Our Site and third parties may collect personally identifiable information from you such as your name, e-mail address, username, and password and/or other information that may identify you as an individual or allow online contact with you so that we or other third parties can provide you with the products and services you request or have agreed to receive. We collect personal information from users when they register or create an account on our Site, or through other ways such as through such user’s activities, transactions, and or other similar types of canvassing and other online forms on our Site. If you access our Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device. We also collect information about your device’s precise location over time to provide you with more relevant deals, such as offering deals in real time for a store that you are visiting.

If you log in via a third-party service like Facebook or Google, we will collect the information described in the third-party service’s request for authorization. This information may include your name, email address, gender, city, and state. You should review your privacy settings with these third-party services to be sure you are only sharing information you wish to share.

This information includes your IP address, your browser type and language, access times, the content of any undeleted cookies that your browser previously accepted from us and the referring website address.

These are commonly called “do not track” signals. GeneratorTools site requires cookies to maintain active user sessions, and therefore GeneratorTools does not act on Do Not Track requests. Third Party Web Beacons: To bring you the best experience and product set possible, we may also implement and integrate third party content, such as advertising, on the Service that uses “clear gifs,” “web beacons,” or other similar techniques, and which may allow the third party content provider to read and write cookies to your browser, or implement similar tracking mechanisms, in connection with your viewing of that third party content displayed on or through the Service.
