Privacy Policy

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Price Hipster collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Price Hipster’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Price Hipster’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Price Hipster may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, for example, by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Price Hipster’s website choose to interact with it in ways that require Price Hipster to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Price Hipster gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account at pricehipster.com to provide a name and email address. Price Hipster collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Price Hipster. Price Hipster does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Price Hipster may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. For instance, Price Hipster may monitor the popularity of certain products on the pricehipster.com website. Price Hipster may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Price Hipster does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Price Hipster discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Price Hipster’s behalf or to provide services available at Price Hipster’s website, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organisations may be located outside of your home country; by using Price Hipster’s website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Price Hipster will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying or personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organisations, as described above, Price Hipster discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Price Hipster believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Price Hipster, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the Price Hipster website and have supplied your email address, Price Hipster may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Price Hipster and our products. You can opt out of Price Hipster news or daily deals emails with one click in your dashboard when signed in to the Price Hipster website. Price Hipster takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
