Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 25, 2025
1 Introduction
Welcome to PriceFinder ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how our tool operates. This Privacy Policy explains the technical and legal conditions regarding your data when you use our web-based price comparison tool.
2 Data Collection & Local Storage
PriceFinder operates primarily as a client-side application. This means:
- No Backend Storage: We do not maintain a centralized database of your personal search history, IP address, or usage logs.
- Local Storage: We use your browser's
localStoragefeature to save your "Recent Searches" and your custom "API Key" (if provided). This data resides entirely on your specific device and is not transmitted to our servers for analysis. - Data Deletion: You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser cache or using the "Clear History" features within your browser settings.
3 Third-Party Processing (Google Gemini)
To function, this tool utilizes the Google Gemini API (Generative AI) to process your search queries.
When you enter a search term (e.g., "Philips Hue"), that text query is sent securely to Google's servers for processing. Google's use of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
4 Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. Please note that PriceFinder participates in various affiliate marketing programs.
This means that when you click on links to various merchant sites (such as Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.) generated by this tool and make a purchase, this can result in this site earning a commission. This comes at no extra cost to you.
Affiliate programs and affiliations include, but are not limited to, the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
5 External Links
Our tool provides direct links to third-party retailer websites. Once you leave our tool and enter another website, we have no control over that website's privacy policies or terms. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of every website you visit.
6 Disclaimer of Warranty
The prices and availability information provided by this tool are AI-generated estimates based on real-time web searches. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that the price listed will match the final price on the merchant's website exactly. Always verify the final price at checkout.
