Privacy

No accounts and no tracking cookies. We collect only what is needed to answer product lookups, run requested price trackers, protect the service, and understand whether it is working.

TrackOrBuy.com operates this site and decides how the information described on this page is used. You can reach us at privacy@trackorbuy.com.

What we collect

Looking up a product does not require anything from you. If you paste an Amazon link, we store the product and its price history so we can answer the same question for the next visitor too.

If you set a tracker, we only store your email address and the product you asked us to track. No password, no profile, no login. Just your email, your tracker, and a link to cancel it.

We also keep limited security and operational records, such as rate-limit counters, delivery state and error logs. IP addresses used for abuse prevention are stored as keyed hashes rather than in plain text. We also count how many times the Buy on Amazon buttons are pressed each day, by store and type of page, with nothing that identifies you.

Why we use it

• Product and price information is processed for our legitimate interests in operating and improving the service.
• Your email address and tracker instructions are processed to provide the notification you explicitly requested and to take steps at your request.
• Security, rate limiting and fault records are processed for our legitimate interests in keeping the service reliable and preventing abuse.
• We may retain information where necessary to meet a legal obligation.

Tracker confirmations and notifications are transactional messages you asked us to send. We will never add your email to marketing or mailing lists.

What we do not do

• No tracking cookies and no ad pixels.
• No selling your email address and no sharing it for advertising or general marketing.
• No behavioural profiling. We do not build a picture of you across sites.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages are used. It is cookieless: it sets no cookie, stores nothing on your device, and uses no cross-site identifier, so it cannot follow you to other sites or build a profile of you. It is the only third-party script on this site. Product pages may also load the product image from Amazon.

Who processes information

Cloudflare hosts the website and database. Our transactional email provider processes the address and message needed to deliver a notification. Amazon receives the ordinary request information your browser sends when you follow an Amazon link. We do not sell your personal information.

Some providers may process information outside the UK. Where that happens, we rely on the transfer safeguards provided by the supplier and required by UK data-protection law.

How long we keep it

• Delivered or abandoned email content and recipient data is removed after 30 days.
• Pending, leased or quarantined emails are retained while they still need delivery or operator action.
• If you have no active or paused trackers, your subscriber record and terminal trackers are removed 90 days after the last tracker ends.
• Using “cancel everything and delete my email” removes the subscriber record and its trackers immediately.
• Product prices and non-identifying aggregate operational records may be retained because they are not tied to your email address.

Amazon links

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Every Amazon link on this site and in our emails carries our affiliate tag. On the site each Amazon button is marked with an asterisk and the words * affiliate link appear beneath it; in our emails the same words appear with the button. You can see which link earns us a commission before you click, and clicking it does not cost you anything extra.

Deleting your data

Every tracker confirmation and notification email contains a manage link. On that page there is one button: cancel everything and delete my email address. It deletes the email and every tracker tied to it, immediately, with no further steps.

Your rights

You may ask for access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of or a copy of your personal information, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. The manage link in each email remains the fastest way to cancel trackers or delete your address.

Contact

Questions and privacy requests go to privacy@trackorbuy.com. Replying to any tracker email reaches us too. To cancel trackers or delete your address outright, the manage link in each email is faster than writing to us.
