Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

    The short version: we collect only what we need to run Bargin, we never sell your data, and you can ask us to delete everything at any time.
  

1. Who we are

Bargin ("we", "us", "our") is a price comparison service accessible at findbargin.com. We are committed to handling your personal information in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR (for EU users) and CCPA (for California residents) where applicable. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at privacy@findbargin.com.

2. What we collect

We collect the following information when you use Bargin:

Email address — when you sign up for price alerts or create a Pro account.
Payment information — when you upgrade to Bargin Pro. We do not store your card details — payments are handled entirely by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. See Paddle's Privacy Policy.
Search queries — the products you search for, sent to our search providers (Google Shopping via SerpAPI, optionally Amazon) to return real-time prices.
Usage data — pages visited, features used, and general interaction data, collected anonymously via Vercel Analytics.
Push notification subscription — if you grant permission, we store a browser-generated token to send you price drop alerts. No personal data is in this token.

3. How we use your data

To manage your Bargin Pro subscription and billing
To send price drop alerts you have requested
To return real-time prices from our search providers
To improve search results and site performance
To prevent abuse of our AI features

We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell or rent your data to third parties.

4. Third-party services

Bargin uses the following third-party services that may process your data:

Paddle — payment processing and Merchant of Record, handles tax compliance globally (Privacy Policy)
SerpAPI — real-time product search via Google Shopping (Privacy Policy)
Amazon — product data via Amazon Product Advertising API (Privacy Notice)
Vercel — website hosting and analytics (Privacy Policy)

Merchant links on Bargin may be affiliate links. Clicking them may set cookies from those merchants. We do not control third-party cookies.

5. Cookies

Bargin uses minimal cookies and browser storage:

localStorage — to remember whether you dismissed the install prompt (no personal data).
Paddle cookies — set during checkout by Paddle's hosted payment page.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

6. Data retention

We retain your email address and subscription status for as long as your account is active. If you cancel your subscription and request deletion, we will remove your data within 30 days. Server logs are automatically deleted after 90 days.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
Deletion — ask us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten").
Portability — request your data in a machine-readable format.
Opt-out — unsubscribe from emails at any time using the link in any email we send.

To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@findbargin.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Children

Bargin is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Bargin after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
