Privacy Policy

What QikDeal is

QikDeal is a price comparison tool for groceries, electrical and DIY products across the UK and Malta. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use it.

Accounts and personal data

QikDeal does not require an account, login, or any personal information to use. We do not collect your name, email or payment details.

Search data

To improve the product catalogue and speed up popular searches, QikDeal keeps a short-term, in-memory log of search terms (e.g. which products are searched for most often). This log:

• is not linked to your identity or IP address,
• does not persist — it clears whenever the server restarts,
• is used only to improve search results and pre-load popular products.

Cookies and local storage

QikDeal currently uses your browser's local storage (not third-party tracking cookies) to remember two things:

• that you've dismissed the cookie notice,
• which market (UK or Malta) you were routed to, for the current browser session.

If we introduce analytics or affiliate partnerships in future, this policy will be updated first to disclose any additional cookies before they're used.

Third-party services

QikDeal uses ipapi.co to detect your approximate country from your IP address, so we can show you the right market and currency by default. Your IP address is sent to ipapi.co for this purpose, subject to their own privacy policy. You can always switch markets or currency manually.

Outbound retailer links

Clicking a retailer name takes you to that retailer's own website in a new tab. Once you leave QikDeal, that retailer's privacy policy applies — we have no visibility into what happens on their site.

Changes to this policy

We'll update the "last updated" date above whenever this policy changes, and post material changes here before they take effect.
