What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Our vision at AddUp Rewards is to provide you with free information on credit card reward programs. Our ability to offer you relevant reward program information is based on your agreement to share with us information such as the credit cards you own and the terms on those cards. Only with this information will we be able to match your specific reward programs with the retailers you visit, and thus provide you with retailer-specific reward information.

Our commitment to your privacy also means that we will use your data only to provide our services to you and to improve the services we provide. We will never sell your personal information to anyone. You will never see advertisements on our service that were tailored to you based on the information you provided us.
