This Privacy Notice explains how Sell Traces, Inc. ("Rebates," "we," "our," or
"us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you use
Rebates. Rebates includes our websites, account dashboard, command-line tools,
integrations, sponsored content, referrals, earnings and payout features, APIs,
documentation, and support services (the "Service").
The short version
We collect information needed to run the Service, secure accounts, show and
measure sponsors, credit earnings, make payments, prevent abuse, and improve
the product.
Features and integrations may process information from your device or tools,
including project information and content you submit or make available. What
is processed depends on the feature and your settings.
We share information with service providers and business partners when needed
to operate the Service, deliver sponsorships, process payments, comply with
law, or complete a business transaction.
Privacy controls reduce collection or sharing in specific situations, but
turning off one feature does not erase records we must keep for security,
accounting, fraud prevention, payments, or legal compliance.
You can ask questions or exercise applicable privacy rights by emailing
privacy@rebates.ai.
Information we collect
Information you provide
We collect information you give us, such as your email address, profile details,
account preferences, payout information, referral activity, support messages,
feedback, and any content or files you choose to submit.
Information from your device and use of the Service
We collect device and network information, identifiers, authentication and
session data, IP address, user agent, timestamps, pages and features used,
commands or requests made, sponsor views and clicks, earnings activity, error
and diagnostic data, and similar logs.
Our local tools may create settings, credentials, device identifiers, caches,
backups, and integration files on your device. Local information stays on your
device unless a feature sends it to the Service, you submit it, or another tool
or service you use transmits it.
Information processed by features and integrations
Depending on the feature and your settings, Rebates may read or process project
metadata, package or workspace information, prompts, model responses,
transcripts, files, or other content made available through an enabled
integration. Processing may happen locally, on our systems, or through a
service provider.
We may apply redaction, filtering, minimization, or other safeguards before or
after transmission. These safeguards reduce risk but do not guarantee that all
sensitive information will be removed. Do not enable a feature for content you
are not allowed to share or process.
Information from other sources
We may receive information from authentication providers, payment and payout
providers, advertisers, analytics and security providers, connected services,
public sources, and other partners. Their handling of your information is also
governed by their own privacy policies.
How we use information
We use information to:
provide, personalize, maintain, and improve the Service;
authenticate users, secure accounts and devices, and troubleshoot problems;
select, deliver, measure, and report sponsored content;
calculate, review, credit, withhold, reverse, and pay earnings or referrals;
detect and investigate fraud, invalid traffic, abuse, and security incidents;
communicate about accounts, support, payments, product updates, and legal
changes;
analyze performance, reliability, adoption, and business operations;
enforce our agreements and protect users, partners, and the public; and
comply with legal, tax, accounting, sanctions, and regulatory obligations.
We may create aggregated, de-identified, or statistical information and use or
disclose it for lawful purposes. We do not attempt to re-identify information
that we treat as de-identified unless permitted by law for testing or security.
How we disclose information
We may disclose information to:
service providers that support hosting, storage, authentication, email,
analytics, security, support, payments, legal, and other operations;
advertisers and advertising partners to select and deliver sponsors,
measure performance, attribute activity, prevent fraud, and fund earnings;
payment, tax, and financial providers to verify eligibility, process and
reconcile payments, and meet compliance obligations;
connected services when you enable or direct an integration;
professional advisers and authorities when reasonably necessary to comply
with law, respond to legal process, enforce agreements, or protect rights and
safety; and
transaction participants in connection with financing, diligence, a
merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets.
We may also disclose information with your direction or consent, or in an
aggregated or de-identified form that is not personal information under
applicable law.
Sponsorships and advertising
Rebates is funded in part by sponsored content. Sponsor selection and
measurement may use account, device, network, activity, and contextual
information. If a contextual feature is enabled, information made available to
that feature may be transformed and shared for sponsor selection, measurement,
reporting, fraud prevention, and related operations.
Some laws define "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" broadly enough
to cover certain advertising disclosures. Where applicable, you may have the
right to opt out. Email privacy@rebates.ai to make a request. Product controls
may also let you disable particular forms of contextual processing or local
integration.
Legal bases
Where a legal basis is required, we process information as necessary to perform
our contract with you, with your consent, to comply with legal obligations, and
for legitimate interests such as operating and securing the Service, preventing
fraud, serving and measuring sponsors, improving the product, and protecting
our rights. You may withdraw consent where processing depends on consent, but
withdrawal does not affect earlier processing.
Retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described
in this Notice. Retention depends on the type of information, the feature, and
our legal and operational needs. For example, account and service data may be
kept while an account is active; sponsor, earnings, payment, tax, fraud, and
security records may be kept longer for reporting, dispute, audit, and legal
purposes.
When information is no longer needed, we may delete it, de-identify it, or
retain a limited record where necessary to document a request or legal action.
Local files remain on your device until you or your system removes them.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location and the features you use, you may be able to manage
integration settings, contextual processing, cookies, communications, local
files, and account deletion. You may also have rights to access, correct,
delete, or receive a copy of personal information; object to or restrict
processing; withdraw consent; opt out of certain advertising disclosures or
profiling; appeal a decision; or complain to a regulator.
To make a request, email privacy@rebates.ai from the address associated with
your account and describe the request. We may verify your identity and may deny
or limit a request where permitted by law, including to protect another person,
preserve security or fraud records, or meet legal and financial obligations. We
will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Security and international transfers
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to
protect information. No system, transmission, redaction process, or storage
method is completely secure.
We are based in the United States and may process information in other countries
where we or our providers operate. Where required, we use recognized safeguards
for international transfers.
Children
The Service is not intended for anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has
provided personal information, contact privacy@rebates.ai.
Changes and previous versions
We may update this Notice as the Service, our practices, or the law changes. We
will publish each version with its effective date and provide additional notice
when required. A new version applies from its stated effective date; earlier
versions remain archived.
