Privacy Policy
At Consumers Price we recognize that privacy is important. This Privacy Policy applies to all of the apps, services and websites offered by Consumers Price.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us through our website.
We offer a number of services that do not require you to register for an account or provide any personal information to us, such as Consumers Price Search. In order to provide our full range of services, we may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide - When you sign up for a Consumers Price Account or other Consumers Price service or promotion that requires registration, we ask you for personal information (such as your name, phone number, email address and an account password). We may combine the information you submit under your account with information from other Consumers Price services or third parties in order to provide you with a better experience and to improve the quality of our services. For certain services, we may give you the opportunity to opt out of combining such information.

We use cookies to improve the quality of our service by storing user preferences and tracking user trends, such as how people search.

These server logs may include information such as your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser. Also, in order to protect you from fraud, phishing, and other misconduct, we may collect information about your interaction with our services. Any such information we collect will only be used to detect and prevent fraud or other misconduct.

These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.
Consumers Price may share anonymous buyer behavior information with other companies or individuals outside of Consumers Price in the following limited circumstances:
- You opt-in to name your price and request to be notified. This information is stored in the Consumers Price platform and only anonymous information is shared.
- We provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- We have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce applicable Terms of Service, including investigation of potential violations thereof, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, or (d) protect against imminent harm to the rights, property or safety of Consumers Price, its users or the public as required or permitted by law.
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. We restrict access to personal information to Consumers Price employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
When we receive formal written complaints, it is Consumers Price's policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between Consumers Price and an individual.
Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes). Each version of this Privacy Policy will be identified by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
If you have any additional questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us any time through this web site.
