Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 12, 2026

Auto Ship Genius is operated by PriceHacker LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). Our core promise is that we do not collect your phone number or email address to show you a price. This policy explains what we do collect and how we use it.

1. Information we do not collect

We do not require, request, or collect your name, phone number, email address, or home address to display prices or use any feature of this site. We do not sell, rent, or broker personal contact information to third parties.

2. Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our servers log standard access data when you visit: IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. We use this data solely for operating and improving the site (diagnosing errors, understanding traffic patterns). Log data is retained for up to 90 days and is not combined with any personal identifier.

3. Cookies and local storage

We use minimal, functional cookies -- for example, to remember your last route search preferences. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking cookies, and we do not sell your data or use it for behavioral advertising.

4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic patterns, such as which pages and routes are most popular, so we can improve price coverage and the site experience. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects usage data, including pages visited, approximate location derived from your IP address, device and browser type, and referring URL. GA4 does not store your full IP address. We do not use Analytics to build advertising profiles or to identify you personally, and we have configured it for measurement only. Google processes this data as described in its own privacy policy. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser.

5. Affiliate link tracking

When you click an outbound affiliate link to a broker, the broker's site may set its own cookies to track that referral for commission purposes. That tracking happens on the broker's domain, under their privacy policy, and is triggered only by your click. We have no control over it.

6. How we use data

We use collected data to:
  • Operate and maintain the site
  • Diagnose technical issues
  • Understand aggregate traffic patterns
  • Improve price coverage and accuracy
We do not use data for behavioral advertising.

7. Third-party services

We may use third-party infrastructure and measurement providers (hosting, CDN, error monitoring, and Google Analytics as described in Section 4). These providers may process server logs or usage data as part of their service. We select providers with appropriate data-handling practices and do not authorize them to use your data for their own marketing purposes.

8. Data retention

Server logs are retained for up to 90 days. Route search preferences stored in your browser (cookies/local storage) remain until you clear your browser data or they expire.

9. Your rights

Because we do not collect personal contact information, we have little personal data to provide or delete on request. If you believe we hold personal data about you and you wish to request access or deletion, contact us at the address below and we will respond within 30 days.

10. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be noted prominently.
