Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Cheaper.dev collects, uses, and shares information when you visit the website, browse pricing data, click outbound links, or submit a website request.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate Cheaper.dev, including:

• Website request submissions: the URL you submit and any optional notes you choose to provide.
• Usage and technical data: basic request information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, timestamps, and error logs may be processed by our hosting, database, and security providers.
• Browser cache data: Cheaper.dev temporarily stores some pricing and image data in your browser memory to make the site faster.
• Outbound link data: if you click a third-party or affiliate link, that third party may receive information about your visit under its own privacy policy.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve Cheaper.dev.
• Display and cache regional pricing information.
• Review submitted website requests and add relevant websites to the database.
• Detect errors, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot performance issues.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cheaper.dev does not intentionally set tracking cookies for visitors. The website uses temporary browser-memory caching for pricing and image data. Our hosting, database, security, affiliate, or third-party service providers may use cookies, logs, or similar technologies according to their own policies.

5. How We Share Information

We may share information with:

• Service providers that host, secure, store, or operate Cheaper.dev.
• Database and infrastructure providers used to process website requests and pricing data.
• Third-party websites you choose to visit through outbound links.
• Authorities, courts, or other parties when required by law or needed to protect rights and safety.

We do not knowingly sell personal information.

6. Third-Party Services

Cheaper.dev uses third-party infrastructure and links to external websites, including VPN providers, subscription websites, product image hosts, and affiliate destinations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention

We keep website request submissions and technical records for as long as needed to operate the website, review requests, prevent abuse, resolve issues, and satisfy legal obligations. Temporary browser-memory cache data may expire automatically or be cleared when you close or refresh your browser session.

8. Your Choices

You can choose not to submit website requests or optional notes. You can also use your browser settings to clear site data or limit third-party cookies. If you want to ask about personal information you submitted, contact us using the email below.

9. Children's Privacy

Cheaper.dev is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10. International Visitors

If you access Cheaper.dev from outside the country where our providers or operators are located, your information may be processed in other countries with different data protection rules.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we may update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of Cheaper.dev after changes means the updated policy applies.
