🔒 Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 2026

💙 Our Commitment to Privacy

At CompareGo, we believe shopping tools should be simple, transparent, and respectful of user privacy.

CompareGo is designed to help users compare prices, browse offers, organize shopping lists, track spending, and communicate with retailers more efficiently.

CompareGo does not process payments and is not an online checkout or e-commerce platform.

📱 How CompareGo Handles Information

CompareGo follows a local-first approach to privacy.

Most information created while using CompareGo is stored directly on the user's device rather than being transmitted to or stored by CompareGo.

This helps users maintain greater control over their personal shopping information while continuing to benefit from CompareGo's planning, ordering, spending, and retailer tools.

💾 Local Storage First

A core principle of CompareGo is privacy through local storage. Most personal information created within CompareGo is stored directly on the user's device rather than on CompareGo servers.

This may include:

• Shopping Planner lists
• Quick Basket items
• Shopping preferences
• Spending records
• Receipt images
• Retailer Studio records
• Sales Ledger records

Because this information is stored locally:

• CompareGo cannot view it
• CompareGo cannot access it remotely
• CompareGo cannot recover it if browser data is cleared, the app is removed, or the user changes devices

🏪 Public Retail Information

CompareGo provides access to public retailer and promotional information, including:

• Retail offers
• Digital flyers
• Outlet locations
• Retailer profiles
• Product listings

This information supports price comparison, shopping planning, and offer discovery features.

💬 WhatsApp Sharing

Several CompareGo features allow users to share information through WhatsApp, including:

• Shopping Planner lists
• Quick Basket lists
• Order requests
• Retailer flyers

When users choose to share information through WhatsApp, the information is sent directly through WhatsApp and becomes subject to WhatsApp's own privacy practices.

🛒 Order Gateway

Order Gateway is a communication tool that helps users prepare shopping requests and send them to participating retailers through WhatsApp.

CompareGo:

• Does not process orders
• Does not process payments
• Does not manage deliveries
• Does not act as the seller of goods

Retailers remain solely responsible for product availability, pricing, fulfilment, delivery arrangements, and customer service.

📍 Location Information

CompareGo may use location information, where available, to help users discover nearby retailers, offers, and outlets.

This information is used only to support relevant app features.

🍪 Cookies and Local Storage

CompareGo uses browser storage technologies to provide core functionality and remember user preferences.

These technologies help store:

• Shopping lists
• Planner items
• Shopping preferences
• Spending records
• Retailer records

Users can clear this information at any time through their browser or device settings.

🛡️ Data Security

CompareGo takes reasonable steps to protect public retailer information and application functionality.

Users remain responsible for protecting access to their own devices and browser environments, particularly when storing personal shopping information locally.

👨‍👩‍👧 Children's Privacy

CompareGo is intended for general audiences and is not specifically directed toward children.

🔄 Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect product improvements, new features, or legal requirements.

The latest version will always be available through CompareGo.
