    The permissions on their extension allows for them to read site data so they definitely could operate as a data broker. However their tos has no mention of any data sharing so you are likely correct that they just take a commission. Great site imo

      I didn’t even realise they have an extension. I just use the site.

      I also use CashbackMonitor.com, which lets you look up a site and see a list of all the cashback sites that support it. Sometimes, during promotions (like Black Friday), Rakuten’s cashback is temporarily higher than TopCashback’s.
