PetBux Affiliate Marketplace — Effective Date: April 7, 2026 · Last Updated: September 1, 2026
By using PetBux, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
PetBux Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PetBux," "we," "us," or "our"), operates the PetBux cashback affiliate marketplace, including the PetBux website, browser extension, and related services (the "Service").
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to visitors to petbux.com, PetBux members, and users of the PetBux browser extension.
The Service is intended for United States residents aged 18 and over.
Where you install the PetBux browser extension, it collects:
The extension does not read pages on non-participating sites beyond checking the web address, and does not collect the contents of forms, payment details, or passwords. See Section 5.
In the twelve months preceding the date of this policy, we have collected the following categories of personal information as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act:
| Category | Examples | Collected | | --- | --- | --- | | Identifiers | Name, email address, IP address, account ID | Yes | | Customer records | Payout account details | Yes | | Commercial information | Purchases made through the Service, cashback earned, brands shopped | Yes | | Internet or network activity | Browsing and click activity on the Service and on participating retailer sites via the extension | Yes | | Geolocation data | Approximate location derived from IP address | Yes | | Inferences | Preferences and interests drawn from your shopping activity, used to select relevant offers | Yes | | Sensitive personal information | Account log-in credentials | Yes | | Biometric information | — | No | | Protected classification characteristics | — | No | | Audio, electronic, visual information | — | No | | Professional or education information | — | No |
We use log-in credentials only to authenticate you and secure your account. We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit under California law.
We use personal information to:
The extension exists to activate cashback and find working discount codes while you shop.
How it works. The extension checks the web address of the page you are on against our list of participating retailers. Where there is a match, it may show you the available cashback rate and let you activate it. On a participating retailer's checkout page, it may read the order total and automatically test available discount codes in the coupon field.
What it does not do. The extension does not collect the contents of forms other than the discount field, payment card details, passwords, or the content of pages on non-participating sites. It writes only into the retailer's discount or coupon field.
Your control. Automatic code application can be turned off in the extension settings. You can disable or remove the extension at any time through your browser. Removing it does not delete cashback already earned or your PetBux account.
We do not sell your personal information for money.
We share personal information in the following circumstances.
We share a unique, non-identifying tracking identifier with affiliate networks so your purchase can be attributed to your account. Networks and retailers return transaction data to us.
Retailers and networks do not receive your name, email address, or payout details from us as part of this process.
Networks currently used: Impact, Awin, Ascend, ShareASale, and other approved networks.
We advertise the Service on platforms including Meta (Facebook and Instagram), and we have advertised on TikTok. To measure whether our advertising works and to reach people likely to be interested in PetBux, we share limited information with these platforms:
This is "sharing" under California law. We do not receive money for it, but because it supports cross-context behavioural advertising, California residents have the right to opt out. See Section 10.
We also use analytics and advertising cookies and pixels on our website, described in Section 7.
We may send email messages sponsored by participating brands. Which sponsored messages you receive may be informed by your purchase history with PetBux.
The sponsoring brand does not receive your email address, name, or purchase history from us. We send the message; the brand supplies the content and pays for the placement. Sponsored messages are clearly identified as sponsored.
You can opt out of sponsored messages separately from other marketing. See Section 9.
We share information with vendors who perform services on our behalf, under contracts requiring them to protect it and use it only for those services. These include hosting and infrastructure, email delivery, payment and payout processing, analytics, customer support, and fraud prevention.
We may disclose information where required by law, subpoena, or legal process; to protect our rights, property, or safety, or those of our users or the public; to investigate fraud; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, where the recipient will be bound by this policy or give notice of any change.
We and our partners use cookies, pixels, tracking links, local storage, and similar technologies to:
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies will affect cashback tracking and may prevent the Service working as intended.
Where we detect a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising, as required under California law.
We keep personal information for as long as your account is open, and afterwards only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy.
Where information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.
Transactional messages relating to your account, cashback, and payouts are part of the Service and cannot be unsubscribed from while your account is open.
Marketing messages can be turned off using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or in your account settings. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop transactional messages.
Sponsored messages can be turned off separately in your account settings, without unsubscribing from other marketing.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
Email support@petbux.com with the subject line "Privacy Request," or use the tools in your account settings.
We will verify your identity before acting on a request, normally by confirming you control the email address on the account. We will respond within 45 days, and may extend by a further 45 days where necessary, telling you if we do.
An authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf with written permission from you, which we may ask you to confirm directly.
To opt out of the sharing described in Section 6.2:
Opting out does not affect your cashback, your account, or the transactional messages you receive.
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and multi-factor authentication on systems holding member data. Passwords are stored in hashed form and are not readable by us.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact support@petbux.com immediately.
The Service is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn we have collected information from someone under 18, we will delete it. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact support@petbux.com.
The Service links to retailer and brand websites we do not control. Once you leave PetBux, this policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Where a change is material, we will notify you by email or by a prominent notice on the Service before it takes effect.
