This privacy policy explains how ArekNet.com ("ArekNet", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects your personal data. We comply with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK GDPR.
Who we are
ArekNet is a UK-based deals and voucher codes website. You can contact us at hello@areknet.com.
What data do we collect?
- Email addresses — only if you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us directly.
- Click data — anonymised IP hashes and browser user-agents are logged when you click an affiliate link, so we can attribute traffic and remove broken codes. We never store raw IP addresses.
- Cookies — see "Cookies and analytics" below.
How do we use your data?
- To send you the newsletter (only if you've subscribed) and let you unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
- To respond to your messages.
- To analyse aggregate site usage and remove broken or expired offers.
- To attribute affiliate clicks back to ArekNet via our partner networks (Awin, CJ, Amazon Associates, etc.) so the site remains free.
Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of cookies:
- Essential cookies — for session management and your cookie-consent choice.
- Analytics — Google Analytics 4 (anonymised IPs) helps us understand which deals are popular.
- Affiliate cookies — partner networks may set cookies when you click an affiliate link, so the retailer can attribute the sale back to ArekNet.
You can decline non-essential cookies via the consent banner shown on your first visit. Your preference is stored in your browser's local storage.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You have the right to access, correct or erase any personal data we hold about you, and to opt out of marketing emails at any time. Contact hello@areknet.com to action any request — we'll respond within 30 days.
Third parties
We share necessary data with our newsletter provider, our affiliate networks and Google Analytics. We never sell your personal data to anyone, ever.
How long do we keep data?
Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe. Click logs are retained for 18 months for fraud prevention and broken-code detection, then deleted.
