Privacy
Aardvark Holdings Inc. (“Aardvark,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how Aardvark Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, collects, uses, and shares information when you use our web app, browser extension, or any related services (“Service”), including what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights.

Aardvark believes ads should be helpful, not intrusive. If you enable Personalized Ads, we use your activity on Aardvark—such as creators you follow, deals you click, and stores you visit—to make ads and content more relevant to you.
We may also use limited data from trusted partners (like a creator's newsletter list or a brand's website pixel) to show exclusive deals or promotions aligned with your interests. For example, if a creator you follow uploads a coffee brand deal, and that brand also runs a promotion for previous site visitors, you may see the same deal if both share data with us.
You can manage ad-related settings anytime in Account Settings → Privacy & Security:
Some partners (like Google or Meta) may show ads on Aardvark's behalf on other sites. These platforms use their own personalization systems governed by their privacy policies. You can opt out of interest-based ads from other companies through:
You'll still see ads on Aardvark, but they may be less relevant to your interests. Your data will still be used to ensure core platform functions (e.g., billing, logins, and fraud detection).
We only share your information with trusted third parties:
All partners are required to meet strict data privacy and security obligations.
Aardvark may contain links to third-party websites or stores. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.
We keep your personal data only as long as needed to provide Aardvark's services and comply with legal obligations. If you delete your account, we will remove or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe (usually within 30 days).
We use encryption, secure access controls, and regular audits to protect your information. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights or freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable laws.
Aardvark is based in the United States. If you access our services from outside the U.S., your data may be transferred and processed in countries that may not have the same data protection laws as your country of residence. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

If Aardvark is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are significant, we will notify you via email or an in-app alert. The latest version will always be available at joinaardvark.com/privacy.
