to make advertisements more relevant. Certain banner advertisements may include embedded pixels that report session-level connection information (such as ad click counts) without linking to any cookie or personal profile data.

6. Data Security

We maintain reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Sensitive information, such as payment card details, is transmitted using standard industry-recognised security protocols (such as TLS/SSL encryption) and is processed through secure, compliant payment gateways.

In the unlikely event of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you by email without undue delay and take reasonable steps to restore the integrity and security of our systems, in line with applicable law.

7. Data Retention and Updates

You may update your personal information at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. When you update your information, we may retain a copy of the prior version for record-keeping and audit purposes, as permitted by law. We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by applicable law (including tax and financial record-keeping obligations).
