Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026. This policy describes how PriceKoala collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our price comparison platform.
1. Introduction
PriceKoala (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates pricekoala.com.au. We are committed to protecting your personal privacy in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
2. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide better price comparison and tracking services:
- Account Data: Email address and hashed password when you create an account to save wishlists or set up price drop alerts.
- Usage Data: Anonymous browsing logs, search queries, clicked retailer links, and price alert thresholds.
- Cookies & Storage: Local browser storage and essential cookies used to remember your wishlist items, compare trays, and session preferences.
3. How We Use Information
We use collected data solely for:
- Delivering price drop notification emails and stock watch updates requested by you.
- Improving catalog search accuracy, category sorting, and price history visualizations.
- Measuring aggregate outbound clicks to retailer partners to maintain affiliate funding.
- Preventing automated abuse and securing system infrastructure.
4. Third-Party Retailer Links
PriceKoala contains outgoing links to external retailer websites (e.g. Amazon Australia, JB Hi-Fi, Appliances Online). Clicking an outbound deal link transfers you to that retailer’s site, which is governed by their independent privacy policy and terms.
5. Your Data Rights
You have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, request corrections, or ask for account deletion at any time by contacting support. You may unsubscribe from any price alert emails via the link provided in the notification email.
