Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to UnitPriceCheck ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible at https://unitpricecheck.com. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you visit our website, use our price comparison calculator, or communicate with us.

By using UnitPriceCheck, you acknowledge the data handling practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We differentiate clearly between information you actively choose to provide and technical data that may be processed automatically:

• No Account Registration: UnitPriceCheck is completely free and requires no account creation, registration, username, password, or profile information.
• Voluntary Communications: If you contact us via email, we receive the email address you send from, your name (if provided in your email client), and the content of your message.
• Automated Technical Data: When accessing our static site, standard network metadata (such as IP address and browser user-agent) is processed by our infrastructure providers to serve web pages securely.

3. Calculator Data (100% Client-Side)

When you use the UnitPriceCheck comparison tool, you may input:

• Optional product or brand names
• Item shelf prices
• Package sizes and net quantities
• Units of measure (e.g. ounces, grams, liters)
• Multipack item counts
• Display currency preference

All calculations take place entirely in your web browser (client-side). We do not transmit, collect, track, or store your calculator inputs, comparison results, or pricing figures on any server or database. Once you refresh or close your browser tab, entered calculator data is cleared from memory.

4. Contact Information & Support Inquiries

Our official public contact email address is contact@unitpricecheck.com. Information voluntarily submitted when reaching out to us is used exclusively to:

• Respond directly to your questions or inquiries
• Investigate reported calculation or website bugs
• Review feature suggestions and usability feedback
• Provide customer assistance

We do not sell, rent, or share your contact email address with third-party marketing lists.

5. Automatically Collected Technical Information

Depending on how the website is accessed and which services are enabled, certain technical information may be processed by hosting, security, Content Delivery Network (CDN), analytics, or advertising providers. This standard technical data may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type, language, and version
• Operating system and device category
• Referring website URL
• Pages viewed and timestamps of requests

This technical data is processed primarily to maintain website reliability, mitigate denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, detect security anomalies, and ensure fast global delivery of static files.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

UnitPriceCheck uses your browser's Local Storage solely to remember your chosen interface preferences across browsing sessions:

• Theme Selection: Preserves your light mode or dark mode preference.
• Display Currency: Remembers your chosen display currency symbol (e.g. USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD).
• Cookie Banner Dismissal: Records your consent banner selection so it is not repeatedly displayed on each page load.

This local preference data remains stored on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear local storage at any time through your browser's settings.

7. Advertising and Third-Party Vendors

To keep UnitPriceCheck free and accessible to all shoppers, we may display third-party advertisements on the website in the future (such as Google AdSense). When advertising is enabled on the website:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar identifiers to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements based on visits to our site and other internet destinations.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
• For more details on how Google processes data when you use partner sites, review How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

8. Third-Party Infrastructure Providers

UnitPriceCheck relies on reputable third-party service providers to deliver our static website:

• Cloudflare Pages: Static web hosting, global edge CDN caching, SSL encryption, and DDoS security protection.
• ImageKit: Responsive image optimization and global asset delivery for educational infographics.

These providers operate under their respective privacy policies and security standards.

9. How Information Is Used

We use processed information solely for legitimate operational purposes:

• Operating, maintaining, and improving the website
• Ensuring fast, reliable client-side calculation functionality
• Responding directly to user inquiries, bug reports, and feedback
• Monitoring infrastructure health, uptime, and security integrity
• Serving advertisements (if and when enabled)
• Complying with applicable legal and regulatory obligations

10. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Information is only shared with third-party service providers (such as hosting and CDN partners) as strictly necessary to operate the site, or when required by law in response to lawful subpoenas or court orders.

11. Data Retention

Calculator data is not retained and is deleted upon tab closure. For voluntary email correspondence sent to contact@unitpricecheck.com, we retain messages only as long as reasonably needed to address your inquiry or maintain necessary communication records.

12. Data Security

We employ industry-standard security measures, including HTTPS encryption in transit and secure CDN routing, to protect data processed through our site. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at contact@unitpricecheck.com so we can promptly delete it.
