TopLaptopDeals values your privacy and is committed to safeguarding and preserving it when using our website and when communicating electronically with us.
This privacy policy sets out the type of information we collect from you when you visit the site and what we do with it. By using TopLaptopDeals, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by the terms of this privacy policy and our website terms of use.

1. Information we collect
TopLaptopDeals collects two types of information about the visitors to our Site: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
1.1 Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information is information that identifies a specific Visitor of the Site. This includes things like your first name, last name, email address etc. We ask you to provide this information when signing up to our mailing list, completing our feedback form on the Contact page, and when contacting us via email. We’ll store and use this information to respond to your feedback or queries, or to send you periodic emails if you signed up to our mailing list (which you may unsubscribe to anytime).
1.2 Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-Personally-identifiable information is anonymous and does not identify a Visitor of the Site. This includes things like the address of the website you visited before coming to our Site, the address of the website you visit after you leave our Site, the type of web browser you’re using, the domain name of your Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) and your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address (which is a unique number that is dynamically assigned to each computer on the Internet by the visitor’s ISP).
Our website automatically recognises and collects some, or all of this information each time you visit the Site, none of which is personally-identifiable.
1.3 Cookies
1.3.1. First Party Cookies
Our site also uses the standard ‘cookies’ feature of most major web browsers. This allows us to store a small text file on your PC, containing anonymous information about your visit, like which pages you viewed and what links you clicked on. This information helps us provide a better experience for our Visitors, by identifying which areas of our site are useful and which areas would benefit from improvement.
Cookies also allow us to save site preferences to your computer – like your country location for example. This enables us to customize your experience with the Website – for example by displaying local deals that are specific to your geographic location.
1.3.2. Third Party Cookies
The third party retailers and merchants that we link to from this site may also place one or more cookies on your computer. This occurs when you click the ‘view deal’ affiliate link on an offer and are taken to the merchant’s website. This cookie tells the merchant that you came to their website through us, and enables us to earn a small commission for the referral if you make a purchase (at no additional cost to you). For more information regarding our referral commissions, please see our Affiliate Disclaimer.
Please note that we have no control over the cookies, website content or privacy practices of the affiliate merchants we link to, so it is your responsibility to review the policies at those websites to confirm that you understand and agree with them.
Our Site may also display promotions and advertisements from third party companies, which may also contain cookies. We have no access to or control over these cookies and the information collected therein.
By default, most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser settings to decline them. Please note that disabling cookies may have a negative impact on your experience at our Site and certain features may not work as intended.
