Privacy Policy

Information we collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you choose to add one, your name. Your password is handled entirely by our authentication provider and we never see or store it ourselves.

We keep a record of what you search for, so we can show trending searches and suggest keywords as you type. If you add a product to your watchlist, we store which product it is and the price you want us to watch for. If you turn on price drop or coupon alerts, we store that choice along with a push notification token for your device.

We also keep basic activity logs, such as which products you viewed and which "Buy Now" links you tapped. This helps us understand what's working and keeps the lights on through affiliate commissions, explained further down. Like most apps, your phone also sends us standard technical details with every request, such as your IP address, which we use only to keep our search feature from being abused.

We never ask for payment or card details inside the app. You only ever enter that information on the retailer's own website when you complete a purchase there.

How we use your information

We use your information to run searches and show you price comparisons, send you the alerts you've asked for, remember your watchlist between visits, prevent abuse of our search feature, and improve the app based on what people actually search for and tap on.

Where the product information comes from

We don't run our own store and we don't own or sell any of the products you see here. The prices, photos, and offers in the app come from Google Shopping results for the United Arab Emirates, retrieved through a data service called SerpAPI. Prices and stock can change quickly, so always check the seller's own page before you buy.

Affiliate links and how we make money

When you tap "Buy Now," we send you to the seller's own website through a short redirect link. That link may carry an affiliate tag that tells the seller we sent you. If you go on to buy something, we may earn a small commission. This never changes the price you pay, and the seller, not us, handles your order, payment, delivery, and any returns.

Sharing your information

We share information with the services that make the app work: our authentication and database provider, our search data provider, and whichever affiliate network or retailer a link you tap belongs to. We don't sell your personal information to anyone.

How long we keep your information

We keep your account information for as long as you have an account with us. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within a reasonable time, except where we're required to keep certain records for legal or accounting reasons.

Your rights and choices

You can review your details, change your notification preferences, or delete your account at any time from Account details in your Profile tab. Deleting your account removes your watchlist, your notification settings, and your personal account record.

Children's privacy

This app isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has used the app and given us personal information, please contact us and we'll remove it.

Security

We use encrypted connections and encrypted backups to protect your information. No way of storing or sending data online is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your information safe and only keep what we need.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app changes. If we make a significant change, we'll let you know inside the app.
