Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

What We Collect
To provide our price comparison service, we collect limited information:
We log the products you search for to improve our search algorithm and understand user needs. This helps us provide better results and identify trending products.
When you click on a product to visit a retailer, we record which products are most popular. This data is anonymized and used only for analytics purposes.
We collect your IP address to determine your country (US or Canada). This ensures we show you products available in your region and display prices in your local currency. We do not store precise location data.
We collect basic technical data like browser type, device type, and referrer URL to understand how users access our site and improve performance.
If you create an account to use the Watchlist feature, we store your email address and password (securely hashed). You can delete your account at any time.
