- Last updated
In short
- Changed on October 25, 2026: we added the Meta Pixel, an advertising tool of Meta, to trovemont.com, with the events it reports, such as the links to stores you follow and the codes you copy. The points below and sections 3.5, 5, 6.5, 12 and 13 explain it, and how to opt out.
- Trovemont is published by Star Dream LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. You can read the whole site without an account, and nothing is sold on it.
- We never store your IP address. When you follow a paid link to a store, and as you use our pages, we keep a one-way code computed from it that changes every day.
- Our own measurement of how the site is used sets no cookie and stores nothing in your browser. After 90 days, we remove the daily code and the other details that could link a record to you.
- The Meta Pixel sends Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, the pages you view and the buttons you click on trovemont.com, and what you do there, such as following a link to a store, copying a code, searching, reading or sharing a page, with your IP address and the identifiers in its cookies. We send Meta no name, email address or phone number. We use it to measure our ads on Facebook and Instagram and to show them to people who visited our site. Under California law, this is "sharing" of personal information, and it may also be considered a "sale." Other state laws call it targeted advertising.
- To opt out, turn the Meta Pixel off in Cookie settings, or use Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. Both are at the bottom of every page and open the same panel. A Global Privacy Control signal from your browser opts you out too. If your browser is set to a European time zone (section 3.5), the pixel stays off unless you switch it on.
- If you write to us, we use your name, email address and message to answer you. We run no mailing list and send no marketing email.
- Apart from the Meta Pixel, we do not sell or share your personal information, and we do not use it to profile you.
- Questions and requests: contact@trovemont.com.
1. Who we are and what this policy covers
Trovemont, the website at trovemont.com, is published by Star Dream LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("we," "us"). We decide why and how the personal information described in this policy is used. Privacy laws call this role the "business" or the "controller." Meta Platforms, Inc. decides how it uses, for its own purposes, the information it receives through the Meta Pixel (section 3.5).

This policy applies to trovemont.com and to the messages you send us. It does not apply to the stores, affiliate programs and other websites our pages link to. Their own policies apply there (section 7).
In this policy, "personal information" means information that identifies you, or that can reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you or to your device. Information that has been de-identified as section 9 describes is not personal information.
This policy is effective as of the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page.

3. The information we collect
3.1 When you follow a paid link to a store
A paid link to a store first goes to a short redirect on our own site, at an address that begins with /go/. Our server finds the store's address, records the click and sends you on. It sets no cookie.
Each click record contains these fields, and no others:
- Offer and store: the offer, the store, or both, that the link was for.
- Page: the page of our site where you clicked, without the part of its address that follows a question mark.
- Place on the page: the kind of link you used, for example the main button of a store page, an offer card or a link inside a guide.
- IP code: a one-way code computed from your IP address, explained below. Never the address itself.
- User agent: the line of text your browser sends to every website, which names the browser, its version and the operating system. We keep up to 512 characters of it.
- Where you came from: for one of our pages, its path only. If you reached the link from another website, that website's address without the page (for example
https://www.google.com). - Country: a two-letter country code, which our host derives from your connection. Nothing more precise.
- Robot flag: whether the user agent names a known robot or link preview service, so that our reports can leave those clicks out.
- Date and time of the click.
How the IP code works. When you click, our server reads your IP address from the request. It combines the address with the current date, in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and with a secret key kept on our server. It then runs the result through SHA-256, a one-way function. Only the 64-character result is saved. Your IP address is not saved in our database, and the database refuses any value that is not such a result.
Because the date is part of the calculation, the same connection produces a different code every day. On a given day, two clicks with the same code probably came from the same connection, which lets us count distinct visitors per offer. Codes from different days cannot be matched with one another, and a code does not reveal the address. Someone who held both an IP address and our secret key could still compute the code of that address for a given day and look for it. That is why we treat these codes as personal information, keep the key apart from the database and protect it (sections 10 and 11).
3.2 How the site measures its own pages
To learn which pages, stores and codes are useful, and to fix or remove the ones that are not, a script of our own reports what happens on our pages to our own server. It sets no cookie and stores nothing in your browser: no cookie, no local storage, no session storage. It does not run on our editors' private previews, and our server ignores browsers that identify themselves as robots.
| Event | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Page view | The page address, without the part that follows a question mark; whether the page was found; whether it was the first page of your visit; the kind of source you came from and its domain alone (a search engine, a social network, an AI assistant, an email service or another website), or, for one of our pages, its kind; campaign tags, when the link carried them; and, when you arrived from an ad, the name of the ad platform, never the ad's click identifier |
| Time on the page | How long the page was open in front of you and in use, how far down you scrolled and, on a guide, whether you reached a quarter, half, three quarters or all of its text |
| Link clicked | Where a link on our pages led (a category, a store, a guide, or the domain of another website) and where on the page it was (the menu, a card, a section) |
| Offers shown and store links clicked | Which offers and store links appeared on your screen, which ones you clicked and where they were (for example the offer bar or a carousel), and your use of a carousel's buttons |
| Code copied | The coupon code you copied, its offer and store, and where on the page it was |
| Search | The words you searched or typed in a search box, once you stop typing, the number of results or suggestions, and the suggestion you picked and its position. Words containing an @ or a run of seven or more digits are never stored: the search is counted without its words. |
| Cookie settings | Whether you switched Google Analytics on or off, and nothing else |
Each page view is identified by a random number that exists only while the page is open, and so is each visit, by a second random number. To count visitors, our server combines your IP address, your browser's user agent and the current UTC date, with the same secret key, into a one-way code, and stores only that code, with your type of device (phone, tablet or computer) and your country. Your IP address and user agent are never stored with these events. Our reports use the daily code to group pages viewed less than 30 minutes apart into one visit. The same visitor cannot be recognized from one day to the next.
Separately, our server counts visits from automated crawlers that name themselves, such as those of search engines and AI assistants, by hour, by crawler and by page. These counts contain no information about people.
3.3 When you open any page
Our host. Trovemont is hosted by Vercel Inc. To deliver each page, Vercel's servers receive the technical data of your request: your IP address, your browser's user agent, the address of the page requested and the time. Vercel keeps request logs for a limited time, under its own policy. We use them only to run the site and keep it secure.
Search terms in page addresses. When you search on our site, your words become part of the page address (for example /search?q=…). Our host's request logs therefore contain them, and so does the page address that the Meta Pixel sends to Meta (section 3.5). Our code also reports your search words to Meta as an event, unless they look like an email address or a phone number (section 3.5).
Our own measurement keeps them only under the rules of section 3.2.
Images. Every image on our pages, including product photographs, is delivered from our own domain, trovemont.com. Product photographs are copies kept in our own storage, so viewing them does not connect your browser to a store's servers. An image may offer a link to the original photograph. If you follow it, your browser opens that file where the store keeps it, like any other link to another website.
Your choices. If you use the light or dark switch, or Cookie settings, your browser remembers your choice in its local storage. It is never sent to us or to anyone else (section 5).
3.4 Google Analytics
Google Analytics is not active on this site: no Google script loads, no request goes to Google and no Google cookie is set. It can only start if it is configured when the site is built. This section will then describe what it does. Cookie settings, at the bottom of every page, already records your choice for when it is.
3.5 The Meta Pixel
We use the Meta Pixel, a tool of Meta Platforms, Inc. ("Meta"), the company behind Facebook and Instagram. It runs only on the pages of trovemont.com and www.trovemont.com. It never runs on other copies of the site, or on the pages our editors use to preview drafts. Since October 25, 2026, we use it for two things:
- to measure and improve our own ads on Facebook and Instagram;
- to build audiences of people who visited our site, so that our ads can be shown to them on Facebook and Instagram.
This is advertising based on your activity on our site. Privacy laws call it "cross-context behavioral advertising" or "targeted advertising" (section 6.5).
What our code does. It starts the pixel with Meta's standard code and reports a page view. We left Meta's automatic configuration on, so Meta's script can also record the buttons you click and information that describes the page, such as its title. Meta calls these "automatic events." Meta's script also reports a page view each time you move to another page of our site. We do not use Meta's advanced matching: we send Meta no name, no email address and no phone number.
The events our code reports. Our code also tells Meta when you take one of the actions below, with the details listed for it. Apart from your search words, a detail is always something our site itself shows or uses: a store's "slug," which is the short name that identifies it in our page addresses (for example, 8belle-usa), the name of a store or the title of an article as we publish it, the slug of a category, a coupon code we publish, a number, or one of our own labels.
- Opening a store's page, where its guide is published ("ViewContent"): the store's slug, its name and the slug of its main category.
- Opening a product page ("ViewContent"): only that it is a product page.
- Opening an article of our journal ("ViewArticle"): its slug, its title and the slug of its main category.
- Opening a category page ("ViewCategory"): the category's slug.
- Opening the deals page ("ViewDeals"): no detail.
- Searching our site ("Search"): the words you searched for, in lower case and up to 80 characters, unless they contain an "@" or a run of seven or more digits, with or without spaces, dots, dashes, slashes or parentheses between them, as an email address or a phone number would. Our code then reports only that you searched. The address of the results page, which Meta's script receives on its own, still contains the words (section 3.3).
- Choosing a suggestion under a search box ("SearchSuggestClick"): the kind of suggestion you picked, such as a store, its code or a category, but not which one.
- Following one of our links to a store ("OutboundClick"): where the link was on our page, such as the top of a guide or the list of deals, and, when our page identifies the store, the store's slug.
- Copying a coupon code ("CopyCode"): where the code was on our page and, when our page identifies the store, the store's slug and the code.
- Reading a guide or an article ("ReadProgress"): when you reach 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent of its text, that percentage.
- Spending time on a page ("EngagedReader"): once you have spent 30 seconds on a page while it is on your screen and in use, the number 30. Our code stops counting one minute after your last scroll, click, tap or key press.
- Sharing a page with our share buttons ("Share"): the network or method you chose, which is Facebook, Pinterest, X, Threads, WhatsApp, Reddit, email, "Copy link," or your device's own share menu when it reports a share.
- Following a link to one of Trovemont's own social media profiles ("FollowClick"): the network.
- Sending a message from our contact page ("Contact"): only the fact that a message was sent. Your message, your name, your email address and the other details you give never go to Meta.
Our code reports each action once when it happens, and only while the pixel runs in your browser, under the rules set out below.
Health and wellness pages. Health & Wellness and Vitamins & Supplements are the categories our site uses for health products. On the page of a store filed under either of them or under one of their sub-categories, on the pages of those categories and of their sub-categories, on an article filed under any of them or covering such a store, and on any page whose category our code cannot confirm, the events above carry no slug, name or category of a store, product, article or category, and no coupon code. Elsewhere, a click or a copy names its store only when our page identifies the store and the store is not filed under those categories. We do not use these events to draw any conclusion about anyone's health. Meta's script itself still receives the address of every page, which contains the slug of the store, the article or the category, and, through its automatic configuration, the page's title and other information that describes it.
What Meta receives. When the pixel runs in your browser, Meta receives:
- the address of the page, including any search terms in it, and the address of the page that sent you;
- the page's title and other information that describes it, and the buttons you click;
- the events our code reports, with their details, as listed above;
- the time;
- your IP address;
- information about your browser and device, such as its user agent;
- the identifiers stored in Meta's cookies.
Meta's cookies. Meta's script sets a first-party cookie, _fbp, on trovemont.com. It holds an identifier of your browser. It lasts 90 days and is renewed each time you visit. When you arrive through a link whose address carries an fbclid parameter, as links in Meta ads do, the script also sets _fbc, which records that click, for 90 days. If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram in the same browser, Meta may also read the cookies it keeps on its own domains, such as fr. Those cookies are Meta's, and Meta's own policy governs them. Our Cookie Policy gives the details.
Meta's own use. Meta also uses the information it receives for its own purposes, under its own terms and its privacy policy, at facebook.com/privacy/policy. Turning the pixel off on our site does not change what Meta does on its own services. To manage the ads Meta shows you, use the ad preferences in your Facebook or Instagram settings.
Where it runs, and your choices.
- Outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, including in the United States, the pixel runs by default, until you turn it off.
- In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the pixel does not load, and sets no cookie, until you yourself switch it on in Cookie settings. That choice is your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time by switching it off. Our code tells where you are from your browser's time zone. Every time zone whose name begins with "Europe/" counts, and so do those of Iceland, the Canary Islands, Madeira, the Azores, the Faroe Islands, Cyprus, Ceuta and Melilla, and France's overseas regions and communities in the Caribbean, South America and the Indian Ocean (Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Guiana, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy, Réunion and Mayotte). This is an approximation: a browser set to any other time zone is treated as outside these places.
- Off, at any time. If you turn the Meta Pixel off in Cookie settings, which the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link also opens, it stops at once on the page you are reading: our code revokes the pixel's consent, with Meta's own command, and reports no more events. Its script then no longer loads on our site in that browser, and the
_fbpand_fbccookies already set on trovemont.com are deleted. Turning it off is your request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising. - Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, the Meta Pixel does not load on our site. Its switch shows off and cannot be turned on from the page.
3.6 When you write to us
Through our contact page. The form on our contact page asks for your name, your email address, a topic and your message, and, when you write about a brand partnership, the name and website of your company. We keep them in our database, hosted by Supabase (section 6.1), with the date and the status of our answer, so that we can read and answer them. When email delivery is turned on, the form also sends them to our mailbox as an email, through Resend, an email delivery service.
By email. You can write to contact@trovemont.com. We then receive your message, your email address, the name your email service shows and any attachment.
Our mailbox. Our mailbox is hosted by an email service provider. We also use an AI assistant service to sort and label the messages it receives. Both handle your message to provide their service to us (section 6.1).
What we do with it. We use your email address only to reply to you and to follow up on your request. It is not added to any list, because we do not run one, and we send no marketing email. Please do not send us sensitive information, such as details about your health or financial account numbers. We never need it.
3.7 Commission reports from stores
When a purchase made through our links earns a commission, the store or its affiliate program reports it to us, typically with the order date, the order amount, an order reference and the commission. We do not ask stores for buyers' names or contact details. If a report includes such details, we use them only to check the commission. We never combine these reports, person by person, with our click records or audience events.
3.8 What we do not collect
- No account, password or profile. There is nothing to sign up for.
- No payment information. You buy on the store's website, under its terms.
- No IP address in our database, for any purpose.
- No precise location. Our records keep a country only.
- No advertising pixel other than the Meta Pixel (section 3.5), and no session recordings.
- No mailing list. The site has no subscription form.
- No questions about your health. Some of our guides cover health and wellness products. We do not use visits to those pages to draw any conclusion about anyone's health. When the Meta Pixel runs, Meta receives the address of those pages, as of any other, but the events our code reports there name no store, product, article or category and carry no coupon code (section 3.5).
4. How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- deliver the site and keep it working;
- measure which offers, pages, links and searches readers use, so we can keep offers current, improve our guides, and fix or remove what no longer works;
- check the commissions reported to us, and investigate unusual click patterns such as automated clicks;
- through the Meta Pixel, measure and improve our ads on Facebook and Instagram, and build audiences of people who visited our site for those ads (section 3.5);
- answer your messages, and correct our pages when you report an error;
- protect the site, our readers and our business against fraud, abuse and security threats;
- comply with the law, enforce our Terms of Use, and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We do not:
- sell or share personal information, or use it for targeted advertising, except through the Meta Pixel (section 6.5);
- build profiles of readers;
- match click records or audience events, person by person, with any other data;
- make decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects.
We use de-identified and aggregated statistics, which identify no one, to run and grow Trovemont, and we may share them, for example with a partner store.
5. Cookies and local storage
Readers get no cookie from Trovemont itself.
The Meta Pixel sets _fbp, and _fbc when you arrive through a link that carries an fbclid parameter, as section 3.5 says, unless it is off in your browser.
The one cookie our site sets, trovemont_preview, is for a member of our editorial team who opens a private draft preview. It is limited to that preview's address, cannot be read by page scripts, and expires within 20 minutes. If our host's security system ever asks your browser to pass a check, for example during an attack on the site, the host may set a cookie of its own to remember that you passed it.
In your browser's local storage, the site keeps at most three items: your light or dark preference, once you choose one, under the key trovemont-theme; your Google Analytics choice, once you make one, under the key trovemont-consent; and your Meta Pixel choice, once you make one, under the key trovemont-ads. None of them leaves your device or is read by our servers. Clearing your site data removes them. Nothing on the site breaks if you do.
Our Cookie Policy lists each item, with what it does, how long it lasts and how to refuse or delete it.
Cookie settings
Cookie settings, at the bottom of every page, has two switches: "Google Analytics" and "Meta Pixel (advertising)." The "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, also at the bottom of every page, opens the same panel. There is no banner. Your choices are remembered in your browser's local storage, under trovemont-consent for Google Analytics and trovemont-ads for the Meta Pixel. They apply only in that browser. In another browser or on another device, or after you clear your site data, the defaults apply again. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal of both, whatever the switches said before, and both switches stay off.
Google Analytics is not active today, so its switch only records your choice for when it is.
Turned off, the Meta Pixel stops at once, its script no longer loads on our site in this browser, and the _fbp and _fbc cookies already set on trovemont.com are deleted. Turning it off is your request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising (section 6.5). Outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the Meta Pixel switch is on until you turn it off. In those places, it is off until you turn it on (section 3.5).
6. Who we share information with
6.1 Our service providers
These companies process personal information on our behalf, to provide their services to us:
| Provider | What it does for us | Information it handles | Its privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vercel Inc. | Hosts the site, runs its server code, and delivers its pages and images | Request data, including IP addresses, and everything our server code handles | vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy |
| Supabase, Inc. | Hosts our database, on servers in Canada, and our image storage | Click records, audience events and the messages sent from our contact page | supabase.com/privacy |
| Resend | Delivers the messages sent from our contact page to our mailbox, when this delivery is turned on | Name, email address, topic, message, and company and website when given | resend.com/legal/privacy-policy |
| Our email service provider | Hosts our mailbox | The emails you send us, and the messages delivered from our contact page | Its own policy |
| Our AI assistant service | Sorts and labels the messages in our mailbox | The same emails | Its own policy |
Meta Platforms, Inc. is not on this list. It receives information through the Meta Pixel as a third party, for advertising, and also uses it for its own purposes (section 6.5).
6.2 Stores and affiliate programs
When you follow one of our links, you choose to visit the store. We do not send the store or its affiliate program any personal information from our records. What they receive comes from your own browser as you arrive:
- the tracking code in the link, which identifies Trovemont and the offer, never you;
- our domain name, trovemont.com, as the site you came from. Our pages tell your browser not to share the address of the page you were reading;
- whatever their own website collects once you are there, under their own privacy policy, including the cookies they may set to credit a purchase to us (see our Cookie Policy).
6.3 Legal reasons and safety
We may disclose information when the law requires it, such as in response to a subpoena or a court order, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is needed to protect the rights, property or safety of our readers, of Star Dream LLC or of others, or to investigate fraud or abuse. We disclose only what the situation requires.
6.4 If the business changes hands
If Star Dream LLC, or Trovemont, is involved in a merger, an acquisition, a financing or a sale of assets, the information described here may be transferred as part of it. It would remain protected by this policy, or by a new one that we would announce on this page before it applies.
6.5 Sale, sharing and targeted advertising
Through the Meta Pixel (section 3.5), we make personal information available to Meta:
| Third party | Why we use it | Information it receives | Its privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meta Platforms, Inc. | The Meta Pixel: to measure and improve our ads on Facebook and Instagram, and to build audiences of people who visited our site for those ads. Meta also uses the information for its own purposes. | Meta Pixel data (section 3.5) | facebook.com/privacy/policy |
Under California law, this is "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We receive no money for it. Because some state laws, California's among them, define a "sale" broadly, it may also be considered a "sale." Under the other U.S. state privacy laws, such as those of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon and Montana, it is processing for targeted advertising. The same controls opt you out of all of it: the Meta Pixel switch in Cookie settings, which the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link also opens, and a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser (sections 5, 12 and 13).
This began on October 25, 2026, when we added the Meta Pixel. Before that date, we did not sell or share personal information. Apart from the Meta Pixel, we do not sell or share personal information, or process it for targeted advertising. We do not use it for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, as the U.S. state privacy laws define those terms. Sending you to a store when you click one of our links is a visit you direct yourself, not a sale. We do not give anyone your name, your email address or your other contact details for their own marketing.
7. Links to stores and other websites
Our guides link to stores, their affiliate programs and other websites. Once you arrive there, their privacy policies apply, not this one. Stores and their affiliate programs may use cookies to record that you came from Trovemont, so that a purchase can be credited to us (see our Cookie Policy). Please read the privacy policy of each store you visit.
8. Where your information is processed
Star Dream LLC is a company of the United States. Our host delivers pages from the point of its global network closest to you. Our database and our image storage are hosted by Supabase in Canada. Meta processes the information the Meta Pixel sends in the United States and in other countries where it operates. The people who run Trovemont work outside the United States, and they access this information from where they are.
Your information may therefore be processed in the United States, in Canada and in other countries, whose data protection laws may differ from those of the place where you live. Wherever it is processed, this policy applies to it.
9. How long we keep information
| Information | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Click records | In full for 90 days. We then remove the IP code, the user agent and where you came from. What remains (the offer, the store, the page, the place on the page, the country, the robot flag and the time) is de-identified, and we keep it for our statistics. |
| Audience events | In full for 90 days. We then remove the daily visitor code. What remains is de-identified, and we keep it for our statistics. |
| Our host's request logs | For the limited period set by Vercel's service, under its privacy policy |
| Meta Pixel data | At Meta, for as long as Meta's terms and privacy policy provide. We keep no copy of it. The _fbp cookie lasts 90 days and is renewed each time you visit; the _fbc cookie lasts 90 days. Both are deleted when you turn the Meta Pixel off (section 3.5). |
| Messages stored in our database | 12 months, then deleted |
| Emails in our mailbox, including the copies of messages sent from our contact page | We review our mailbox at least once a year and, at each review, delete the emails that are more than 12 months old. Exceptions: correspondence about a business partnership, kept for as long as the relationship lasts and then as long as our legal, tax and accounting records require; and privacy requests with our answers, kept for 24 months as a record of how we handled them. |

Click records and audience events are de-identified automatically, by a daily job on our database, and the same job deletes the messages stored in our database once they are 12 months old. We keep information longer than shown above only when the law requires it, or while it is needed for a legal claim.
De-identified information. Once de-identified, information can no longer reasonably be linked to you or your device. We keep it only in that form, we do not attempt to re-identify it, and we would require anyone who receives it from us to make the same commitments.
10. How we protect information
- Every page is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and browsers are told to use nothing else.
- Click records, audience events and the messages sent to us cannot be read or written with the public key our pages use. Only our server code, holding a private key, can access them.
- No IP address is stored in our database, and the database refuses anything but a one-way code in the fields that hold them.
- Secret keys, including the key used to compute the daily codes, stay on our servers, apart from the database, and never appear in the pages sent to your browser.
- Our pages tell your browser to refuse connections to any outside server that is not on a short list we set.
- Access to our systems is limited to the people who run Trovemont and to the tools we use to run it.
No system is perfectly secure. If a security breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.
11. Your rights and choices
11.1 What you can ask
Wherever you live, you can ask us:
- whether we hold personal information about you, and for access to it;
- for a copy of the personal information you gave us, in a portable, commonly used electronic format;
- to correct it;
- to delete it;
- to stop using it for a given purpose;
- for the list of the specific third parties to which we disclosed it. We disclose it to the service providers listed in section 6.1 and, through the Meta Pixel, to Meta Platforms, Inc. (section 6.5).
11.2 How to make a request
How to ask. Write to contact@trovemont.com, or use our contact page with the topic for privacy requests. Tell us what you want. To protect you, we may ask you to confirm that you control the email address involved. We never ask for more information than we need to handle the request, and we use what you give us for that purpose only.
Through someone else. Someone you authorize, such as an authorized agent, can make a request for you with your signed permission. We may ask you to confirm your identity, or the request, directly with us.
When we answer. We confirm receipt within 10 business days and answer within 30 days. If we need more time, we tell you why within those 30 days, and we answer within 45 more days. Requests are free. We may decline a request that is manifestly unfounded or excessive, and we will tell you why.
Finding your records. Our click records and audience events contain no name, no email address and no cookie identifier, and the codes computed from your IP address change every day. If you give us a date and the public IP address your connection used that day, we can compute the same click-record code and look for those records. For audience events, we also need your browser's exact user agent. An IP address is often shared by several people, for example in a household, an office or a mobile network. So we can delete the records we find this way, but we do not disclose what they contain, because we could not be sure they are yours. Without these details, we have no way to single the records out, and we will tell you so plainly. What the Meta Pixel sends goes from your browser to Meta, not to us, and we keep no copy of it. For the information Meta holds, see Meta's privacy policy, which explains how to exercise your rights with Meta (section 3.5).
Appeals. If we decline all or part of your request, you can ask us to reconsider by replying with "Appeal" within 60 days of our answer. We answer an appeal within 45 days and explain our decision. If you remain unsatisfied, you can contact the attorney general of your state.
No penalty. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights. Nothing on Trovemont is paid, so there is no price or service to change anyway.
12. Information for residents of U.S. states
12.1 All states
A growing number of U.S. states give their residents privacy rights. Most of these laws apply only to businesses above a certain size or volume of data. Whether or not the law of your state applies to us, we honor the rights in section 11 for residents of every state.
These laws also let you opt out of the sale of your personal information, of its use for targeted advertising, and of profiling. The Meta Pixel is targeted advertising, as these laws define it, and it may be considered a sale (section 6.5). Wherever you live, you can opt out of both in any of these ways:
- turn the Meta Pixel off in Cookie settings, at the bottom of every page;
- use the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link, also at the bottom of every page, which opens the same switch;
- let your browser send a Global Privacy Control signal, which we honor as an opt-out (section 13).
Your choice applies in the browser where you make it (section 5). We do not use personal information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, so there is no such profiling to opt out of.
We do not collect or process sensitive personal information, as these laws define it.
Our click records and audience events are pseudonymous: they can be linked to a person only with additional information, namely the IP address, which we do not keep, and the secret key, which we keep apart from them. Where a state law excludes pseudonymous data from some of these rights, we still delete such records on request when we can find them (section 11.2).
12.2 California
Categories of personal information. The table below describes the personal information we have collected in the past 12 months, using the categories of the California Consumer Privacy Act. We disclosed each category to our service providers (section 6.1), for the purposes listed in section 4. We also shared two of these categories with Meta Platforms, Inc., as "Sale and sharing" explains below. How long we keep each item is set out in section 9.
| Category | What it covers on Trovemont | Where it comes from | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Your name and email address, if you write to us. Your IP address, which our host processes to deliver pages, which Meta receives through the Meta Pixel, and which our click records and audience events keep only as a daily code. The identifiers in the Meta Pixel's cookies (section 3.5). | You and your browser | Sections 3 and 4 |
| Personal information listed in California Civil Code section 1798.80(e) | Your name, if you write to us | You | Answering you |
| Internet or other electronic network activity | Pages viewed, time on the page, clicks on links, offers shown, codes copied, the site that sent you, browser and device information, search terms, and, through the Meta Pixel, the page's title and other information that describes it, the buttons you click and the actions listed in section 3.5, such as sharing a page | Your browser | Sections 3 and 4 |
| Geolocation data | Your country, in click records and audience events. Never your precise location. | Your connection | Measurement |
| Professional information | The name and website of your company, if you write to us about a partnership | You | Discussing the partnership |
We collect no other category. We draw no inferences about you, and we collect no sensitive personal information. Commission reports (section 3.7) are not linked to any reader.
Sale and sharing. Until October 25, 2026, we sold and shared no personal information. Since that date, through the Meta Pixel, we have shared these two categories with Meta Platforms, Inc., for cross-context behavioral advertising:
| Category | Shared with | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers: your IP address and the identifiers in Meta's cookies | Meta Platforms, Inc. | Measuring and improving our ads on Facebook and Instagram, and building audiences of people who visited our site for those ads (section 3.5) |
| Internet or other electronic network activity: pages viewed, the page that sent you, the page's title and other information that describes it, the buttons you click, the actions on our pages listed in section 3.5 with their details, including your search terms and the coupon codes you copy, and browser and device information | Meta Platforms, Inc. | The same |
We receive no money for this. Because California defines a "sale" broadly, this sharing may also be considered a sale. We sold or shared no other category, and we sold or shared nothing with anyone else.
Your right to opt out. You have the right to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information. Use the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link at the bottom of every page, which opens Cookie settings, and turn the Meta Pixel off. That one switch opts you out of both. A Global Privacy Control signal from your browser does the same (section 13). Your choice applies in the browser where you make it (section 5).
Consumers under 16. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
Financial incentives. We offer no financial incentive for personal information.
Shine the Light. Under California Civil Code section 1798.83, you may ask whether we disclosed personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not.
12.3 Nevada
We do not sell covered information, as Nevada law defines it. Nevada residents may still ask us not to sell it by writing to contact@trovemont.com, our designated address for such requests.
13. Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track and tracking by others
Global Privacy Control. When your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as your request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising. Neither Google Analytics nor the Meta Pixel loads on our site in that browser, so neither reads nor sets its cookies, and both switches in Cookie settings show off and cannot be turned on from the page. Our own click records and audience measurement (sections 3.1 and 3.2) continue, because they involve no sale, sharing or targeted advertising.
Do Not Track. We do not respond to "Do Not Track" signals, which never became an agreed standard. We collect the same information whether or not your browser sends one.
Tracking by others. Through the Meta Pixel, we allow Meta to collect information about your activities on our site over time, for advertising. Meta may connect it with information about your activities on other websites and on its own services, under its own policy (section 3.5). You can stop this in Cookie settings (section 5). We allow no other company to use our pages to collect information about your activities across different websites over time, or to collect information on our pages for advertising.
14. Readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland
When the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation applies to our use of your information, these are our legal bases. The same principles guide our processing under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection.
| Processing | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Click records and audience events | Our legitimate interest in measuring whether our own pages and links work and in preventing abuse. We limit it to codes that change daily, with no IP address and no identifier that lasts beyond a day. |
| Our host's request logs | Our legitimate interest in delivering the site securely |
| The Meta Pixel, its cookies and the information it sends to Meta | Your consent, given by switching the Meta Pixel on in Cookie settings. Without it, the pixel does not load in a browser set to one of the time zones listed in section 3.5. |
| Answering your messages | Our legitimate interest in answering the people who write to us, and steps you ask us to take |
| Keeping your theme, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel choices | Kept on your device because you asked for it. They never leave it. |
| Legal obligations and legal claims | Compliance with a legal obligation, and our legitimate interest in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims |
You also have the right to restrict our use of your information, to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and to withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what was done before. You can lodge a complaint with a data protection authority: in the European Economic Area, the authority of your country (list on the European Data Protection Board's website); in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner's Office; in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner. We would welcome the chance to address your concern first.
Your information is transferred to the United States, to Canada and to other countries (section 8). When the law of your country requires a safeguard for such a transfer, we rely on the one offered in the terms of the company concerned, such as standard contractual clauses.
15. Children
Trovemont is written for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we delete the information we hold. If you believe that a child under 13 has sent us personal information, write to us. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 (section 12.2).
16. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when our practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when the version in force took effect. When a change is material, we say so at the top of this page for at least 30 days. We will not use personal information we already hold in a materially different way from what this policy said when we collected it, unless you agree. We keep no mailing list, so we cannot email you about a change. Earlier versions are available on request.
