Sail Deals also known as saildeals.net is a legitimate websites developed by SuperWeb LLC. Sail Deals offers an ad-supported browser extension that can be downloaded from the official website. It may also be available for download on freeware/ shareware pages. Once installed, the extension should display various deals to users. However, it should be noted that after Sail Deals is properly installed, the user may start witnessing intrusive third party advertisements.
N.B. Our research indicates that clicking the ‘start now’ button does not lead to an actual download – but to a blank page. Nonetheless, Sail Deals may still be bundled and downloaded together with other ad-supported products under their ‘advanced’ installation options. To stay away from any adware, the user should always execute custom installation, so that additional software is unchecked timely from the download package. Also, make sure that the EULA (End User License Agreement) is fully read before installing any freeware tools.
Sail Deals General Description
As already mentioned, the website as well as the application that comes with it, are legitimate. Yet, adware tends to turn into an issue mainly because of its ad-supported nature. Many of the ads and hyperlinks provided by such browser extensions may redirect the user to suspicious websites. Another common problem with adware is the addition of tracking cookies so that PII (personally identifiable information) is collected. PII consists of:
→Names, website credentials (passwords, user names), banking credentials, physical addresses, IP addresses, etc.
Keep in mind that adware may collect PII as well as Non-PII. Non-personally identifiable information is:
→ Web browsing histories, browsing habits, website cookies, etc.
All collected data may be used by third party digital marketers and businesses so that various online studies are efficiently conducted.
As visible by the End User License, the company does not take responsibility for any interaction with third parties, or any content displayed by third parties.
As visible by the Privacy Policy, the company may implement collected user data for marketing, analytics or other purposes that are not disclosed.
