Anonymized Product Price
In order for community to get latest prices, we require at minimum to share anonymized product price. Your Searches, Location, Profile remain private, if you set them so.
Products that have been recognized will be used to anonymously aggregate it to price history distribution.
How does price distribution look like?
For example, if 10 million people searched for price of a yogurt. This conceptually results in following data:
user 000_000_001: 10.5$
user 000_000_002: 12.0$
...
user 010_000_000: 15.0$We collect price information and collapse it into following result:
minimum price 10$
average price 60$
maximum price 100$This information does not identify you nor it is not linked to you. This information does not show exactly which searches or users were a foundation for this price distribution information.
Private searches, their image, text, location, time, and other information remains private.
You may also be aware that de-anonymization and security attacks are happening online and offline all the time by hackers, state actors, and other entities. We work hard to protect your privacy and security.
