Privacy Policy

Effective November 4, 2026 · Operated by Suggested, Inc.

Competitor monitors public website pages that you choose to track. This policy covers the web app at competitor.suggestedapps.com the Competitor browser extension, and the Competitor Shopify app.

Information we collect

We store your account name, email address, securely hashed password, selected page URLs, monitoring preferences, public page snapshots, detected changes, and subscription identifiers. We process request IP addresses for abuse prevention and store hashed rate-limit identifiers temporarily; Hostinger may also retain standard access logs. We do not request GPS access or use IP addresses for location tracking. We store session tokens in a secure browser cookie on the web and in the extension’s local storage. The extension reads the active tab’s URL only when you open the add-page form; you decide whether to submit it. We do not collect your general browsing history, other tabs, page content from your browser, or information from private or signed-in competitor pages.

Shopify and product price tracking

The Shopify app uses Shopify session tokens to identify your store. We store the store domain, Shopify store ID, store name, installation status and subscription status. We do not request customer, order or catalog access. Shopify workspace access is shared by authorized store users. Store API access tokens used for verification are not retained. Shopify processes app subscriptions; the web app continues to use Stripe. Product tracking stores the public product URL, advertised price, currency, product name, product identifier when present, extraction source and check time. Price history is retained for 90 days; the latest successful reading remains while the URL is tracked. Public advertised prices may differ from checkout prices.

How information is used

We use this information to authenticate you, run scheduled monitoring, show comparisons, enforce subscription page limits, prevent abuse, and provide optional notifications. Our server requests the public URLs you add. Those sites may log the server’s requests. Notification permissions are optional and can be disabled in Settings or Chrome.

Providers

Hostinger hosts the app and database. Stripe processes subscription payments; we store customer and subscription identifiers but do not receive or store complete card numbers. If you enable AI summaries, limited excerpts and metadata from tracked public pages are sent to OpenAI to summarize detected changes. AI summaries are optional and can be enabled in Settings. The API request disables response storage; the provider’s own security and retention policies also apply. Do not track URLs containing secrets or personal information.

Retention and controls

Detected changes are retained for up to 90 days and cleaned up by the scheduled job. The latest snapshot is kept while a page remains on your watchlist. Sessions expire after 30 days. You can remove tracked pages, export retained data, turn off AI summaries and notifications, and delete your account in Settings after canceling any subscription. Account deletion removes associated app data; payment records may be retained by Stripe for its legal obligations. Hosting backups may retain deleted data for the provider’s backup retention period.

In Shopify, uninstalling Competitor stops monitoring and app billing. We remove the store workspace within 48 hours of receiving the uninstall event or on a valid Shopify shop-redaction request. Reinstalling before removal restores the workspace. We acknowledge Shopify customer data and deletion requests; no customer or order data is held by this app.

Sharing and security

We do not sell personal information or use extension data for advertising. Data is shared only with the service providers described here as needed to provide the service, or where legally required. Public page content is treated as untrusted and shown as text. No remote executable code is loaded by the extension.

Your choices and requests

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information. Contact contact@suggestedapps.com for privacy or account assistance. The service is intended for business users aged 18 or older.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our data practices change and identify the effective date. Material changes will be communicated in the app.
