- Email address — required to create an account (via magic link, Google, or Apple sign-in)
- Name — from your OAuth provider or provided by you (optional)

3. How We Use Your Information

- Protect the service — detect fraud, prevent abuse, and verify legitimate usage
- Secure your account — detect unauthorized access to your account
- Improve the service — understand usage patterns and fix errors
We do not:
- Sell your personal information
- Use your data for advertising
- Profile you for purposes unrelated to the service
- Rank or prioritize search results based on your personal data
4. Cookies and Device Storage
We use strictly necessary authentication cookies to keep you signed in. These cookies are HTTP-only, secure, and not accessible to JavaScript.
We also store minimal data on your device to enable core features such as session persistence and abuse prevention.
We do not use advertising, tracking, or third-party cookies.
5. Third-Party Services
We share data with third parties only as necessary to operate the service:
- Authentication providers — we use third-party sign-in providers. We receive only your email and name.
- Bot protection services — we use automated bot protection to verify legitimate usage. These services may process your IP address.
- Affiliate networks — we participate in affiliate programs. Click and purchase data is shared with affiliate networks for commission tracking.
- Email delivery services — we use a third-party provider to deliver price alerts, reports, and account emails.
- Error monitoring services — we may use error monitoring to identify technical issues. Personal information is automatically redacted before transmission.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Each service receives only the minimum data needed to perform its function.
Third-party practices: When you click a link to a retailer, you leave Lowest Listed and are subject to that retailer’s own privacy policy and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, data collection, or content of any third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any retailer you visit through our links.
6. Affiliate Links and Tracking
When you click a link to a retailer, the link passes through an affiliate network. This is how we earn commissions and fund the service.
What we record: We record click data including the product and retailer. IP addresses are anonymized after a limited retention period.
What the affiliate network does: The affiliate network may place its own tracking cookie on your browser to attribute purchases made on the retailer’s site. These cookies are set by the affiliate network, not by Lowest Listed, and are governed by that network’s own privacy policy. We have no control over and are not responsible for the data these networks collect.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Account information (email, name) | Until you delete your account |
| User-created data (watchlists, alerts, lists) | Until you delete them or your account |
| Search history | Until you delete your account |
| Affiliate click data | Anonymized after a limited retention period |
| Temporary authentication data | Automatically expires |
| Server logs | Automatically rotated |
When you delete your account, we delete your personal data and all associated records (watchlists, alerts, notifications, shopping lists).
8. How We Protect Your Data
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit, secure authentication practices, and automatic redaction of sensitive data from server logs.
We do not store passwords for user accounts, eliminating an entire class of security risk.
No system is 100% secure. While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a security breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
