Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 27, 2026
At DotCompare.zw ("DotCompare", "we", "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have when using our price comparison platform.
Information We Collect
On-site interactions
When you browse DotCompare (for example, opening categories, searching, or viewing comparisons), we may process those interactions to show relevant results and to keep the site reliable and fast.
Usage Data
We may collect basic technical and usage information (such as pages viewed, approximate time on page, device/browser type, and error diagnostics) to improve performance, fix bugs, and understand what features are most useful.
Approximate location (optional)
If available, we may use approximate location (for example, country/city level) to present location-relevant information. We do not require precise GPS location to use the site.
Voluntary submissions
If you choose to contact us (for example by email or WhatsApp) to submit a price update or feedback, we will receive the information you share. This may include your message content and any contact details included in that message.
How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
- Provide price comparison and market information features
- Improve and optimize our website performance
- Analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience
- Respond to feedback and price submissions you send us
- Prevent fraud and ensure service security
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We use:
- HTTPS encryption for all data transfers
- Regular security audits and updates
- Limited data retention policies
Third-Party Services
DotCompare may rely on third-party infrastructure providers (for example, hosting, content delivery, and error monitoring) to operate reliably and securely. These providers may process limited technical data as part of providing their services to us.
When you click a link to a provider/retailer or external source, you leave DotCompare and are subject to the third party's privacy policy.
Cookies
We may use minimal cookies or similar technologies for essential site functionality (for example, remembering preferences) and to keep the site secure. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.

You have the right to:
- Access the information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
