Your privacy is important to us at Aardvark. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information across our website, web app, and browser extension.
Aardvark Holdings Inc. (“Aardvark,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how Aardvark collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website, web app, browser extension, or any related services (“Service”).
Aardvark is a creator-centric, extension-first platform that helps shoppers discover creator-recommended deals. Our intention is NOT to track you across the internet or collect unnecessary data. We use first-party analytics only, and we never sell your personal data.
By using Aardvark, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue using our services.
We collect limited information to operate Aardvark effectively:
If you choose to connect social accounts (e.g., Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), we may access publicly available profile data to enhance your creator tools. You can disconnect these accounts at any time.
We do not store credit card or banking information. All payments are securely processed by Stripe or similar PCI-DSS-compliant providers.

We process your information when:
Aardvark uses a small number of first-party cookies and local storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure usage.
We do not use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site tracking pixels, or retargeting technologies. We do not allow social platforms (Meta, TikTok, Google Ads) to track you across Aardvark.
Aardvark personalizes which creators, brands, and deals you see inside the platform based on your activity (e.g., who you follow, categories selected, deals clicked).
Occasionally, brands may pay to “boost” a deal or placement inside Aardvark (e.g., in Explore or a brand page). These are not ads in the third-party tracking sense: no retargeting, no ad pixels, no data sharing with ad networks.
You can disable personalization at any time in your account settings. If you do, Aardvark will show more generic deals and creators.
We only share information with:

We use encryption, secure access controls, and routine audits to protect your data. If a breach occurs, we will notify affected users consistent with applicable law.
