Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

1. Information We Collect

We collect your name, email, mobile number, and password (hashed) at registration. We collect search queries to power your history and recommendations. We collect payment information only through our secure payment processor (Razorpay) — we never store card numbers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide the comparison service, send price alerts you subscribe to, process payments, and improve our scraping accuracy. We do not sell your personal data to any third party, including the platforms we compare.

3. Search Data

Your search queries are stored and associated with your account to power your history. Aggregated, anonymized search data may be used to identify trending products and improve our platform.

4. Cookies

We use a single authentication cookie (cc_token) to keep you logged in. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

5. Data Security

All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. JWTs are signed and have a 30-day expiry. We conduct regular security reviews.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

CartCompare may earn affiliate commissions when you visit a platform through our links. These commissions do not influence how we rank or display prices — all prices are shown as-scraped, without modification.

7. Data Retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. You may request deletion by emailing privacy@cartcompare.in. Search history is retained for 1 year then auto-deleted.
