Privacy policy
Updated:
Search Engine searches for products on the public pages of marketplaces and shows them in one list. The general search includes OLX, Uzum, Wildberries, Яндекс Маркет, Alibaba and AliExpress; Ozon is available only on its own separate page. We collect a minimum of data about visitors — only what is needed for the service to work and improve.
Who is responsible for the data
The data operator is Ecomdev Labs (Uzbekistan), the Search Engine service on search-engine.ecomdev.uz. If you have any questions about your data, write to [email protected] or on Telegram at @EcomDev_uz.
What we collect
We use Yandex Metrica, including Webvisor recording of actions on the page, and our own anonymous statistics. We record where visitors came from: campaign tags in links and only the previous website’s hostname, without its path or parameters. We also record page views, search results and duration, clicks and sanitized error messages. Personal information from forms (email, password, login code, contact details and feedback text) is not sent to analytics or session recordings. Both analytics systems are disabled when Do Not Track is enabled.
- Random browser code. It is created on your first visit and stored in your browser's localStorage. It is not a cookie, and it contains no name or contact details. On the server, the code is stored only as an irreversible hash. We use it to count how many different people visit and come back.
- Actions on the site: page visit, search phrase (first 80 characters), marketplace, number of cards found, card click, CSV download. The date is tied to the day in Tashkent time.
- Web server log. On every request to the site, the server records the IP address, time, request URL (which may also contain the search phrase) and browser type. The log is needed for security and for finding faults. It is kept for 14 days, then deleted.
- Login by email. If you log in to an account, we store your email, the date you registered and the date of your last login. If you set a password, we store only its irreversible hash (scrypt with an individual salt); the password itself is not saved and we cannot see it. Login codes (a backup way to log in, and password recovery) are stored only as a hash and are valid for 10 minutes. Logging in is needed so that you can search without limits and so that we can reply to your feedback.
- Free search limit. Without logging in to an account, you can do 10 searches per day. To count them, the server stores, until the end of the day in Tashkent time, an irreversible hash of the IP address (with salt) and a random number for each search. The IP address itself is not written to this table, and neither is the search phrase.
- Saved results. When you use the "Save results" and "Share" buttons, a snapshot is stored on the server: the query, marketplace, date, sorting, and the cards shown with the filters applied (no more than 200). For each card we store the marketplace, title, price, currency, seller, link, photo and, if available, the location, condition, rating, and the number of reviews and purchases. Anyone who has the link can open the snapshot; login is not required. Email, account data, IP address and browser code are not included in the snapshot, and the snapshot is not tied to an account. The list of links to your saved results is stored in this browser's localStorage; it is not synced with your account.
- Settings and comparison in the browser. localStorage also stores the selected theme and language, the last eight search queries, up to four cards added to the comparison, the login session (token and email) and the estimated search time. These lists are not synced with your account. You can delete them by clearing site data in your browser settings; until you do, they stay in this browser.
- Feedback. The message text, rating and contact — only if you provided them yourself.
- Telegram bot. If you connect the bot, we store your chat ID, your queries with a maximum price, and the list of links we have already messaged you about.
What we don't collect
- We do not write the IP address and browser data to our own database in plain form. The address is visible to the web server (the log above) and to Cloudflare, through which the site runs. It is used on the fly to limit the number of requests from one address, and as an irreversible hash it is counted in the free search limit (see above).
- We do not send advertising to your email: emails are sent only with a login code and as replies to your messages.
- We do not collect sellers' phone numbers and contacts. From a card we take the product name, price, photo, location, condition, link to the listing and the seller. The marketplace itself is shown as the seller, except Wildberries (the brand or supplier name from the product card) and OLX (the seller's name, if it is shown in the listing; this may be the name of a private person). If we connect another marketplace where the listing carries the name of a private seller, we will update this page before it is turned on.
- If Do Not Track is enabled in your browser, the visit counter is not sent.
Why we need this data
- to understand what people search for and what works poorly, and to fix the service;
- so that the bot can send notifications about new listings for your queries;
- to reply to feedback;
- to protect the site from abuse and failures.
The basis for processing is your consent: you give it when you send your email to log in, write feedback, use the assistant or the AI tip, or connect the bot. You can withdraw your consent at any time (see the section "How to delete your data"). We do not sell data and do not share it with advertising networks. If advertising appears on the site, we will update this page before it launches.
Who else receives the data
- Contabo GmbH — hosting. Its server holds the database (accounts, feedback, bot tracking, statistics, snapshots of results) and the logs.
- Cloudflare — network intermediary and site protection. All traffic passes through it, including your email when you log in and the text of your feedback.
- Browserless — cloud browser through which we search on Alibaba, AliExpress and Ozon. It receives only the search phrase.
- AI model providers receive text when you use the "Describe in your own words" assistant. The text you write goes through our gateway on the same server to an external model service. The service is chosen automatically: Google, Groq, OpenRouter, Cloudflare, Mistral, Cohere, Ollama, xKiro, SEA-LION, Z.ai or Alibaba. The list may change, and their processing rules and countries differ. We do not pass your IP, email or browser code to them and do not keep the text in our database. Do not include personal data in your description. The "AI tip" (comparison) and "Check results with AI" buttons send the same services your search query and data from up to eight cards: title, price, currency, marketplace, rating, number of reviews and purchases, condition and location. Links, sellers, photos, your IP, email and browser code are not sent, and we do not store the answer. The tip is sent only when you press the button. If at least one selected marketplace returns no results, none of the marketplaces that responded successfully returns products, and the dictionary offers no suitable correction, the original query may be sent automatically through the same gateway to suggest a different search phrase. Searching as typed skips this step. Do not include personal data in your search.
- Marketplaces receive the search phrase. In a general search these are OLX, Uzum, Wildberries, Яндекс Маркет, Alibaba and AliExpress; if you selected one marketplace, only that one. Telegram bot requests are sent on a schedule to the marketplace selected in the query: OLX, Uzum or Wildberries. The request is sent from our servers, not from your address; we do not pass your IP, email or browser code to them.
- Telegram — if you use the bot, the conversation goes through Telegram servers according to its rules.
- Your mail service receives the email with the login code from our server.
Your browser loads product photos directly from marketplace servers, so they see your IP address, just as when you visit their site normally. Links on cards lead to the marketplace, and from there its own rules apply.
Where data is stored
The database and logs are stored on a server in the European Union (Contabo GmbH), not in Uzbekistan. Data goes outside the EU to Cloudflare and Browserless (USA), Telegram, the marketplaces and to AI model providers when you use the assistant, the AI tip, or automatic query rewriting: they are located in different countries, including outside the EU, and receive data to the extent described above. By continuing to use the service, you agree to this transfer.
How long data is stored
- Web server log: 14 days.
- Login code: valid for 10 minutes, then deleted (within one day at the latest).
- Login session: 30 days.
- Action statistics and feedback: for as long as the service needs them. Automatic cleanup is not set up yet; we delete them on your request.
- Account and bot data: until you ask us to delete them or you disconnect the bot.
- Regular results are served from the server cache for no more than 10 minutes. A snapshot of results is written to the database only when you take an action, and it is not deleted automatically; it can be deleted on request if you give its link.
Marketplace data
Product cards are public information from marketplace websites. We are not a seller and are not responsible for the product, the price or the terms of the transaction: the price may change by the time you buy. Each card leads to the source.
How to delete your data
- Log out of the account: the "Log out" button in the header. Delete your account and email: write to [email protected] or use the feedback form, and we will delete them.
- Clear the browser code: delete site data in your browser settings.
- Clear the list of saved results in the browser: delete site data. This does not delete snapshots from the server. To delete a snapshot, write to us and give its link.
- Disable bot notifications: the command
/stop allremoves all your tracking. - Delete feedback or other data: write using the "Send feedback" form on the search page or by email, and give a contact for the reply.
We respond to such requests within 10 business days.
Remove content on request
If you are a marketplace representative, seller or rights holder and want us to remove a card, photo or the entire marketplace from the results, send a request: open a ready-made email or write to [email protected] with the subject "Remove content". In the request, specify:
- who you are (organization, position, contact for a reply);
- a link to the card or photo, or the name of the marketplace;
- what exactly to remove and why;
- what confirms your authority.
We will confirm receipt within 3 business days and review the request. If it is justified, we will stop showing these materials or disable the marketplace entirely. If the product has been removed on the marketplace website, it will disappear from the results at the next search. Previously saved snapshots are not updated automatically; give links to them in your request.
