Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026

PriceLock (pricelock.ai) is run by Gautam Bharti and owned by Bhartis LLC. It watches purchases you tell it about and emails you when a store will refund a price drop. This page says what PriceLock keeps, why, for how long, and how to have it deleted.

What you give us

• Your email address, to sign you in and to send the emails listed on What we'll email you.
• Order emails you forward to lock@pricelock.ai. We keep the text of the email, with card numbers removed, for 7 days and then delete it. From it we keep the order: store, order number, purchase date, items, prices and seller.
• Product links you paste, with the price you paid and the purchase date.
• Your alert amount, your email settings, and your answers when we ask whether a store refunded you.

We never ask for a store password or a card number, and we never sign in to a store for you.

What is recorded when you use the site

• One cookie, pl_session, set only after you sign in, to keep you signed in. No advertising or tracking cookies.
• Page views, counted by Vercel Web Analytics without cookies. Sign-in, account, unsubscribe and admin pages are not counted, and the codes in claim and referral links are removed before anything is counted.
• A record of which emails we sent you, so the same email is never sent twice.

How it is used

Only to watch the prices of what you bought, send you the emails you can see on What we'll email you, and read order emails better. We do not sell your data, share it with stores, or use it for advertising.

Who handles it for us

• Vercel hosts the website and counts page views.
• Neon stores the database.
• Cloudflare receives email sent to pricelock.ai.
• Resend sends PriceLock's emails.
• When an order email is in a format our fixed readers do not know, a language model running on a computer PriceLock operates reads it. The text is not sent to any AI company.

How long we keep it

• Forwarded email text: 7 days.
• Sign-in requests that are never used: 24 hours.
• Your account, orders and email settings: until you ask us to delete them.

Deleting your data

Email hello@pricelock.ai from the address on your account and ask us to delete it. We delete your account, orders, items, settings and email records, and reply when it is done. To stop only some emails, use the email settings or the unsubscribe link in the email.

Children

PriceLock is not meant for anyone under 13.

Google user data (internal keyword research tool)

PriceLock includes an internal tool that connects to the Google Ads API using OAuth, authorized only by the project owner for the owner's own Google Ads account. The tool requests the Google Ads API scope (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords) and uses it for one purpose: reading keyword planning data, meaning search volumes, competition levels and monthly search trends for keywords the owner enters.

• Access: read-only keyword planning requests. The tool does not create, edit or delete campaigns, ads, budgets, billing settings or users.
• Storage: the OAuth refresh token and client credentials are kept in the owner's operating-system keychain on the owner's own computer. Keyword results are stored as files on that computer for analysis. Nothing is stored on this website.
• Sharing: Google user data is not sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising. Aggregate findings (for example, that a phrase is searched about as often as another) may be published; raw account data is not.
• Other people's data: the tool does not offer sign-in to anyone other than the owner and does not access any other Google account.

PriceLock's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking the Google tool

The owner can revoke the keyword tool's access at any time from Google Account settings (Security, then Third-party apps with account access), which invalidates the stored token.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date above will change with it.
