1. Introduction & Developer Identity
This Privacy Policy governs the use of Price Hop, a mobile application developed by Milan Sojan and Josh Jacob Sunil. We are committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring transparent data practices.
For questions, contact us at: milansojanm@gmail.com or joshjacobsunil@gmail.com
2. Information We Collect (Data Types)
Since the app has a wishlist, a feed, and push notifications, the following data is collected:
- Account Data: Phone number (required for login via SMS verification), email address (optional for notifications and account recovery), and name (via Google Sign-In or manual entry).
- Location Data: Pin code provided by the user to track which platform offers the fastest delivery for their location.
- App Usage & Preferences: Data on products viewed, wishlisted items, search history, and categories browsed (Electronics, Fashion, Beauty, etc.) to curate your personalized feed.
- Device Identifiers: Device ID (Android ID / iOS Identifier), IP address, device model, and operating system version required to deliver real-time push notifications for price drops.
- Affiliate Tracking Data: Click data when you click affiliate links to Amazon and Flipkart. These stores may place cookies on your device to track purchases for affiliate commission purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information (Purpose)
We use the information we collect strictly to:
- Synchronize your shopping wishlist across devices so you can track products for price drops.
- Deliver real-time price drop alerts via push notifications when products in your wishlist drop in price.
- Analyse viewing patterns to personalize your feed and show relevant deals based on categories you browse.
- Monitor app performance and fix technical crashes to improve features and stability.
- Compare delivery speeds across platforms using your pin code to show which platform offers fastest delivery for your location.
- Earn affiliate revenue when you buy through our links, which helps us maintain the app.
4. Third-Party Data Processing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share anonymized or technical data with third-party service providers to monitor application stability and user engagement. These third parties process data strictly under their own privacy protocols.
Third-party services we use:
- Supabase: Database hosting (stores your wishlist, account data, pin code, and app data)
- Firebase: Analytics (app usage tracking) and push notifications
- Google Sign-In: Authentication (login via Google, optional)
- CueLinks Affiliate Network: Universal affiliate tracking and redirect optimization across supported Indian e-commerce stores (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio, Purplle, Tata CLiQ, Snapdeal)
Affiliate Tracking & Revenue Disclosure:
Pricehop is a price comparison engine supported by its users. When you purchase through links on our app (such as Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, etc.), we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you through the CueLinks affiliate network. CueLinks and retailer stores may place tracking cookies or parameters on your device to attribute your purchase for commission purposes. This does not affect product pricing or ranking.
Automated Live Price Verification:
To provide you with the most accurate and real-time prices, Pricehop occasionally establishes secure, anonymous background connections (via "Incognito" browser modes) to third-party stores like Amazon and Flipkart. This process fetches public price data and temporary security clearance cookies. This process NEVER accesses, reads, or stores your personal login sessions, account details, or personally identifiable information (PII).
Intellectual Property & Trademarks:
All product names, logos, brands, and other trademarks displayed on Pricehop are the property of their respective owners. All company, product, and service names used in this App are for identification and comparison purposes only. The use of these names, logos, and brands does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with Pricehop.
5. User Rights & Data Deletion Mandate
You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time.
If you wish to delete your account and erase all saved wishlist, preference data, and pin code from our servers, you can do so directly within the App Settings screen by clicking "Delete Account", or by contacting us at milansojanm@gmail.com or joshjacobsunil@gmail.com.

6. Children's Privacy Compliance
Our application is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it immediately from our servers.
7. What We DO NOT Collect
For transparency, we want to clarify what data we do NOT collect:
- Full GPS Location: We do NOT collect your exact GPS coordinates or live location, only the pin code you manually provide

Last Updated: June 18, 2026
Welcome to Pricehop. By downloading, accessing, or using the Pricehop app ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the App. Pricehop is a price-comparison and product discovery platform.
1. Pricing & Accuracy ("As-Is" Clause)
Pricehop aggregates prices from various third-party e-commerce platforms (such as Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, etc.). Prices, availability, and offers change rapidly on these platforms.
Pricehop provides pricing data strictly on an "AS-IS" basis. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the prices displayed. The final price, availability, and shipping costs at the checkout page of the partner platform are the only valid details.
2. Third-Party Links & Transactions (Not the Seller)
Pricehop is not a retailer, manufacturer, or seller. We act solely as a discovery platform and affiliate partner.
When you click on a product link, you are redirected to a third-party website to complete your purchase. Pricehop is not responsible for fulfilling orders, processing payments, handling returns, or customer service related to your purchase. Any disputes, claims, or issues regarding a purchased product must be taken up directly with the third-party seller or platform.
3. Intellectual Property & Trademarks
All product names, logos, brands, and other trademarks displayed on Pricehop are the property of their respective owners.
All company, product, and service names used in this App are for identification and comparison purposes only. The use of these names, logos, and brands does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation with Pricehop.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
Pricehop participates in various affiliate marketing programs. We may earn a commission when you click on links to partner platforms and make a qualifying purchase. This does not affect the price you pay for the product.
5. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pricehop and its developers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from:
