DBOT Inc. Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 05, 2025

Last Updated: October 09, 2025

1. Our Privacy Philosophy: The DBOT Promise

At DBOT, we believe in radical transparency. We use your data for one reason: to save you money and time. No hidden agendas, no data sales. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why we collect it, and how it's used to connect you with legitimate deals from real businesses.

Our core principles are simple:

You Are in Control: You decide what you share, and you can change your mind at any time.
Data for Deals, Period: We analyze patterns to find you deals, not to sell your information.
Security is Paramount: We protect your data with industry-leading security measures.

By using DBOT, you acknowledge you've read and consent to this policy.

2. Age Requirements & Content Filtering

To protect our community, we enforce strict age guidelines.

Minimum Age: All users must be at least 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn a user is under 13, we will terminate the account and delete all data immediately.
Users 13-20: Content is automatically filtered to exclude alcohol, cannabis, gambling, and other adult-oriented venues or products.
Users 21+: Have access to the full, unfiltered marketplace, including age-restricted deals and venues, upon age verification.

3. Information We Collect

With your explicit consent, we collect the following types of information to power your recommendations:

Personal Information You Provide:

Name & Email Address: To create and manage your account.
Date of Birth: For mandatory age verification and content filtering.

4. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used for three primary purposes, always with your permission:

To Personalize Your Deals:

Match you with exclusive, verified deals from our partners.
Predict and recommend products, services, and events you'll love.
Alert you to price drops on items you're tracking.

Our AI can detect patterns that may indicate a financial emergency to proactively offer resources, assistance programs, and essential deals during difficult times.

To Improve Our Service:

Enhance our AI's accuracy to improve deal relevance and timing.
Analyze user patterns to develop new, helpful features.

5. Data Sharing: What We Do and Don't Do

This is critical. We are extremely protective of your data.

What We MAY Share with Deal Partners:

Anonymized, aggregate data only. For example, "20% of users in this neighborhood are interested in Italian food this week."
General demographic trends and product demand signals.

What We WILL NEVER Do:

NEVER sell your personal information to anyone.
NEVER share your individual browsing or search history.
NEVER provide partners with your name, email, or other identifiable data.
NEVER allow third-party trackers or behavioral advertising on our platform.

We may only disclose personal information if required by law, such as in response to a court order.
