Privacy Policy

The short version

• We do not sell, rent or trade anyone's information. Ever. No ads, no ad trackers, no data brokers.
• The digiFREE^® app collects nothing about you. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your savings and favorites live on your phone.
• Merchants: we keep what you give us so we can verify you, list your discount and support you. Your contact details are never published.
• We keep only what we need, we tell you why and for how long, and you can ask us to delete it: privacy@digi-discounts.com
• Sponsors never get your information. Not a list, not an email, not at any price.

The rest of this policy is the detail behind those five lines.

1. Who we are and what this covers

Digi Discounts LLC ("Digi", "we", "us") is a New Jersey company. This policy covers:

• the digiFREE^® app and digiFREE LITE
• digi-discounts.com, and our merchant tools at eco.digi-discounts.com: the merchant form, digiECOSYSTEM, digiNETWORK, digiCREATE, digiLOCAL, digiGAMEDAY and digiNIGHTS
• Call to ACTION, Value² and our support channels

It does not cover a merchant's own store, website or checkout, or any other company's site we link to. They have their own policies.

2. If you use digiFREE (customers)

What we collect: nothing that identifies you.

• No account, no sign-in. We do not know who you are.
• No ads, no analytics tools, no tracking inside the app.
• The discounts come to you, not the other way round. The app downloads one published list that is the same for everyone. Nothing about you is sent to get it.
• Your savings, favorites and visit history stay on your phone. We never see them. Delete the app and they are gone.
• Your location stays on your phone. The app uses it on your device to show what is near you and to notice when you are at a merchant. It is not sent to us.

Maps.

• iPhone: maps are Apple's (Apple Maps). Nothing is shared with us.
• Android: maps are Google's. Google's map may collect information from your device under Google's own policy. Digi collects nothing and Google shares nothing with us.

App stores. Apple and Google give us totals (installs, ratings) that do not identify anyone. If you write a public review, we read it and may reply publicly from our internal tool.

Inviting a business you love happens on our website, not in the app. If you ask for a personalized share link there, section 5 explains what we keep. The app itself still collects nothing.

digiFREE LITE puts a merchant's loyalty card on the merchant's own website. Your browser loads the card from digi-discounts.com and asks us for that merchant's public card: their name, logo, discount and program, the same for everyone. As with any website, Cloudflare handles your IP address to deliver it. The card sets no cookie, keeps nothing on your device and does not tell us which page you were on. We keep nothing about you, and we do not count who sees it. To show a merchant the card is working, we look at their public homepage for it, the way any visitor's browser would.

3. If you are a merchant

What we collect, when you join or update your listing:

• Your business: name, where your discount can be used (your storefront address, or the areas you serve, and where you sell online), category, discount and levels, terms, codes, website, social links, review link, logo, photos and description.
• Your contact: name, role, email and phone, for each location's owner.
• Your agreement: that you accepted the digiMERCHANT Agreement, which version, and when, and each time you send us changes to your listing, that you agreed again; your answer about any franchise agreement.
• How you take payment: the point-of-sale or checkout system you use, only if you tell us.

Why: to verify you, publish your discount, keep your listing right, support you, and send you messages about your listing and account. Not marketing.

What is public, and what never is:

Signing in. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code we send you. The code expires in 10 minutes and we store it only in scrambled (hashed) form. Staying signed in uses one cookie on your device that lasts up to a year and renews when you use it. You can sign out, or sign out of every device, at any time. We never use text messages.

Notifications. They are off until you turn them on, on each phone. When you do, we keep the address your phone's browser makes for notifications, its two keys, a label like iPhone · Safari, and when it last reached you. You choose what rings (our replies to you, friends who join Call to ACTION from your link, changes to your listing), with a switch for each. The words are encrypted for your phone: your phone's notification service (Apple's, Google's or Mozilla's) carries them and cannot read them. A tap opens your own digiECOSYSTEM, never another website. Remove a phone at any time; signing out of a phone stops it ringing, and signing out of every device stops them all.

Your app settings. Your choices in your digiECOSYSTEM, like the three tiles on your opening screen and your notification switches, are kept with your sign-in so they follow you to any device. Badges you earn there (like ACTION Taker) are shown only to you.

digiLOYALTY, your loyalty program. We keep the program you build (its name, rewards, levels and switches) and your Counter Screens: each screen's name, its location, a secret that lets it show its code, and when it last checked in. A screen's secret is deleted the moment you turn it off. You see your customers as counts only: visits, customers at each level, rewards earned and used, birthday treats given. Never who, and never anyone's birthday. Your program and screens are deleted with your last location.

digiFREE LITE on your website. If you put your loyalty card on your website, we look at your public homepage when you ask us to check (and, if your website builder puts the card in a frame, that one frame on your own site or your builder's file host), and keep whether we found it, at which address, and when.

Changing your listing. When you send us changes from your digiECOSYSTEM, we keep each one: what it was, what you asked for, when, and our decision with the reason, together with the words you agreed to when you sent it. Pictures you send stay private until we approve them. A person at Digi reviews every change before it goes live, and if we cannot approve one, we tell you why. Your requests are kept with your listing and deleted with it.

Passkeys. If you add a passkey (Face ID, a fingerprint or your phone's screen lock), we keep only its public key, a counter, the name you see for it, and when it was last used. Your face or fingerprint never leaves your phone; we never see it. Lost your phone? Contact us: after we check it is you, a person at Digi removes the passkey, and that is recorded in our records.

Inviting another business. Your invite link carries a short random code of yours, never your email. When a business signs up through it, we keep its email, that you invited it, and when we thanked you. You see the names of the businesses you brought only once they are live (their listings are public anyway); until then, a number. When someone opens your link, our form can show your business name so they know who sent them; that is on at first, and you can switch it off.

Things that use your business name or logo:

• Welcome post. When you are approved, we may welcome you on Digi's social media with your business name, logo and handle. Ask us and we take it down.
• digiLOCAL. Customers can make graphics that show your business name and logo, to recommend you. We never see what they make. Ask us and we switch it off for your business.
• digiNETWORK. Posts you make show your business name and city to other merchants. If you tap I can help on another merchant's post, and confirm, your name, business and email go to that merchant only.

Other merchant tools:

• digiCREATE and digiGAMEDAY make graphics on your own device. Nothing you make is sent to us.
• digiNIGHTS. When you say you are going, we keep your business name and whether you are bringing a +1. Nothing about your guest.

How long we keep it: while you are on Digi. If you leave, your listing comes off the app at our next update, and we keep your agreement records for 7 years in case either of us ever needs them. Ask us to delete anything else.

Closing your business. You can close your business from your digiECOSYSTEM (Settings), or pause your discount instead. Either is a message to us, and a person at Digi does it with you: we take your discount off digiFREE first, so no customer ever reaches your register with a code that no longer works, and then delete your account and what your digiECOSYSTEM kept: your sign-in, settings, alerts, invites, digiNIGHTS sign-ups and everything in digiNETWORK (your profile, connections, wall, every ask you posted and every reply you left). A private conversation stays with the other owner, as an email you sent them would. We keep only your agreement records, and the Release for any Value² episode still published, as section 9 says.

4. If you subscribe to Call to ACTION

What we collect: your name, email, business, whether you are a new entrepreneur, how you found us, and whether and about what you would like us to contact you.

Why: to put the monthly call on your calendar and, only if you asked, to contact you about what you picked.

• Never shared. Not with sponsors, not with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, not with anyone.
• The public counter on the page is a number. No names.
• Leave any time. Ask us and we remove you; merchants can also tap Leave the list in their digiECOSYSTEM. Ask us to erase you and we do.

From your digiECOSYSTEM (merchants). If you are signed in, you can join with one tap. We use the email you sign in with and the first name and business from your listing, and nothing else. We contact you only if you ask on the public sign-up.

Bringing a friend. Your Bring a friend link carries a short random code of yours (never your email), so we know who brought whom and can thank you. When a friend joins through your link, you see their first name only if they tap Tell you they made it; otherwise you see a number, never a name. The same goes for you: if you join through a friend's link, your first name reaches them only if you tap it.

Calls you came to. A person on our team confirms who came to each call. We keep the date, your email, who confirmed it and when we thanked you; that is what your badges count. If you tap Join now in your digiECOSYSTEM, we note it as a hint for our team, never as proof you came. We also keep what your badges last showed you, so only something new is celebrated.

How we count attendance. We count each call from Zoom's own attendance report. Our systems never store the names or emails in it: they are compared once, inside a single request, and only the totals are kept. So our numbers can be proven if anyone asks, we export Zoom's participant list (names, emails where Zoom has them, and join and leave times) and keep it offline, never shared or sold, and delete it after 24 months. Sponsors see totals only.

5. If you contact us

digiMESSAGE and email (support@, welcome@, privacy@):

• Confirming your email. To send us a message from our website, you confirm your email with a 6-digit code we send you. Like the sign-in code, it expires 10 minutes after we send it and is stored only in scrambled (hashed) form.
• We keep the conversation, its words and any pictures you send, as a support record, so we can help you and follow up. Pictures are made smaller on your device before they are sent, which also removes the location and time a camera stores in a photo. Only you and our team can see them; they are never posted anywhere, and they are deleted with the conversation.
• Email stays in our Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Our staff read and answer it from our internal tool, which does not keep its own copy of the words.
• You can ask us to delete your conversation. We will, unless the law requires us to keep it.

Your personalized share link. On our website you can ask for a link to invite a business you love. We confirm your email first, and then use your name and email only to send your link, thank you when a business you invited goes live, and answer you. Nothing else, ever.

• Your link carries a short random code, never your email or name.
• Your first name is shown to a business that opens your link only if you switch it on. It is off at first.
• What we keep: your code, your switch, and who you invited (the business's email, when, and when we thanked you). It is deleted when you delete your account (section 10) or ask us to.
• The thank-you is one message in your conversation and, if you are away, one email that only links you back to it.
• Your invites never count toward any merchant's rewards or badges.

Your pass (digiLOCAL, My Local). With your share link comes your pass and your city's board. You pick almost everything from tiles and switches; the one thing you may type is your board name.

• What we keep: the board name you pick or write (we ask you not to use your full name), your color, your switches, what leads your pass, the level picture you wear, and your title when you earn one.
• My Hometown, only if you pick it: the city and area code you choose from our list, and each hometown you had before with the day you picked it, so your points stay with the hometown you had when you earned them. We never fill it in from where you are, and it does not have to be where you live.
• Your points come only from what this section already lists (your posts Instagram shows us, businesses that went live through your link, and your confirmed visits) and the city each business is in. Nothing else.
• A name you write yourself is checked for words that are not allowed and shows right away. Our team sees new names, can change one that breaks the rules, and tells you why in your conversation. Anyone can report a name on the board or on your page: we keep that it was reported and when, never who reported it.
• Your photo, if you add one, stays on your phone. We never receive it. Your pass on your own screen shows it; your public pass and the board show your initials or your level picture.
• When you share a post from digiLOCAL, which businesses were on it, for 7 days, so your post can count once Instagram shows it to us.
• Your public Instagram posts that tag @digidiscounts (section 6): each post's link, when, and which businesses it supported. Never your caption, never your Instagram name.
• The board and your page are off at first. Switch on Show me on the board and your board name, color, title, picture (your initials or your level picture), this month's numbers, your points, your hometown and its area code, your stamps (the cities of the businesses you helped) and the businesses on your wall are public, on the board and on your own page. Never your email. Your first name greets you on your own page only, and only if you switch it on.
• Each city's numbers are public: the points earned by supporters while it was their hometown, and how many call it home now. They name no one who is not on the board.
• Your page tells a business who sent it. If a business joins from your page, it says your board name sent them, before they tap.
• Recognition, never prizes. Nothing is given away, sold or sponsored on it.
• Tell me when the app is ready: if you switch it on, one message in your conversation the day digiFREE is ready. Never anything else.
• You can delete it, with everything else, any time (section 10).

Confirmed visits and rewards (digiLOYALTY). When you scan a merchant's Counter Screen with your phone's camera, our website confirms your visit to that merchant. You start every one; nothing happens in the background.

• Each visit: your pass's code, the business and which location, which of its screens, the day and week, the business's city, and whether it counted toward your points. Never what you bought, what you paid, or where you are.
• If you confirm your email during a scan, we hold the visit for up to 20 minutes, with only the screen and the time, until you do.
• Rewards: each reward a merchant's program gives you (its words, when you earned it, when it ends, and when and at which screen you used it), the level you have reached with each merchant, and, right after a scan, 10 minutes to use a reward at that counter without scanning again.
• Each merchant's program is theirs: they set its rewards, honor them and can change them. We show them as theirs.
• Merchants see counts only (visits, customers at each level, rewards used). Never your name, your email or your pass.
• Your birthday, only if you add it: the month and day, never the year, and when you last set it (you can change it once a year). A merchant can give you a birthday treat only if you say yes to that merchant, and we keep that yes (which merchant, and when). Merchants never see your birthday; they see how many birthday treats they gave.
• All of it is deleted when you delete your account (section 10). If a business leaves Digi, your visits there stay on your pass, because your points stand on them.

Booking a call or a Value² recording. You can book a call with us, or a Value² recording, only through a link we send you or, if you are a merchant, from your digiECOSYSTEM. Nothing about booking is public.

• What we keep: your name, email, business (if you give it), a note if you add one, the time you picked, and whether you moved or cancelled it.
• Value² recordings: before you can pick a time, you tick that you accept the Value² Guest Release. We keep which version you accepted and when.
• Setting it up: Microsoft puts the event on our calendar and sends you the invite; Zoom makes the meeting link (you join under Zoom's own policy). To find a time, we check only whether our own calendars are busy or free, never what is on them.
• Your invite has a link to move or cancel it. No account needed. We keep only a scrambled (hashed) copy of that link.
• A booking link we make for you works once and stops after 7 days. If we typed your name or email into it, they are kept with it.

6. If you comment on our social media

When you comment on Digi's own Facebook or Instagram posts, we read and answer it from our internal tool. We keep your public name or username and your comment. We do not look at or collect anything else from your profile. Delete your comment on the platform and it leaves our tool at our next check.

When a public Instagram post tags @digidiscounts, Instagram tells us about it. We read that one post once, to find a supporter link in it (digi-discounts.com/c/...), and keep only what section 5 lists for your pass. If there is no link, we keep nothing. Private accounts and stories never reach us.

7. If you visit our website

• No ad trackers and no third-party analytics.
• Hosting and security. Our website runs on Cloudflare, which handles technical information (like your IP address and browser) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots.
• Your device. Some pages save your progress in your browser (like a half-finished form) so you do not lose it. That stays on your device. The only cookie we set is the merchant sign-in cookie.
• Fonts. Served from our own site, not from Google.
• digiMAP. The map itself comes from OpenFreeMap, a free, open map service. It sees which part of the map is being looked at, not who you are. Your location is used only if you tap Near me, on your device, and is never sent to us.

8. Who we share information with

We never sell, rent or trade it. We share only with companies that run parts of Digi for us, only what they need, under their contracts with us:

We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

Sponsors never receive anyone's information.

9. How long we keep things

Backups. We copy our databases every night so nothing can be lost to an accident or an attack. Nightly copies are kept 35 days, and the copy from the 1st of each month 12 months; then they are deleted. When we delete something, it leaves our live systems immediately and our backup copies as they expire. If we ever have to restore a copy, everyone deleted since it was made is deleted from it again, as part of the restore.

10. Your choices

Anyone, anywhere, can ask us to:

• see what we hold about them
• correct it
• delete it

Email privacy@digi-discounts.com. We answer within 30 days. To protect you, we reply only to the email address we already have for you.

Delete it yourself. If you have a supporter card or a share link, open digiLOCAL, My Local, and tap Delete my account. We send a code to your email first, so nobody else can do it for you. Your pass, your board name, your hometowns, your link, your confirmed visits, rewards, levels and birthday, every conversation with us you confirmed with your email (with any pictures in it), your Call to ACTION subscription, your sign-in and any email you sent us are deleted: your sign-in at once, the rest usually within minutes. If you have a call booked with us, cancel it first. Your Instagram posts stay on Instagram: they are yours to delete there. Merchants close their business from their digiECOSYSTEM (section 3).

When the law makes us keep something. If a court order or another legal request names someone, we keep what we hold about them, unchanged, until it no longer applies, and then delete it as they asked.

11. Children

digiFREE is rated for everyone (4+) and collects nothing from anyone, children included. Our merchant tools, Call to ACTION and digiMESSAGE are for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If a parent believes we have, email privacy@ and we delete it.

12. Keeping it safe

• Every connection to us is encrypted.
• Only Digi staff who need it can see merchant and support information, and they sign in with a second step.
• Sign-in codes and sessions are stored scrambled, never as the real thing.
• Every change our staff make to merchant records is logged with who made it and when.

No system is perfect. If something ever goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you.

13. Changes to this policy

When we change it, we post the new version here with a new number and date, and keep every past version, word for word, at the bottom of this page (Version history). If a change affects merchants in a meaningful way, we email them before it takes effect.

Pure Intentions.

The short version

• We do not sell, rent or trade anyone's information. Ever. No ads, no ad trackers, no data brokers.
• The digiFREE^® app collects nothing about you. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your savings and favorites live on your phone.
• Merchants: we keep what you give us so we can verify you, list your discount and support you. Your contact details are never published.
• We keep only what we need, we tell you why and for how long, and you can ask us to delete it: privacy@digi-discounts.com
• Sponsors never get your information. Not a list, not an email, not at any price.

The rest of this policy is the detail behind those five lines.

1. Who we are and what this covers

Digi Discounts LLC ("Digi", "we", "us") is a New Jersey company. This policy covers:

• the digiFREE^® app and digiFREE LITE
• digi-discounts.com, and our merchant tools at eco.digi-discounts.com: the merchant form, digiECOSYSTEM, digiNETWORK, digiCREATE, digiLOCAL, digiGAMEDAY and digiNIGHTS
• Call to ACTION, Value² and our support channels

It does not cover a merchant's own store, website or checkout, or any other company's site we link to. They have their own policies.

2. If you use digiFREE (customers)

What we collect: nothing that identifies you.

• No account, no sign-in. We do not know who you are.
• No ads, no analytics tools, no tracking inside the app.
• The discounts come to you, not the other way round. The app downloads one published list that is the same for everyone. Nothing about you is sent to get it.
• Your savings, favorites and visit history stay on your phone. We never see them. Delete the app and they are gone.
• Your location stays on your phone. The app uses it on your device to show what is near you and to notice when you are at a merchant. It is not sent to us.

Maps.

• iPhone: maps are Apple's (Apple Maps). Nothing is shared with us.
• Android: maps are Google's. Google's map may collect information from your device under Google's own policy. Digi collects nothing and Google shares nothing with us.

App stores. Apple and Google give us totals (installs, ratings) that do not identify anyone. If you write a public review, we read it and may reply publicly from our internal tool.

Inviting a business you love happens on our website, not in the app. If you ask for a personalized share link there, section 5 explains what we keep. The app itself still collects nothing.

digiFREE LITE runs inside some merchants' own websites or apps. We can see which websites it runs on, so a merchant knows it is working. We see nothing about the people using it.

3. If you are a merchant

What we collect, when you join or update your listing:

• Your business: name, where your discount can be used (your storefront address, or the areas you serve, and where you sell online), category, discount and levels, terms, codes, website, social links, review link, logo, photos and description.
• Your contact: name, role, email and phone, for each location's owner.
• Your agreement: that you accepted the digiMERCHANT Agreement, which version, and when, and each time you send us changes to your listing, that you agreed again; your answer about any franchise agreement.
• How you take payment: the point-of-sale or checkout system you use, only if you tell us.

Why: to verify you, publish your discount, keep your listing right, support you, and send you messages about your listing and account. Not marketing.

What is public, and what never is:

Signing in. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code we send you. The code expires in 10 minutes and we store it only in scrambled (hashed) form. Staying signed in uses one cookie on your device that lasts up to a year and renews when you use it. You can sign out, or sign out of every device, at any time. We never use text messages.

Notifications. They are off until you turn them on, on each phone. When you do, we keep the address your phone's browser makes for notifications, its two keys, a label like iPhone · Safari, and when it last reached you. You choose what rings (our replies to you, friends who join Call to ACTION from your link, changes to your listing), with a switch for each. The words are encrypted for your phone: your phone's notification service (Apple's, Google's or Mozilla's) carries them and cannot read them. A tap opens your own digiECOSYSTEM, never another website. Remove a phone at any time; signing out of a phone stops it ringing, and signing out of every device stops them all.

Your app settings. Your choices in your digiECOSYSTEM, like the three tiles on your opening screen and your notification switches, are kept with your sign-in so they follow you to any device. Badges you earn there (like ACTION Taker) are shown only to you.

Changing your listing. When you send us changes from your digiECOSYSTEM, we keep each one: what it was, what you asked for, when, and our decision with the reason, together with the words you agreed to when you sent it. Pictures you send stay private until we approve them. A person at Digi reviews every change before it goes live, and if we cannot approve one, we tell you why. Your requests are kept with your listing and deleted with it.

Passkeys. If you add a passkey (Face ID, a fingerprint or your phone's screen lock), we keep only its public key, a counter, the name you see for it, and when it was last used. Your face or fingerprint never leaves your phone; we never see it. Lost your phone? Contact us: after we check it is you, a person at Digi removes the passkey, and that is recorded in our records.

Inviting another business. Your invite link carries a short random code of yours, never your email. When a business signs up through it, we keep its email, that you invited it, and when we thanked you. You see the names of the businesses you brought only once they are live (their listings are public anyway); until then, a number. When someone opens your link, our form can show your business name so they know who sent them; that is on at first, and you can switch it off.

Things that use your business name or logo:

• Welcome post. When you are approved, we may welcome you on Digi's social media with your business name, logo and handle. Ask us and we take it down.
• digiLOCAL. Customers can make graphics that show your business name and logo, to recommend you. We never see what they make. Ask us and we switch it off for your business.
• digiNETWORK. Posts you make show your business name and city to other merchants. If you tap I can help on another merchant's post, and confirm, your name, business and email go to that merchant only.

Other merchant tools:

• digiCREATE and digiGAMEDAY make graphics on your own device. Nothing you make is sent to us.
• digiNIGHTS. When you say you are going, we keep your business name and whether you are bringing a +1. Nothing about your guest.

How long we keep it: while you are on Digi. If you leave, your listing comes off the app at our next update, and we keep your agreement records for 7 years in case either of us ever needs them. Ask us to delete anything else.

Closing your business. You can close your business from your digiECOSYSTEM (Settings), or pause your discount instead. Either is a message to us, and a person at Digi does it with you: we take your discount off digiFREE first, so no customer ever reaches your register with a code that no longer works, and then delete your account and what your digiECOSYSTEM kept: your sign-in, settings, alerts, invites, digiNIGHTS sign-ups and everything in digiNETWORK (your profile, connections, wall, every ask you posted and every reply you left). A private conversation stays with the other owner, as an email you sent them would. We keep only your agreement records, and the Release for any Value² episode still published, as section 9 says.

4. If you subscribe to Call to ACTION

What we collect: your name, email, business, whether you are a new entrepreneur, how you found us, and whether and about what you would like us to contact you.

Why: to put the monthly call on your calendar and, only if you asked, to contact you about what you picked.

When a friend joins through your link, you see their first name only if they tap Tell you they made it; otherwise you see a number, never a name. The same goes for you: if you join through a friend's link, your first name reaches them only if you tap it.

Calls you came to. A person on our team confirms who came to each call. We keep the date, your email, who confirmed it and when we thanked you; that is what your badges count.

• Confirming your email. To send us a message from our website, you confirm your email with a 6-digit code we send you. Like the sign-in code, it expires 10 minutes after we send it and is stored only in scrambled (hashed) form.
• We keep the conversation as a support record, so we can help you and follow up.

Your personalized share link. On our website you can ask for a link to invite a business you love. We confirm your email first, and then use your name and email only to send your link, thank you when a business you invited goes live, and answer you. Nothing else, ever.

• Your link carries a short random code, never your email or name.
• Your first name is shown to a business that opens your link only if you switch it on. It is off at first.
• What we keep: your code, your switch, and who you invited (the business's email, when, and when we thanked you). It is deleted when you delete your account (section 10) or ask us to.
• The thank-you is one message in your conversation and, if you are away, one email that only links you back to it.
• Your invites never count toward any merchant's rewards or badges.

Your pass (digiLOCAL, My Local). With your share link comes your pass and your city's board. You pick almost everything from tiles and switches; the one thing you may type is your board name.

• What we keep: the board name you pick or write (we ask you not to use your full name), your color, your switches, what leads your pass, the level picture you wear, and your title when you earn one.
• My Hometown, only if you pick it: the city and area code you choose from our list, and each hometown you had before with the day you picked it, so your points stay with the hometown you had when you earned them. We never fill it in from where you are, and it does not have to be where you live.
• Your points come only from what this section already lists (your posts Instagram shows us, and businesses that went live through your link) and the city each business is in. Nothing else.
• A name you write yourself is checked for words that are not allowed and shows right away. Our team sees new names, can change one that breaks the rules, and tells you why in your conversation. Anyone can report a name on the board or on your page: we keep that it was reported and when, never who reported it.
• Your photo, if you add one, stays on your phone. We never receive it. Your pass on your own screen shows it; your public pass and the board show your initials or your level picture.
• When you share a post from digiLOCAL, which businesses were on it, for 7 days, so your post can count once Instagram shows it to us.
• Your public Instagram posts that tag @digidiscounts (section 6): each post's link, when, and which businesses it supported. Never your caption, never your Instagram name.
• The board and your page are off at first. Switch on Show me on the board and your board name, color, title, picture (your initials or your level picture), this month's numbers, your points, your hometown and its area code, your stamps (the cities of the businesses you helped) and the businesses on your wall are public, on the board and on your own page. Never your email. Your first name greets you on your own page only, and only if you switch it on.
• Each city's numbers are public: the points earned by supporters while it was their hometown, and how many call it home now. They name no one who is not on the board.
• Your page tells a business who sent it. If a business joins from your page, it says your board name sent them, before they tap.
• Recognition, never prizes. Nothing is given away, sold or sponsored on it.
• Tell me when the app is ready: if you switch it on, one message in your conversation the day digiFREE is ready. Never anything else.
• You can delete it, with everything else, any time (section 10).

Booking a call or a Value² recording. You can book a call with us, or a Value² recording, only through a link we send you or, if you are a merchant, from your digiECOSYSTEM. Nothing about booking is public.

• What we keep: your name, email, business (if you give it), a note if you add one, the time you picked, and whether you moved or cancelled it.
• Value² recordings: before you can pick a time, you tick that you accept the Value² Guest Release. We keep which version you accepted and when.
• Setting it up: Microsoft puts the event on our calendar and sends you the invite; Zoom makes the meeting link (you join under Zoom's own policy). To find a time, we check only whether our own calendars are busy or free, never what is on them.
• Your invite has a link to move or cancel it. No account needed. We keep only a scrambled (hashed) copy of that link.
• A booking link we make for you works once and stops after 7 days. If we typed your name or email into it, they are kept with it.

6. If you comment on our social media

When you comment on Digi's own Facebook or Instagram posts, we read and answer it from our internal tool. We keep your public name or username and your comment. We do not look at or collect anything else from your profile. Delete your comment on the platform and it leaves our tool at our next check.

When a public Instagram post tags @digidiscounts, Instagram tells us about it. We read that one post once, to find a supporter link in it (digi-discounts.com/c/...), and keep only what section 5 lists for your pass. If there is no link, we keep nothing. Private accounts and stories never reach us.

7. If you visit our website

• No ad trackers and no third-party analytics.
• Hosting and security. Our website runs on Cloudflare, which handles technical information (like your IP address and browser) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots.
• Your device. Some pages save your progress in your browser (like a half-finished form) so you do not lose it. That stays on your device. The only cookie we set is the merchant sign-in cookie.
• Fonts. Served from our own site, not from Google.
• digiMAP. The map itself comes from OpenFreeMap, a free, open map service. It sees which part of the map is being looked at, not who you are. Your location is used only if you tap Near me, on your device, and is never sent to us.

8. Who we share information with

We never sell, rent or trade it. We share only with companies that run parts of Digi for us, only what they need, under their contracts with us:

We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

Sponsors never receive anyone's information.

9. How long we keep things

Backups. We copy our databases every night so nothing can be lost to an accident or an attack. Nightly copies are kept 35 days, and the copy from the 1st of each month 12 months; then they are deleted. When we delete something, it leaves our live systems immediately and our backup copies as they expire. If we ever have to restore a copy, everyone deleted since it was made is deleted from it again, as part of the restore.

10. Your choices

Anyone, anywhere, can ask us to:

• see what we hold about them
• correct it
• delete it

Email privacy@digi-discounts.com. We answer within 30 days. To protect you, we reply only to the email address we already have for you.

Delete it yourself. If you have a supporter card or a share link, open digiLOCAL, My Local, and tap Delete my account. We send a code to your email first, so nobody else can do it for you. Your pass, your board name, your hometowns, your link, every conversation with us you confirmed with your email, your Call to ACTION subscription, your sign-in and any email you sent us are deleted: your sign-in at once, the rest usually within minutes. If you have a call booked with us, cancel it first. Your Instagram posts stay on Instagram: they are yours to delete there. Merchants close their business from their digiECOSYSTEM (section 3).

When the law makes us keep something. If a court order or another legal request names someone, we keep what we hold about them, unchanged, until it no longer applies, and then delete it as they asked.

11. Children

digiFREE is rated for everyone (4+) and collects nothing from anyone, children included. Our merchant tools, Call to ACTION and digiMESSAGE are for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If a parent believes we have, email privacy@ and we delete it.

12. Keeping it safe

• Every connection to us is encrypted.
• Only Digi staff who need it can see merchant and support information, and they sign in with a second step.
• Sign-in codes and sessions are stored scrambled, never as the real thing.
• Every change our staff make to merchant records is logged with who made it and when.

No system is perfect. If something ever goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you.

13. Changes to this policy

When we change it, we post the new version here with a new number and date, and keep every past version, word for word, at the bottom of this page (Version history). If a change affects merchants in a meaningful way, we email them before it takes effect.

14. Contact

privacy@digi-discounts.com Digi Discounts LLC, New Jersey, USA

Pure Intentions.

The short version

• We do not sell, rent or trade anyone's information. Ever. No ads, no ad trackers, no data brokers.
• The digiFREE^® app collects nothing about you. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your savings and favorites live on your phone.
• Merchants: we keep what you give us so we can verify you, list your discount and support you. Your contact details are never published.
• We keep only what we need, we tell you why and for how long, and you can ask us to delete it: privacy@digi-discounts.com
• Sponsors never get your information. Not a list, not an email, not at any price.

The rest of this policy is the detail behind those five lines.

1. Who we are and what this covers

Digi Discounts LLC ("Digi", "we", "us") is a New Jersey company. This policy covers:

• the digiFREE^® app and digiFREE LITE
• digi-discounts.com, and our merchant tools at eco.digi-discounts.com: the merchant form, digiECOSYSTEM, digiNETWORK, digiCREATE, digiLOCAL, digiGAMEDAY and digiNIGHTS
• Call to ACTION, Value² and our support channels

It does not cover a merchant's own store, website or checkout, or any other company's site we link to. They have their own policies.

2. If you use digiFREE (customers)

What we collect: nothing that identifies you.

• No account, no sign-in. We do not know who you are.
• No ads, no analytics tools, no tracking inside the app.
• The discounts come to you, not the other way round. The app downloads one published list that is the same for everyone. Nothing about you is sent to get it.
• Your savings, favorites and visit history stay on your phone. We never see them. Delete the app and they are gone.
• Your location stays on your phone. The app uses it on your device to show what is near you and to notice when you are at a merchant. It is not sent to us.

Maps.

• iPhone: maps are Apple's (Apple Maps). Nothing is shared with us.
• Android: maps are Google's. Google's map may collect information from your device under Google's own policy. Digi collects nothing and Google shares nothing with us.

App stores. Apple and Google give us totals (installs, ratings) that do not identify anyone. If you write a public review, we read it and may reply publicly from our internal tool.

Inviting a business you love happens on our website, not in the app. If you ask for a personalized share link there, section 5 explains what we keep. The app itself still collects nothing.

digiFREE LITE runs inside some merchants' own websites or apps. We can see which websites it runs on, so a merchant knows it is working. We see nothing about the people using it.

3. If you are a merchant

What we collect, when you join or update your listing:

• Your business: name, where your discount can be used (your storefront address, or the areas you serve, and where you sell online), category, discount and levels, terms, codes, website, social links, review link, logo, photos and description.
• Your contact: name, role, email and phone, for each location's owner.
• Your agreement: that you accepted the digiMERCHANT Agreement, which version, and when, and each time you send us changes to your listing, that you agreed again; your answer about any franchise agreement.
• How you take payment: the point-of-sale or checkout system you use, only if you tell us.

Why: to verify you, publish your discount, keep your listing right, support you, and send you messages about your listing and account. Not marketing.

What is public, and what never is:

Signing in. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code we send you. The code expires in 10 minutes and we store it only in scrambled (hashed) form. Staying signed in uses one cookie on your device that lasts up to a year and renews when you use it. You can sign out, or sign out of every device, at any time. We never use text messages.

Notifications. They are off until you turn them on, on each phone. When you do, we keep the address your phone's browser makes for notifications, its two keys, a label like iPhone · Safari, and when it last reached you. You choose what rings (our replies to you, friends who join Call to ACTION from your link, changes to your listing), with a switch for each. The words are encrypted for your phone: your phone's notification service (Apple's, Google's or Mozilla's) carries them and cannot read them. A tap opens your own digiECOSYSTEM, never another website. Remove a phone at any time; signing out of a phone stops it ringing, and signing out of every device stops them all.

Your app settings. Your choices in your digiECOSYSTEM, like the three tiles on your opening screen and your notification switches, are kept with your sign-in so they follow you to any device. Badges you earn there (like ACTION Taker) are shown only to you.

Changing your listing. When you send us changes from your digiECOSYSTEM, we keep each one: what it was, what you asked for, when, and our decision with the reason, together with the words you agreed to when you sent it. Pictures you send stay private until we approve them. A person at Digi reviews every change before it goes live, and if we cannot approve one, we tell you why. Your requests are kept with your listing and deleted with it.

Passkeys. If you add a passkey (Face ID, a fingerprint or your phone's screen lock), we keep only its public key, a counter, the name you see for it, and when it was last used. Your face or fingerprint never leaves your phone; we never see it. Lost your phone? Contact us: after we check it is you, a person at Digi removes the passkey, and that is recorded in our records.

Inviting another business. Your invite link carries a short random code of yours, never your email. When a business signs up through it, we keep its email, that you invited it, and when we thanked you. You see the names of the businesses you brought only once they are live (their listings are public anyway); until then, a number. When someone opens your link, our form can show your business name so they know who sent them; that is on at first, and you can switch it off.

Things that use your business name or logo:

• Welcome post. When you are approved, we may welcome you on Digi's social media with your business name, logo and handle. Ask us and we take it down.
• digiLOCAL. Customers can make graphics that show your business name and logo, to recommend you. We never see what they make. Ask us and we switch it off for your business.
• digiNETWORK. Posts you make show your business name and city to other merchants. If you tap I can help on another merchant's post, and confirm, your name, business and email go to that merchant only.

Other merchant tools:

• digiCREATE and digiGAMEDAY make graphics on your own device. Nothing you make is sent to us.
• digiNIGHTS. When you say you are going, we keep your business name and whether you are bringing a +1. Nothing about your guest.

How long we keep it: while you are on Digi. If you leave, your listing comes off the app at our next update, and we keep your agreement records for 7 years in case either of us ever needs them. Ask us to delete anything else.

Closing your business. You can close your business from your digiECOSYSTEM (Settings), or pause your discount instead. Either is a message to us, and a person at Digi does it with you: we take your discount off digiFREE first, so no customer ever reaches your register with a code that no longer works, and then delete your account and what your digiECOSYSTEM kept: your sign-in, settings, alerts, invites, digiNIGHTS sign-ups and everything in digiNETWORK (your profile, connections, wall, every ask you posted and every reply you left). A private conversation stays with the other owner, as an email you sent them would. We keep only your agreement records, and the Release for any Value² episode still published, as section 9 says.

4. If you subscribe to Call to ACTION

What we collect: your name, email, business, whether you are a new entrepreneur, how you found us, and whether and about what you would like us to contact you.

Why: to put the monthly call on your calendar and, only if you asked, to contact you about what you picked.

• Never shared. Not with sponsors, not with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, not with anyone.
• The public counter on the page is a number. No names.
• Leave any time. Ask us and we remove you; merchants can also tap Leave the list in their digiECOSYSTEM. Ask us to erase you and we do.

From your digiECOSYSTEM (merchants). If you are signed in, you can join with one tap. We use the email you sign in with and the first name and business from your listing, and nothing else. We contact you only if you ask on the public sign-up.

Bringing a friend. Your Bring a friend link carries a short random code of yours (never your email), so we know who brought whom and can thank you. When a friend joins through your link, you see their first name only if they tap Tell you they made it; otherwise you see a number, never a name. The same goes for you: if you join through a friend's link, your first name reaches them only if you tap it.

Calls you came to. A person on our team confirms who came to each call. We keep the date, your email, who confirmed it and when we thanked you; that is what your badges count. If you tap Join now in your digiECOSYSTEM, we note it as a hint for our team, never as proof you came. We also keep what your badges last showed you, so only something new is celebrated.

How we count attendance. We count each call from Zoom's own attendance report. Our systems never store the names or emails in it: they are compared once, inside a single request, and only the totals are kept. So our numbers can be proven if anyone asks, we export Zoom's participant list (names, emails where Zoom has them, and join and leave times) and keep it offline, never shared or sold, and delete it after 24 months. Sponsors see totals only.

5. If you contact us

digiMESSAGE and email (support@, welcome@, privacy@):

• Confirming your email. To send us a message from our website, you confirm your email with a 6-digit code we send you. Like the sign-in code, it expires 10 minutes after we send it and is stored only in scrambled (hashed) form.
• We keep the conversation as a support record, so we can help you and follow up.
• Email stays in our Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Our staff read and answer it from our internal tool, which does not keep its own copy of the words.
• You can ask us to delete your conversation. We will, unless the law requires us to keep it.

Your personalized share link. On our website you can ask for a link to invite a business you love. We confirm your email first, and then use your name and email only to send your link, thank you when a business you invited goes live, and answer you. Nothing else, ever.

• Your link carries a short random code, never your email or name.
• Your first name is shown to a business that opens your link only if you switch it on. It is off at first.
• What we keep: your code, your switch, and who you invited (the business's email, when, and when we thanked you). It is deleted when you delete your account (section 10) or ask us to.
• The thank-you is one message in your conversation and, if you are away, one email that only links you back to it.
• Your invites never count toward any merchant's rewards or badges.

Your supporter card (digiLOCAL, My Local). With your share link comes a supporter card and your city's board. Nothing on it is typed: you pick from tiles and switches.

• What we keep: the name you pick for the board (never your real name), your color, your switches, and your title when you earn one.
• When you share a post from digiLOCAL, which businesses were on it, for 7 days, so your post can count once Instagram shows it to us.
• Your public Instagram posts that tag @digidiscounts (section 6): each post's link, when, and which businesses it supported. Never your caption, never your Instagram name.
• The board and your page are off at first. Switch on Show me on the board and your board name, color, title, this month's numbers, your city (where most of the businesses you supported are) and the businesses on your wall are public, on the board and on your own page. Never your email or your real name. Your first name greets you on your own page only, and only if you switch it on.
• Your page tells a business who sent it. If a business joins from your page, it says your board name sent them, before they tap.
• Recognition, never prizes. Nothing is given away, sold or sponsored on it.
• Tell me when the app is ready: if you switch it on, one message in your conversation the day digiFREE is ready. Never anything else.
• You can delete it, with everything else, any time (section 10).

Booking a call or a Value² recording. You can book a call with us, or a Value² recording, only through a link we send you or, if you are a merchant, from your digiECOSYSTEM. Nothing about booking is public.

• What we keep: your name, email, business (if you give it), a note if you add one, the time you picked, and whether you moved or cancelled it.
• Value² recordings: before you can pick a time, you tick that you accept the Value² Guest Release. We keep which version you accepted and when.
• Setting it up: Microsoft puts the event on our calendar and sends you the invite; Zoom makes the meeting link (you join under Zoom's own policy). To find a time, we check only whether our own calendars are busy or free, never what is on them.
• Your invite has a link to move or cancel it. No account needed. We keep only a scrambled (hashed) copy of that link.
• A booking link we make for you works once and stops after 7 days. If we typed your name or email into it, they are kept with it.

6. If you comment on our social media

When you comment on Digi's own Facebook or Instagram posts, we read and answer it from our internal tool. We keep your public name or username and your comment. We do not look at or collect anything else from your profile. Delete your comment on the platform and it leaves our tool at our next check.

When a public Instagram post tags @digidiscounts, Instagram tells us about it. We read that one post once, to find a supporter link in it (digi-discounts.com/c/...), and keep only what section 5 lists for your supporter card. If there is no link, we keep nothing. Private accounts and stories never reach us.

7. If you visit our website

• No ad trackers and no third-party analytics.
• Hosting and security. Our website runs on Cloudflare, which handles technical information (like your IP address and browser) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots.
• Your device. Some pages save your progress in your browser (like a half-finished form) so you do not lose it. That stays on your device. The only cookie we set is the merchant sign-in cookie.
• Fonts. Served from our own site, not from Google.
• digiMAP. The map itself comes from OpenFreeMap, a free, open map service. It sees which part of the map is being looked at, not who you are. Your location is used only if you tap Near me, on your device, and is never sent to us.

8. Who we share information with

We never sell, rent or trade it. We share only with companies that run parts of Digi for us, only what they need, under their contracts with us:

We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

Sponsors never receive anyone's information.

9. How long we keep things

Backups. We copy our databases every night so nothing can be lost to an accident or an attack. Nightly copies are kept 35 days, and the copy from the 1st of each month 12 months; then they are deleted. When we delete something, it leaves our live systems immediately and our backup copies as they expire. If we ever have to restore a copy, everyone deleted since it was made is deleted from it again, as part of the restore.

10. Your choices

Anyone, anywhere, can ask us to:

• see what we hold about them
• correct it
• delete it

Email privacy@digi-discounts.com. We answer within 30 days. To protect you, we reply only to the email address we already have for you.

Delete it yourself. If you have a supporter card or a share link, open digiLOCAL, My Local, and tap Delete my account. We send a code to your email first, so nobody else can do it for you. Your card, your board name, your link, every conversation with us you confirmed with your email, your Call to ACTION subscription, your sign-in and any email you sent us are deleted: your sign-in at once, the rest usually within minutes. If you have a call booked with us, cancel it first. Your Instagram posts stay on Instagram: they are yours to delete there. Merchants close their business from their digiECOSYSTEM (section 3).

When the law makes us keep something. If a court order or another legal request names someone, we keep what we hold about them, unchanged, until it no longer applies, and then delete it as they asked.

digiFREE is rated for everyone (4+) and collects nothing from anyone, children included. Our merchant tools, Call to ACTION and digiMESSAGE are for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If a parent believes we have, email privacy@ and we delete it.

• the digiFREE^® app and digiFREE LITE
• digi-discounts.com and the tools on it: the merchant form, digiECOSYSTEM, digiNETWORK, digiCREATE, digiLOCAL, digiGAMEDAY and digiNIGHTS
• Call to ACTION, Value² and our support channels

It does not cover a merchant's own store, website or checkout, or any other company's site we link to. They have their own policies.

App stores. Apple and Google give us totals (installs, ratings) that do not identify anyone. If you write a public review, we read it and may reply publicly from our internal tool.

3. If you are a merchant

What we collect, when you join or update your listing:

• Your business: name, where your discount can be used (your storefront address, or the areas you serve, and where you sell online), category, discount and levels, terms, codes, website, social links, review link, logo, photos and description.
• Your contact: name, role, email and phone, for each location's owner.
• Your agreement: that you accepted the digiMERCHANT Agreement, which version, and when, and each time you send us changes to your listing, that you agreed again; your answer about any franchise agreement.
• How you take payment: the point-of-sale or checkout system you use, only if you tell us.

Why: to verify you, publish your discount, keep your listing right, support you, and send you messages about your listing and account. Not marketing.

What is public, and what never is:

Signing in. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code we send you. The code expires in 10 minutes and we store it only in scrambled (hashed) form. Staying signed in uses one cookie on your device that lasts up to a year and renews when you use it. You can sign out, or sign out of every device, at any time. We never use text messages.

Notifications. They are off until you turn them on, on each phone. When you do, we keep the address your phone's browser makes for notifications, its two keys, a label like iPhone · Safari, and when it last reached you. You choose what rings (our replies to you, friends who join Call to ACTION from your link, changes to your listing), with a switch for each. The words are encrypted for your phone: your phone's notification service (Apple's, Google's or Mozilla's) carries them and cannot read them. A tap opens your own digiECOSYSTEM, never another website. Remove a phone at any time; signing out of a phone stops it ringing, and signing out of every device stops them all.

Your app settings. Your choices in your digiECOSYSTEM, like the three tiles on your opening screen and your notification switches, are kept with your sign-in so they follow you to any device. Badges you earn there (like ACTION Taker) are shown only to you.

Changing your listing. When you send us changes from your digiECOSYSTEM, we keep each one: what it was, what you asked for, when, and our decision with the reason, together with the words you agreed to when you sent it. Pictures you send stay private until we approve them. A person at Digi reviews every change before it goes live, and if we cannot approve one, we tell you why. Your requests are kept with your listing and deleted with it.

Passkeys. If you add a passkey (Face ID, a fingerprint or your phone's screen lock), we keep only its public key, a counter, the name you see for it, and when it was last used. Your face or fingerprint never leaves your phone; we never see it. Lost your phone? Contact us: after we check it is you, a person at Digi removes the passkey, and that is recorded in our records.

Inviting another business. Your invite link carries a short random code of yours, never your email. When a business signs up through it, we keep its email, that you invited it, and when we thanked you. You see the names of the businesses you brought only once they are live (their listings are public anyway); until then, a number. When someone opens your link, our form can show your business name so they know who sent them; that is on at first, and you can switch it off.

Things that use your business name or logo:

• Welcome post. When you are approved, we may welcome you on Digi's social media with your business name, logo and handle. Ask us and we take it down.
• digiLOCAL. Customers can make graphics that show your business name and logo, to recommend you. We never see what they make. Ask us and we switch it off for your business.
• digiNETWORK. Posts you make show your business name and city to other merchants. If you tap I can help on another merchant's post, and confirm, your name, business and email go to that merchant only.

Other merchant tools:

• digiCREATE and digiGAMEDAY make graphics on your own device. Nothing you make is sent to us.
• digiNIGHTS. When you say you are going, we keep your business name and whether you are bringing a +1. Nothing about your guest.

How long we keep it: while you are on Digi. If you leave, your listing comes off the app at our next update, and we keep your agreement records for 7 years in case either of us ever needs them. Ask us to delete anything else.

4. If you subscribe to Call to ACTION

What we collect: your name, email, business, whether you are a new entrepreneur, how you found us, and whether and about what you would like us to contact you.

Why: to put the monthly call on your calendar and, only if you asked, to contact you about what you picked.

• Never shared. Not with sponsors, not with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, not with anyone.
• The public counter on the page is a number. No names.
• Leave any time. Ask us and we remove you; merchants can also tap Leave the list in their digiECOSYSTEM. Ask us to erase you and we do.

From your digiECOSYSTEM (merchants). If you are signed in, you can join with one tap. We use the email you sign in with and the first name and business from your listing, and nothing else. We contact you only if you ask on the public sign-up.

Bringing a friend. Your Bring a friend link carries a short random code of yours (never your email), so we know who brought whom and can thank you. When a friend joins through your link, you see their first name only if they tap Tell you they made it; otherwise you see a number, never a name. The same goes for you: if you join through a friend's link, your first name reaches them only if you tap it.

Calls you came to. A person on our team confirms who came to each call. We keep the date, your email, who confirmed it and when we thanked you; that is what your badges count. If you tap Join now in your digiECOSYSTEM, we note it as a hint for our team, never as proof you came. We also keep what your badges last showed you, so only something new is celebrated.

How we count attendance. We count each call from Zoom's own attendance report. Our systems never store the names or emails in it: they are compared once, inside a single request, and only the totals are kept. So our numbers can be proven if anyone asks, we export Zoom's participant list (names, emails where Zoom has them, and join and leave times) and keep it offline, never shared or sold, and delete it after 24 months. Sponsors see totals only.

5. If you contact us

digiMESSAGE and email (support@, welcome@, privacy@):

• Confirming your email. To send us a message from our website, you confirm your email with a 6-digit code we send you. Like the sign-in code, it expires 10 minutes after we send it and is stored only in scrambled (hashed) form.
• We keep the conversation as a support record, so we can help you and follow up.
• Email stays in our Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Our staff read and answer it from our internal tool, which does not keep its own copy of the words.
• You can ask us to delete your conversation. We will, unless the law requires us to keep it.

Your personalized share link. On our website you can ask for a link to invite a business you love. We confirm your email first, and then use your name and email only to send your link, thank you when a business you invited goes live, and answer you. Nothing else, ever.

• Your link carries a short random code, never your email or name.
• Your first name is shown to a business that opens your link only if you switch it on. It is off at first.
• What we keep: your code, your switch, and who you invited (the business's email, when, and when we thanked you). It is deleted with your conversation.
• The thank-you is one message in your conversation and, if you are away, one email that only links you back to it.
• Your invites never count toward any merchant's rewards or badges.

Booking a call or a Value² recording. You can book a call with us, or a Value² recording, only through a link we send you or, if you are a merchant, from your digiECOSYSTEM. Nothing about booking is public.

• What we keep: your name, email, business (if you give it), a note if you add one, the time you picked, and whether you moved or cancelled it.
• Value² recordings: before you can pick a time, you tick that you accept the Value² Guest Release. We keep which version you accepted and when.
• Setting it up: Microsoft puts the event on our calendar and sends you the invite; Zoom makes the meeting link (you join under Zoom's own policy). To find a time, we check only whether our own calendars are busy or free, never what is on them.
• Your invite has a link to move or cancel it. No account needed. We keep only a scrambled (hashed) copy of that link.
• A booking link we make for you works once and stops after 7 days. If we typed your name or email into it, they are kept with it.

6. If you comment on our social media

When you comment on Digi's own Facebook or Instagram posts, we read and answer it from our internal tool. We keep your public name or username and your comment. We do not look at or collect anything else from your profile. Delete your comment on the platform and it leaves our tool at our next check.

7. If you visit our website

• No ad trackers and no third-party analytics.
• Hosting and security. Our website runs on Cloudflare, which handles technical information (like your IP address and browser) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots.
• Your device. Some pages save your progress in your browser (like a half-finished form) so you do not lose it. That stays on your device. The only cookie we set is the merchant sign-in cookie.
• Fonts. Served from our own site, not from Google.
• digiMAP. The map itself comes from OpenFreeMap, a free, open map service. It sees which part of the map is being looked at, not who you are. Your location is used only if you tap Near me, on your device, and is never sent to us.

8. Who we share information with

We never sell, rent or trade it. We share only with companies that run parts of Digi for us, only what they need, under their contracts with us:

We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

Sponsors never receive anyone's information.

9. How long we keep things

Backups. We copy our databases every night so nothing can be lost to an accident or an attack. When we delete something, it leaves our live systems immediately and our backup copies as they cycle out.

10. Your choices

Anyone, anywhere, can ask us to:

• see what we hold about them
• correct it
• delete it

Email privacy@digi-discounts.com. We answer within 30 days. To protect you, we reply only to the email address we already have for you.

11. Children

digiFREE is rated for everyone (4+) and collects nothing from anyone, children included. Our merchant tools, Call to ACTION and digiMESSAGE are for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If a parent believes we have, email privacy@ and we delete it.

12. Keeping it safe

• Every connection to us is encrypted.
• Only Digi staff who need it can see merchant and support information, and they sign in with a second step.
• Sign-in codes and sessions are stored scrambled, never as the real thing.
• Every change our staff make to merchant records is logged with who made it and when.

No system is perfect. If something ever goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you.

13. Changes to this policy

When we change it, we post the new version here with a new number and date, and keep every past version, word for word, at the bottom of this page (Version history). If a change affects merchants in a meaningful way, we email them before it takes effect.

14. Contact

privacy@digi-discounts.com Digi Discounts LLC, New Jersey, USA

Pure Intentions.

The short version

• We do not sell, rent or trade anyone's information. Ever. No ads, no ad trackers, no data brokers.
• The digiFREE^® app collects nothing about you. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your savings and favorites live on your phone.
• Merchants: we keep what you give us so we can verify you, list your discount and support you. Your contact details are never published.
• We keep only what we need, we tell you why and for how long, and you can ask us to delete it: privacy@digi-discounts.com
• Sponsors never get your information. Not a list, not an email, not at any price.

The rest of this policy is the detail behind those five lines.

1. Who we are and what this covers

Digi Discounts LLC ("Digi", "we", "us") is a New Jersey company. This policy covers:

• the digiFREE^® app and digiFREE LITE
• digi-discounts.com and the tools on it: the merchant form, digiECOSYSTEM, digiNETWORK, digiCREATE, digiLOCAL, digiGAMEDAY and digiNIGHTS
• Call to ACTION, Value² and our support channels

It does not cover a merchant's own store, website or checkout, or any other company's site we link to. They have their own policies.

2. If you use digiFREE (customers)

What we collect: nothing that identifies you.

• No account, no sign-in. We do not know who you are.
• No ads, no analytics tools, no tracking inside the app.
• The discounts come to you, not the other way round. The app downloads one published list that is the same for everyone. Nothing about you is sent to get it.
• Your savings, favorites and visit history stay on your phone. We never see them. Delete the app and they are gone.
• Your location stays on your phone. The app uses it on your device to show what is near you and to notice when you are at a merchant. It is not sent to us.

Maps.

• iPhone: maps are Apple's (Apple Maps). Nothing is shared with us.
• Android: maps are Google's. Google's map may collect information from your device under Google's own policy. Digi collects nothing and Google shares nothing with us.

App stores. Apple and Google give us totals (installs, ratings) that do not identify anyone. If you write a public review, we read it and may reply publicly from our internal tool.

Inviting a business you love happens on our website, not in the app. If you ask for a personalized share link there, section 5 explains what we keep. The app itself still collects nothing.

digiFREE LITE runs inside some merchants' own websites or apps. We can see which websites it runs on, so a merchant knows it is working. We see nothing about the people using it.

3. If you are a merchant

What we collect, when you join or update your listing:

• Your business: name, where your discount can be used (your storefront address, or the areas you serve, and where you sell online), category, discount and levels, terms, codes, website, social links, review link, logo, photos and description.
• Your contact: name, role, email and phone, for each location's owner.
• Your agreement: that you accepted the digiMERCHANT Agreement, which version, and when, and each time you send us changes to your listing, that you agreed again; your answer about any franchise agreement.
• How you take payment: the point-of-sale or checkout system you use, only if you tell us.

Why: to verify you, publish your discount, keep your listing right, support you, and send you messages about your listing and account. Not marketing.

What is public, and what never is:

Signing in. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code we send you. The code expires in 10 minutes and we store it only in scrambled (hashed) form. Staying signed in uses one cookie on your device that lasts up to a year and renews when you use it. You can sign out, or sign out of every device, at any time. We never use text messages.

Notifications. They are off until you turn them on, on each phone. When you do, we keep the address your phone's browser makes for notifications, its two keys, a label like iPhone · Safari, and when it last reached you. You choose what rings (our replies to you, friends who join Call to ACTION from your link, changes to your listing), with a switch for each. The words are encrypted for your phone: your phone's notification service (Apple's, Google's or Mozilla's) carries them and cannot read them. A tap opens your own digiECOSYSTEM, never another website. Remove a phone at any time; signing out of a phone stops it ringing, and signing out of every device stops them all.

Your app settings. Your choices in your digiECOSYSTEM, like the three tiles on your opening screen and your notification switches, are kept with your sign-in so they follow you to any device. Badges you earn there (like ACTION Taker) are shown only to you.

Changing your listing. When you send us changes from your digiECOSYSTEM, we keep each one: what it was, what you asked for, when, and our decision with the reason, together with the words you agreed to when you sent it. Pictures you send stay private until we approve them. A person at Digi reviews every change before it goes live, and if we cannot approve one, we tell you why. Your requests are kept with your listing and deleted with it.

Passkeys. If you add a passkey (Face ID, a fingerprint or your phone's screen lock), we keep only its public key, a counter, the name you see for it, and when it was last used. Your face or fingerprint never leaves your phone; we never see it. Lost your phone? Contact us: after we check it is you, a person at Digi removes the passkey, and that is recorded in our records.

Inviting another business. Your invite link carries a short random code of yours, never your email. When a business signs up through it, we keep its email, that you invited it, and when we thanked you. You see the names of the businesses you brought only once they are live (their listings are public anyway); until then, a number. When someone opens your link, our form can show your business name so they know who sent them; that is on at first, and you can switch it off.

• digiNETWORK. Posts you make show your business name and city to other merchants. If you tap I can help on another merchant's post, and confirm, your name, business and email go to that merchant only.

Other merchant tools:

• digiCREATE and digiGAMEDAY make graphics on your own device. Nothing you make is sent to us.
• digiNIGHTS. When you say you are going, we keep your business name and whether you are bringing a +1. Nothing about your guest.
• Share Package. If we mail you a door sticker kit, we use your mailing address to ship it.

How long we keep it: while you are on Digi. If you leave, your listing comes off the app at our next update, and we keep your agreement records for 7 years in case either of us ever needs them. Ask us to delete anything else.

When we change it, we post the new version here with a new number and date, and keep every past version, word for word, at the bottom of this page (Version history). If a change affects merchants in a meaningful way, we email them before it takes effect.

Pure Intentions.

The short version

• We do not sell, rent or trade anyone's information. Ever. No ads, no ad trackers, no data brokers.
• The digiFREE^® app collects nothing about you. No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your savings and favorites live on your phone.
• Merchants: we keep what you give us so we can verify you, list your discount and support you. Your contact details are never published.
• We keep only what we need, we tell you why and for how long, and you can ask us to delete it: privacy@digi-discounts.com
• Sponsors never get your information. Not a list, not an email, not at any price.

The rest of this policy is the detail behind those five lines.

1. Who we are and what this covers

Digi Discounts LLC ("Digi", "we", "us") is a New Jersey company. This policy covers:

• the digiFREE^® app and digiFREE LITE
• digi-discounts.com and the tools on it: the merchant form, digiECOSYSTEM, digiNETWORK, digiCREATE, digiLOCAL, digiGAMEDAY and digiNIGHTS
• Call to ACTION, Value² and our support channels

It does not cover a merchant's own store, website or checkout, or any other company's site we link to. They have their own policies.

2. If you use digiFREE (customers)

What we collect: nothing that identifies you.

• No account, no sign-in. We do not know who you are.
• No ads, no analytics tools, no tracking inside the app.
• The discounts come to you, not the other way round. The app downloads one published list that is the same for everyone. Nothing about you is sent to get it.
• Your savings, favorites and visit history stay on your phone. We never see them. Delete the app and they are gone.
• Your location stays on your phone. The app uses it on your device to show what is near you and to notice when you are at a merchant. It is not sent to us.

Maps.

• iPhone: maps are Apple's (Apple Maps). Nothing is shared with us.
• Android: maps are Google's. Google's map may collect information from your device under Google's own policy. Digi collects nothing and Google shares nothing with us.

App stores. Apple and Google give us totals (installs, ratings) that do not identify anyone. If you write a public review, we read it and may reply publicly from our internal tool.

digiFREE LITE runs inside some merchants' own websites or apps. We can see which websites it runs on, so a merchant knows it is working. We see nothing about the people using it.

3. If you are a merchant

What we collect, when you join or update your listing:

• Your business: name, where your discount can be used (your storefront address, or the areas you serve, and where you sell online), category, discount and levels, terms, codes, website, social links, review link, logo, photos and description.
• Your contact: name, role, email and phone, for each location's owner.
• Your agreement: that you accepted the digiMERCHANT Agreement, which version, and when; your answer about any franchise agreement.
• How you take payment: the point-of-sale or checkout system you use, only if you tell us.

Why: to verify you, publish your discount, keep your listing right, support you, and send you messages about your listing and account. Not marketing.

What is public, and what never is:

Signing in. You sign in with your email and a 6-digit code we send you. The code expires in 10 minutes and we store it only in scrambled (hashed) form. Staying signed in uses one cookie on your device that lasts up to a year and renews when you use it. You can sign out, or sign out of every device, at any time. We never use text messages.

Things that use your business name or logo:

• Welcome post. When you are approved, we may welcome you on Digi's social media with your business name, logo and handle. Ask us and we take it down.
• digiLOCAL. Customers can make graphics that show your business name and logo, to recommend you. We never see what they make. Ask us and we switch it off for your business.
• digiNETWORK. Posts you make show your business name and city to other merchants. If you tap I can help on another merchant's post, and confirm, your name, business and email go to that merchant only.

Other merchant tools:

• digiCREATE and digiGAMEDAY make graphics on your own device. Nothing you make is sent to us.
• digiNIGHTS. When you say you are going, we keep your business name and whether you are bringing a +1. Nothing about your guest.
• Share Package. If we mail you a door sticker kit, we use your mailing address to ship it.

How long we keep it: while you are on Digi. If you leave, your listing comes off the app at our next update, and we keep your agreement records for 7 years in case either of us ever needs them. Ask us to delete anything else.

4. If you subscribe to Call to ACTION

What we collect: your name, email, business, whether you are a new entrepreneur, how you found us, and whether and about what you would like us to contact you.

Why: to put the monthly call on your calendar and, only if you asked, to contact you about what you picked.

• Never shared. Not with sponsors, not with the Ohio Chamber of Commerce, not with anyone.
• The public counter on the page is a number. No names.
• Leave any time. Ask us and we remove you; ask us to erase you and we do.

5. If you contact us

digiMESSAGE and email (support@, welcome@, privacy@):

• We keep the conversation as a support record, so we can help you and follow up.
• Email stays in our Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Our staff read and answer it from our internal tool, which does not keep its own copy of the words.
• You can ask us to delete your conversation. We will, unless the law requires us to keep it.

6. If you comment on our social media

When you comment on Digi's own Facebook or Instagram posts, we read and answer it from our internal tool. We keep your public name or username and your comment. We do not look at or collect anything else from your profile. Delete your comment on the platform and it leaves our tool at our next check.

7. If you visit our website

• No ad trackers and no third-party analytics.
• Hosting and security. Our website runs on Cloudflare, which handles technical information (like your IP address and browser) to deliver the site and protect it from attacks. Our forms use Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots.
• Your device. Some pages save your progress in your browser (like a half-finished form) so you do not lose it. That stays on your device. The only cookie we set is the merchant sign-in cookie.
• Fonts. Served from our own site, not from Google.
• digiMAP. The map itself comes from OpenFreeMap, a free, open map service. It sees which part of the map is being looked at, not who you are. Your location is used only if you tap Near me, on your device, and is never sent to us.

8. Who we share information with

We never sell, rent or trade it. We share only with companies that run parts of Digi for us, only what they need, under their contracts with us:

We may also share information when the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.

Sponsors never receive anyone's information.

9. How long we keep things

Backups. We copy our databases every night so nothing can be lost to an accident or an attack. When we delete something, it leaves our live systems immediately and our backup copies as they cycle out.

10. Your choices

Anyone, anywhere, can ask us to:

• see what we hold about them
• correct it
• delete it

Email privacy@digi-discounts.com. We answer within 30 days. To protect you, we reply only to the email address we already have for you.

11. Children

digiFREE is rated for everyone (4+) and collects nothing from anyone, children included. Our merchant tools, Call to ACTION and digiMESSAGE are for adults (18+). We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If a parent believes we have, email privacy@ and we delete it.

12. Keeping it safe

• Every connection to us is encrypted.
• Only Digi staff who need it can see merchant and support information, and they sign in with a second step.
• Sign-in codes and sessions are stored scrambled, never as the real thing.
• Every change our staff make to merchant records is logged with who made it and when.

No system is perfect. If something ever goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you.

13. Changes to this policy

When we change it, we post the new version here with a new number and date, and keep every past version at its own address. If a change affects merchants in a meaningful way, we email them before it takes effect.

Past versions are kept and available on request.
