1. Overview

Half Price ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices, emphasizing that we do not collect, store, or process any personal information through the Half Price mobile application. Our app is designed to provide deal information without requiring user accounts or personal details.

Our Commitment:

  • No collection of personal information
  • No user accounts or registration required
  • Compliance with Australian Privacy Principles
  • Transparency in our privacy practices

2. No Personal Information Collected

🔒 Privacy-First Approach

Half Price does NOT collect, store, or process any personal information, such as your name, email address, phone number, or location data. You can use our app fully without providing any personal details.

Unlike many apps, Half Price operates without:

  • User accounts or sign-up requirements
  • Collection of personal or sensitive information
  • Tracking of user behavior or preferences
  • Location data or device identifiers
  • Any form of personal data processing

3. How the App Functions

The Half Price app provides information on weekly specials, discounts, and promotions from retailers like Woolworths and Coles without requiring any personal data. All features are accessible immediately upon installation.

App Features:

  • Browse real-time grocery specials and discounts
  • Compare prices across participating retailers
  • Search for products and deals anonymously
  • Access all features without registration

All deal information is sourced from publicly available retailer data and displayed without linking to individual users.

4. Data Security

While we do not collect personal information, we implement robust security measures to protect the integrity of the app and its data:

Technical Safeguards:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit
  • Regular security audits of app infrastructure
  • Secure cloud hosting in Australia
  • Access controls to prevent unauthorized access

5. Cookies & Tracking

Half Price does not use cookies, tracking technologies, or third-party analytics that collect personal information. The app may use minimal local storage to maintain basic functionality, such as caching deal data for offline access, but this does not involve personal data.

No Tracking:

  • No use of Google Analytics, Firebase, or similar tools
  • No collection of device identifiers or usage data
  • No push notification tokens or tracking

6. Your Privacy Rights

Since Half Price does not collect or store personal information, traditional privacy rights (such as data access or deletion) do not apply. However, we are committed to transparency and compliance with Australian Privacy Principles.

Your Rights:

  • Contact us with any privacy concerns
  • File complaints with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)
  • Use the app with confidence knowing no personal data is collected

7. Children's Privacy

Half Price does not collect personal information from any users, including children under 13. The app is designed for general use and does not target children specifically.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Since we do not collect personal information, notifications of updates will be provided through the app.
