Privacy policy
What visitor data we collect, how we protect it and when we delete it.
What we record on a visit
To count visits we record the time, your internet address after one-way encryption (we never keep the address itself), and a random code kept in your browser. We do not collect your name, email or location.
Retention
Visit records are deleted automatically after 90 days.
The GoldPriceHQ app
What you record in "My gold" in the app stays in your phone's browser and is never sent to us; you can export or delete it at any time. If you set a price alert, we keep the notification address your browser gives us to send it, and delete it 30 days after the alert fires or as soon as you delete it.
What your browser keeps
Your browser keeps your currency choice and any price alert you set; neither is sent to us.
Contact form
If you write to us we keep your message and any reply details you give, only to answer you, and delete it after a year.
Shop reviews
If you review or add a shop we keep what you write and the name you choose (optional), plus a one-way code of your address and a random code from your browser to stop repeats and abuse. What you write is published at once; what several visitors report is hidden until we check it. You can ask us to delete your review from the contact page.
Price photos
If you record a shop's price with a photo we keep the photo after removing its location and device data, and it is published at once with the price. Photograph the price board only, no people. Hidden photos are deleted after 30 days.
Third parties
We do not sell or share visitor data. Links to news and shops take you to their sites, each with its own policy.
Advertising
If we show ads in future, the ad provider may use cookies under its own policy; we will update this page before that.
