1. Information We Collect
ThenPrice is designed with user privacy in mind. We do not require you to create an account, nor do we request or collect your name, email address, billing details, or physical address to use the public lookup tools.
We only collect limited, non-identifying usage data to maintain and improve the Service:
- Usage & Query Analytics: We log pages viewed, the specific items and years you look up, whether a result was categorized as verified or estimated, referring URLs, and standard browser/device user-agent information.
- Identifiers: We utilize a first-party session identifier stored in a local browser cookie (
tp_sid) solely to count unique, aggregate visits. This cookie contains a randomly generated value and contains no personally identifiable information (PII). - Technical Server Logs: Standard operational server logs are automatically generated by our infrastructure and hosting providers (e.g., IP addresses, access times) to ensure security and site stability.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We restrict cookie usage to essential operational functions:
- Analytics: A first-party session cookie is used to aggregate unique visitor counts.
- Administrative Security: Authentication cookies are utilized strictly for staff accessing the administrative backend dashboard.
- Third-Party Advertising: If advertising frameworks are integrated in the future (such as Google AdSense), third-party vendors may use cookies to serve and measure targeted advertisements. Any such implementation will be dynamically updated and disclosed in this policy. You can manage or entirely disable cookies through your individual browser settings.
3. How We Use Your Information
We process the limited data we collect solely for the following legitimate business purposes:
- To operate, maintain, optimize, and improve the performance of the Service.
