Do you sign up at name brand websites to get free coupons? I am so worried about giving out my information to all these different sites, even name brand ones, because I hear they sell your information. Is that true?

Any legitimate website where you provide personal information should have a link to a privacy policy (usually at the bottom of the page) which you can read to find out what they do with your information. If it says they share your information with third parties (often referred to as "partners"), that's what you don't want. Often they will give you an option on the online form you fill out to receive (or not receive) newsletters or other information from entities besides the company whose website you're signing up on. If you don't want to receive third-party information, just don't select those options.

I've signed up with tons of name brand websites for coupons and I always check the box so they don't share my information.
However, I have received coupons from very few of them. Huggies is the only one who sends me coupons on a regular basis. Many websites never sent me any (and I've waited 6 months to a year for them.)

I usually don't sign up at places to get coupons in the mail, unless I know from other coupon buddies that they actually send them, but I sign up for printables all the time. Like several times a week. (In fact, I'm loading some printable coupons on another page right now LOL.) I have a "junk" yahoo email addy that I use for all my signups, reward sites, etc so that our regular email inbox isn't overflowing. Only takes a couple of minutes each day to go thru and delete all the junk emails, so I consider it worth the time for the savings.

I use a junk email account for coupons too.
I usually receive the coupons I request in the mail - there are some sweet ones out there!!
I also do printables.
ETA: I am trying to find the Target coupons that are online... does anyone know where they are? I just read you can stack them with manufacturer coupons, so long as the coupon doesn't prohibit it.

I've requested coupons from multiple companies and I never get them in the mail.
The only company I've ever received coupons from is Kimberly-Clark. They're the Huggies people, so Lexie & I have had similar experiences.

One time when Reagan was 1st born I had a pack of Huggies where two diapers' tabs were not glued on, they were just loose in the pack. I called to complain and they sent me a few coupons.
Recently I called Kimberly-Clark to rave about Viva Paper towels, Huggies, Kotex, and Cottonelle. I thought I'd get a ton of coupons because I was talking about all these KC brands I use. I ended up getting 2 $.50 and $1.00 coupons. But they're good on any KC product, so I'll find a way to make them valuable (probably when single rolls of Viva go on sale).

what site do you use to get Huggies coupons?
I went straight to the Huggies website, and there is a place that you can sign up to get stuff in the mail. They are wonderful about sending them on a regular basis.
Recently I pulled a Quizno's coupon out of a cereal box. I went to use it and found out that Quizno's decided to stop taking them long before the expiry date because they were losing money. Quizno's wouldn't do anything, so I called Kelloggs (makers of the cereal) and they recently sent me two coupons for any sized product for free.

I didn't realize how many coupons are on/in items I buy until I started paying closer attention. For a while Del Monte canned veggies had a coupon if you peeled the label off, it was on the backside. They also had coupons for a while on the card board container that fruit cups comes in.
