Black Friday is great for deals, but it’s also prime time for brands to collect your data. You might sign up for discounts only to get flooded with spam or see higher prices because of your previous browsing activity. But not to worry — Surfshark bundles are here to minimize Black Friday risks and protect you beyond the sales season!

Surfshark bundle use cases for the Black Friday season
Get better deals
Surfshark VPN, our top product, is included in all bundles. You can use it on any e-commerce site to avoid personalized (possibly higher) prices.
Brands can use your unencrypted traffic info to show you prices based on past searches, especially on Black Friday. Though you might feel inclined to buy more at this time of the year, with the search history present, you may still not get the best deals possible.
Here’s what you should do: clear your cookies, clean your cache, and turn on your VPN. This way, you can explore prices unaffected by your browsing history.
Enjoy discounts while avoiding spam
You spot a discount, but the website asks you to register to claim it. It might lead to more spam emails or calls, but there’s no other way to get the discount… Or is there?
If you use our email and personal data masking tool, Alternative ID, you can claim that discount without the risk of getting more spam.
Alternative ID creates an alternative online persona and email address for you. It forwards emails to your inbox so that you can confirm and grab the discount while keeping your real email address private and your inbox free of future spam. And even better — Alternative ID is included in all of our bundles.
Need a phone number instead? Try Alternative Number, Alternative ID’s paid feature. With one simple solution, you can create an alternative phone number for online accounts and listings, keep your real phone number hidden, and receive fewer spam calls or smishing attemps.
Shop safely
Black Friday is an active time for scammers trying to snoop on your traffic and get your credit card details — or even advertisers tracking your habits and geographical location to push highly targeted offers.
But Surfshark VPN can give you peace of mind while shopping at countless online stores. It encrypts your connection, making your activities private and illegible to anyone trying to snoop on you.
You don’t need to worry about your digital footprint, snooping, price manipulation, or hackers peeking into your browser window — a reassuring thought, particularly for a Black Friday shopping spree.
Protect yourself from malware and viruses
When you’re in the mood to snatch the best deal, you might click on links without a second thought. But lots of scammers take advantage of that. You might receive fake deal emails with malware or messages with links that will lead you to fake websites lurking for your credit card details.
If you ever click on the wrong thing, Antivirus can help protect you from malware or viruses.
Surfshark bundle use cases after the Black Friday season
Get alerts if your data is leaked
There are brands that you trust and feel comfortable giving them your real email address. You might even save your credit card data on their website for future use.
Unfortunately, even the brands we feel confident about might experience breaches. Our data leak detector, Alert, will inform you if your details, such as email, credit card information, or National ID number, were leaked online. This enables you to act quickly and change your password for the leaked account or contact the relevant authorities to address the leak.
Remove your data from databases
If you weren’t attentive to protecting your data while shopping, you might now have a problem for years to come. Much of the personal information you give websites will be stored in databases until you ask them to delete it. That information could get leaked or lead to spam flooding your inbox due to services sharing the collected data with third-party data brokers.
But what if you changed your opinion about the brand and wanted to withdraw all that shared data right now? Well, the process could be quite tedious. Brands want to keep your data to stay in contact and send tailored offers.
Luckily, Incogni can help you with that. It makes automated data removal requests on your behalf and sends them repeatedly, if necessary, to keep your data off the data brokers’ market or people-search websites.
Conclusion
Surfshark bundles give you invaluable protection during Black Friday and year-round: they help you get the best deals and discounts while keeping your data private, allow you to shop safely wherever you are, and protect your devices from malware and viruses.
