Privacy Policy

What we collect

When you submit a price through our form, we receive whatever you provide: product name, price, store, and optionally your name, email, a photo, and the date you saw the price. If you email us at prices@sacgroceries.com, we receive whatever is in your email and may send an automated confirmation reply.

Why we collect it

Names and emails help us follow up if a price looks wrong or if we have questions about a submission. Photos help us verify prices. That is the only reason we collect any of this.

What we do not do

• We do not run ads. Some links to online grocery stores (like Amazon) are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase. This does not affect the prices we show or our recommendations.
• We use Google Analytics, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, and Ahrefs Analytics to understand how people use the site. These collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited and general demographics. You can opt out of Meta tracking via your Facebook Ad Settings.
• We do not sell, share, or give your information to anyone

Accounts & Premium

All core features — price comparison, shopping list, and store browsing — are free and do not require an account.

If you create an account to access premium features (price history, smart list optimizer, cross-device sync), we store your email address to authenticate you via magic link. We do not use passwords. Login emails are sent through Resend, our email delivery provider.

You're welcome to share your account with family or friends. Each login requires a verification code sent to your email.

Premium subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your payment card details — Stripe handles all payment processing. We store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status to manage your access.

Premium subscribers can sync their shopping list and favorites across devices. Synced data is stored on our servers and can be deleted at any time from your account page.

Cookies

If you log in, we set a session cookie (sacg_session) to keep you authenticated. This cookie is essential for account functionality and is not used for tracking. It expires when you log out.

Third-party analytics tools (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel) may set their own cookies. See the "What we do not do" section above for details and opt-out options.

Where your data is stored

Our website and API are hosted on Cloudflare. Account data is stored in Cloudflare's infrastructure. Shopping list data stays in your browser unless you're a premium subscriber with sync enabled.

Shopping List & local storage

The Shopping List feature saves your list and favorites in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device unless you are a premium subscriber with list sync enabled.

You can delete all locally stored data at any time using the button below.

Done — all local data deleted.

How long we keep it

Submissions, including names and emails, are kept for up to 6 months. After that, we delete them. If you want your information deleted sooner, email us and we will remove it.
