Privacy Policy

Welcome to Shopping – Buy Like King (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “App”). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application. Please read this privacy policy carefully. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE APP.

1. INTRODUCTION

Shopping – Buy Like King is an affiliate shopping application that lists products on discount from various third-party merchant websites such as AliExpress, Amazon, and others (“Merchants”). Our App allows users to discover these deals and then redirects users to the Merchants’ websites where they can make purchases. We do not process any payments or collect any financial information within our App.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the App depends on the content and materials you use, and includes:

  • Non-Personal Information:
    • Usage Data: We may automatically collect information about how you access and use the App, such as your device type, operating system version, IP address (which may be used to infer general location), access times, pages viewed, features used, and the order of those pages. This data is typically anonymous and aggregated.
    • Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, such as the device model, manufacturer, and operating system.
    • Crash Reports and Diagnostics: If the App crashes or encounters errors, we may collect diagnostic information to help us identify and fix issues. This information is typically anonymized.
  • Personal Information:
    • Currently, Shopping – Buy Like King does not require users to create an account, and therefore we do not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.
    • If future versions of the App include features such as user accounts, wish lists, or newsletters, we will update this policy accordingly and will only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us.

3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

Having accurate information permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the App to:

  • Operate and maintain the App.
  • Improve the App’s content, offerings, and user experience.
  • Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the App.
  • Understand how users interact with the App to develop new features and functionality.
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security vulnerabilities.
  • Provide customer support and respond to your requests or inquiries.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

4. AFFILIATE LINKS AND THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Shopping – Buy Like King is an affiliate marketing application. This means that when you click on a product listing or deal within our App:

  • You will be redirected to the Merchant’s website (e.g., AliExpress, Amazon).
  • These links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission from the Merchant if you make a qualifying purchase after clicking through our App, at no additional cost to you. This commission helps us to keep the App free and to continue finding great deals for you.
  • Once you are redirected to a Merchant’s website, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy. Any information you provide on the Merchant’s website will be collected and used in accordance with their own privacy policy and terms of service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party websites before providing any personal information or making a purchase.
  • We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of any third-party websites.

5. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information (if any is ever collected) to outside parties unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include:

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may share non-personal, aggregated, or anonymized data with third-party service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, such as data analytics (e.g., Google Analytics for Firebase, if implemented), crash reporting, and hosting services. These service providers will only have access to the information necessary to perform these limited functions and are required to protect and secure your information.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, (iii) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the App, (iv) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the App or the public, or (v) protect against legal liability.

6. DATA SECURITY

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect the limited information we may collect. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.

7. DATA RETENTION

We will retain non-personal information (such as usage data and device information) for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

8. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Depending on your location, you may have certain data protection rights. These may include the right to:

  • Access, update, or delete the information we have on you (if any).
  • Object to processing of your personal data.
  • Request that we restrict the processing of your personal information.

Since we do not currently collect personally identifiable information that would directly allow us to identify you, exercising these rights might be limited. If you have any questions or concerns about your data, please contact us.

9. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Shopping – Buy Like King is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold depending on the jurisdiction, e.g., 16 in some parts of Europe). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at the contact information provided below.

10. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App and updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. Your continued use of the App after the posting of changes constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes.
