Privacy Policy — CompareMyKart
Last updated: 8 June 2026
Effective date: 8 June 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how CompareMyKart ("we", "our", "the App") collects, uses, stores, and shares your personal information when you use our Android mobile application and related backend services (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is operated by the publisher listed at the end of this document.
By installing or using CompareMyKart, you confirm that you have read and agreed to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not install or use the App.
1. Who we are and how to contact us
App publisher: CompareMyKart
Contact email: support@comparemykart.com
Website: https://www.comparemykart.com

2. What CompareMyKart does
CompareMyKart is a price-comparison app for India that helps you find the lowest price for the same groceries and food across multiple delivery platforms.
- Groceries. You search for a product and we show you its live price across quick-commerce stores (such as Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket and JioMart), along with each store's current delivery time. No account or login is required to compare grocery prices.
- Food. If you choose to, you can connect your existing Swiggy and Zomato accounts (using each platform's standard phone + OTP login) so we can compare the same restaurant order on both and show you which one is cheaper.
The App does not place orders and does not take payments. You always complete your purchase on the store or platform you choose. CompareMyKart only displays comparative price information so you can decide.
CompareMyKart uses no accessibility service and no screen overlay. It does not read the screen of any other app on your device.
3. Information we collect
We collect only what is necessary to show you price comparisons. Specifically:
3.1 Information you provide directly
- Delivery location / address — so we can find the stores that serve your area and fetch their prices and delivery times. This may be your current location (only if you grant the Location permission) or an address you select using the in-app picker. It is stored as latitude, longitude, locality, pincode, and a free-text label (e.g. "Home").
- Phone number & OTP for connected food platforms — only if you choose to connect Swiggy or Zomato to compare food prices. You log in through that platform's own OTP flow. CompareMyKart never sees or stores your delivery-platform password.
3.2 How your connected food sessions are stored — on your device
When you connect a food platform (Swiggy or Zomato), the resulting login session is stored in encrypted form on your own device. It is not saved in our database. When you run a price comparison, your device sends that session to our backend only for the few seconds needed to fetch your live prices — it is held in temporary memory that auto-expires within about 90 seconds and is never written to long-term storage. You can disconnect a platform at any time, which removes the session from your device.
3.3 Information collected automatically
- Device information — Android version, device model, app version — used to send correctly-formatted requests and to debug crashes.
- Approximate or precise location (when permitted) — only when you grant the Location permission. Used to find serviceable stores near you and show their delivery times.
- Usage analytics & crash logs — anonymised information about which screens you visited, which actions failed, and stack traces of crashes. Used only to improve reliability.
3.4 What we do NOT collect
- We do not collect, view, or store your bank account, debit card, credit card, UPI handle, or any payment instrument.
- We do not collect your social-media accounts, contacts, photos, SMS messages, or call logs.
- We do not read the screen of any other app. CompareMyKart uses no accessibility service and no screen-overlay feature.
4. How we use your information
We use the data described above only for these purposes:
- To compare grocery prices — send your location and the product you searched to quick-commerce stores so we can show their live prices and delivery times.
- To compare food prices — with your consent and only using the food-platform sessions stored on your device, retrieve menu and cart prices from your connected Swiggy and Zomato accounts during the comparison you initiate.
- To save your delivery location so you don't re-enter it every time.
- To improve the App — diagnose bugs, identify which stores are unreliable, and measure how accurately we match products.
- To comply with law — respond to lawful requests from Indian authorities under applicable statutes.
We do not use your data for advertising-network targeting, profiling for credit scoring, sale to third parties, or any purpose unrelated to the Service. CompareMyKart does not use an advertising identifier.
5. How we store and secure your information
- We keep minimal data on self-hosted MongoDB instances running on virtual servers located in India.
- Connected food-platform sessions are stored on your device, not on our servers, and are only relayed through our backend transiently while a comparison is in progress (see section 3.2).
- All data in transit between the App and our servers is encrypted with HTTPS/TLS 1.2+.
- Access to the production database is restricted to our authorised engineering personnel and is logged.
No system is perfectly secure. While we follow industry-standard practices, you acknowledge that you provide your data at your own risk.
6. Sharing of information
CompareMyKart does not sell your personal data to anyone, ever.
We share data only in these limited circumstances:
- With the stores and platforms you compare (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy, Swiggy Instamart, Zomato, BigBasket, JioMart and similar) — exclusively to fetch the prices, products and delivery times relevant to your search or, for connected food platforms, to your account on your direct instruction. These platforms have their own privacy policies; please review them separately.
- With our infrastructure providers — Utho (Indian VPS hosting) and GoDaddy (DNS) — strictly for hosting the Service. They are bound by data-processing terms requiring confidentiality.
- With law enforcement or regulators — only when we receive a valid legal order under Indian law.
7. Permissions the App requests
| Permission | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Internet | Communicate with our backend and with store / platform APIs | Yes |
| Location (Approximate / Precise) | Find the stores that serve your area and show their live prices and delivery times | Optional — you can also pick an address manually |
| Notifications | Send you in-app notifications (for example, when a comparison is ready) | Optional |
You may deny any of these permissions; the App degrades gracefully where possible. CompareMyKart does not request the Accessibility Service, the "display over other apps" (system alert window) permission, a foreground service, or SMS access.
8. Data retention
- Saved delivery address — stored on your device, and on our servers only if it is associated with your use, until you delete it or clear the app's data. To request deletion, email us at support@comparemykart.com.
- Connected food-platform sessions — stored on your device only, and removed when you disconnect the platform or clear the app's data. They are not retained on our servers.
- Crash logs and analytics — kept for a limited period (typically up to 30 days) for debugging, then automatically deleted.
You may request earlier deletion at any time.
9. Your rights under Indian law (DPDP Act 2023)
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction of inaccurate or outdated data.
- Erasure of your data, subject to lawful retention exceptions.
- Withdraw consent for any processing that was based on your consent.
- Grievance redressal — if your concerns are not addressed satisfactorily, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India.
To exercise any of these, write to support@comparemykart.com with subject line "Privacy Request".
10. Children's privacy
CompareMyKart is intended for users 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, contact us immediately so we can delete it.
11. International transfers
Our infrastructure is hosted entirely in India. We do not currently transfer your personal data outside India. If we ever need to (for example, to use a non-Indian backup region), we will update this Privacy Policy and obtain your consent under the DPDP Act 2023 first.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be notified to you within the App at least 7 days before they take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
