How we value your data
Notice of financial incentive
What this program is
Reward My Data rewards members for sharing shopping data. Under California law and similar laws in other states, that makes it a financial incentive program, and we owe you a plain explanation of what we collect, what you get, and what we think the data is worth.
What we collect
•
The receipt itself: store, date and time, items, prices, discounts, totals and payment type.
•
For fraud checks only, never sold: the receipt photo (deleted after 90 days), where it was scanned (deleted after 30 days), and the name, card digits and transaction number printed on it (deleted after 12 months).
•
Health and pharmacy items are removed from every receipt as it is read; we keep only the price.
•
Weekly ads and coupons you add, and any comments you post.
•
Your profile: name, date of birth, address, phone and email. These are used to run your account and apply your state's rules, and are never sold.
What you get
•
Data Rewards (DR): 2 DR for each verified receipt, 0.5 more when it is scanned at the store, 1 DR for a weekly ad page, 0.5 DR for a coupon. DR are redeemed for gift cards.
•
The monthly contributor pool: a pool of money split equally, in DR, among every member who contributes a verified receipt in every week of the month (see the pool terms).
•
A copy of your data, exportable at any time, that you can sell to anyone else.

A single receipt on its own is worth cents. Thousands of receipts, anonymized and combined, are what buyers pay for. That is why every one you add is rewarded, and why the reward is a share, not a jackpot.
Method. We take what large platforms and retail media networks earn per active user from purchase and behavior data (the figures above), divide by the typical number of receipts a member shares in a year, and set DR so that the value we pass back is a fair share of what a single verified receipt adds to the aggregate dataset: on the order of cents to a few dollars per receipt, depending on how many members contribute in the same area and how much demand there is for it. We revise this estimate as we learn what buyers actually pay.

Joining and leaving
Joining. You opt in when you agree on the profile form, after seeing this notice. Each receipt you then submit becomes part of our de-identified, aggregated datasets.
Leaving. You can stop at any time: stop submitting, or delete your account from the Me tab or by emailing hello@saverscommunity.com. Before deleting, redeem any DR you have, because unredeemed DR end with the account. When you delete, we erase your account, profile and photos, and keep your receipts only in de-identified form, with nothing that links them to you.
Selling and opting out. We don't sell personal information. What buyers get is de-identified and aggregated, we publicly commit not to re-identify it, and every buyer must contractually commit the same. If your state gives you the right to opt out of sale or sharing, the Me tab has that switch; using it never lowers your rewards.
