Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Happy2Purchase ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when users access our website and price alert services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, users agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information users provide to us

• Email address: used to create and manage price alerts, to send one-time passwords (OTPs), and to send notification emails.
• Alert details: information about the products and alerts that a user configures (for example, product links, alert thresholds, and alert preferences).
• Communication data: information users include when they contact us for support or provide feedback.

2.2 Information collected automatically

• Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device information, and approximate location derived from IP.
• Usage data: pages viewed, actions taken (such as creating or confirming an alert), timestamps, and referral information.
• Cookies and similar technologies: we may use cookies or similar identifiers (for example, an anonymous session cookie) to keep sessions consistent, remember certain preferences, and protect against abuse.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

• To create, verify, and manage price alerts, including sending OTPs and confirmation emails.
• To send price alerts and service-related notifications when the conditions configured by the user are met.
• To operate, maintain, and improve the Service, including monitoring performance and troubleshooting issues.
• To protect the Service, including detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• To respond to enquiries from users and provide support.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Depending on the jurisdiction, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract: to provide the price alert functionality requested by the user.
• Legitimate interests: to operate and improve the Service, maintain security, and prevent misuse, provided that these interests are not overridden by users' rights.
• Consent: where required, for example when a user creates alerts or agrees to receive emails from us. Users may withdraw consent at any time, but this may affect their ability to use parts of the Service.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain an anonymous session, remember certain choices, and protect against abuse. Users can usually control cookies through their browser settings, but disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the Service.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell personal data. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: with trusted third parties who help us operate infrastructure, send emails, process logs, or provide analytics, subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.
• Legal and compliance: when required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety or that of others.

Product links on the website may use affiliate identifiers (for example, Amazon Associates). When a user clicks those links, the respective marketplace may process additional data in accordance with its own privacy policy.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as it is necessary to provide the Service and for a reasonable period thereafter for backup, security, and legal purposes. When a user unsubscribes from an alert, we disable that alert and delete or anonymise related data in accordance with our retention practices, unless we are required to retain it for longer under applicable law.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

9. Your Rights

Depending on the jurisdiction, users may have certain rights in relation to their personal data, such as:

• Right to access the information held about them.
• Right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to request deletion of certain data, subject to legal limitations.
• Right to object to or restrict certain forms of processing.
• Right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, users may contact us at support@happy2purchase.com. We may request reasonable information to verify identity before responding.

10. Account Deletion

You can delete your account at any time from your dashboard. When a deletion request is submitted, your account is scheduled for deletion and you are signed out immediately. You have 14 days to cancel deletion by contacting support@happy2purchase.com. After the deletion date, your data cannot be recovered.

11. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If it is believed that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.

12. Third-Party Websites

The Service contains links to third-party websites and marketplaces, such as Amazon. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Users are encouraged to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes will constitute acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
