Privacy Policy | ShoppinMagic

1. Introduction

ShoppinMagic is an affiliate marketplace and product discovery platform. We do not sell, stock, or ship any products. When you click a product link on our site, you are redirected to an external merchant (such as Amazon, Temu, or AliExpress) that handles the entire transaction.

By using this website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

IP address — used for security, analytics, and approximate regional content.
Browser type and version — to optimize compatibility and performance.
Device type and operating system — to deliver a mobile-friendly or desktop-friendly experience.
Pages visited and time spent — to understand which products and guides are most useful.
Click behavior — including outbound clicks on affiliate links and buttons, used to attribute commissions and improve recommendations.
Referral source — the site or search engine that brought you here.
Information you provide voluntarily — your email address when subscribing to our newsletter, and any details submitted through our contact or seller application forms.

3. How We Use Your Information

Improving site performance — faster load times, better layouts, fewer broken experiences.
Personalizing content — showing categories, deals, and products more relevant to your interests.
Serving ads — including personalized advertising through Google AdSense and its partners.
Tracking affiliate conversions — so merchants and affiliate networks can credit us when a purchase is made through our links.
Communicating with you — sending our newsletter (only if you subscribe) and responding to your messages.
Security and fraud prevention.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

This website displays ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising vendors. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites. The DART cookie does not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email, or address.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at Google's "Privacy & Terms" page (policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites), and you can view the list of AdSense-certified third-party vendors at support.google.com/adsense.

5. How to Opt Out of Personalized Advertising

If you opt out, you will still see ads — they simply won't be personalized based on your browsing behavior.

Google Ads Settings — visit adssettings.google.com to turn off ad personalization from Google.
AboutAds — visit www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of personalized ads from many participating third-party ad networks at once.
Network Advertising Initiative — visit optout.networkadvertising.org to manage preferences across NAI member companies.
Mobile apps — use the DAA's AppChoices tool to control personalized advertising in apps.
Browser controls — block or delete cookies in your browser settings; you can also enable "Do Not Track", though not all services honor it.
On this site — use the cookie consent banner (shown on your first visit) to accept, limit to essential cookies, or decline. You can reset your choice by clearing this site's stored data in your browser.

6. Analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are popular, how long visits last, and where traffic comes from. Google Analytics sets cookies and may process your IP address (we enable IP anonymization where available).

You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing Google's official opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

7. Affiliate Links, Tracking Pixels & Conversion Tracking

Our pages contain affiliate links. When you click one, the merchant or affiliate network may place a cookie or use a tracking pixel (a tiny invisible image) to record that you arrived from ShoppinMagic. If you make a purchase within the network's attribution window, that cookie allows us to be credited with a commission.

This tracking is governed by the privacy policies of the respective affiliate networks and merchants, including Amazon Associates, Temu Affiliate, AliExpress Affiliate, CJ Affiliate, Impact, and ShareASale. We do not receive your payment details or full order information — typically only an anonymized record that a qualifying purchase occurred.

8. Third-Party Vendors & Links

Our website links to third-party merchants and uses third-party services (advertising, analytics, email delivery). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.

9. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal information (such as newsletter emails and contact form messages) only as long as needed for the purposes described above, after which it is deleted. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
