Y’all, do not ever use Groupon+. They monitor every transaction you make with the card you used to sign up, even if it’s not a transaction using a Groupon.

I know because I’m sitting at a restaurant and just got an email from Groupon saying I’d missed out on a deal. They figured out I was at that restaurant by tracking my credit card. I disabled it as soon as I got the email but they must have tracked me for months.

It would be legal if he agreed the terms of service. But he could ask for the data and ask for their destruction. And he would also have several other rights related to such data, such as knowing about any sort of leak, about transfer to third parties and so on...
