Privacy Policy

dupe.watch ("we", "us", "the Site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights with respect to it. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

2a. Information you provide

When you use the search form, we log the query you submitted (e.g. a URL, watch model name, or strap type) along with the number of results returned and a timestamp. We do not collect your name, email address, or any identifying information unless you contact us directly.

2b. Usage data

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, referral sources, and approximate geographic region. This data does not identify you personally.

We track clicks on AliExpress affiliate links in aggregate (product title, source domain, timestamp) to understand which search results are useful. No personal data is attached to click records.

2c. Automatically collected data

Like all websites, our hosting provider (Vercel) may collect standard server logs including IP addresses and request metadata. This data is retained according to Vercel's own privacy policy and is not accessible to us in identified form.

We use collected data to:

• Improve search results and product discovery quality
• Identify popular watch models and strap types to support better
• Measure which affiliate links result in purchases
• Monitor for technical errors and improve Site reliability
• Understand which third-party retailer sites users want us to support

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

The Site uses cookies set by Google Analytics to collect aggregated usage statistics. These cookies do not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

AliExpress and other third-party sites linked from the Site may set their own cookies when you visit them. We have no control over those cookies and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.

This Site contains affiliate links to AliExpress. When you click these links, AliExpress may collect data about your visit and purchase in accordance with their privacy policy. dupe.watch only receives aggregated commission data — we do not receive your personal details, payment information, or order history from AliExpress.

Search queries and click data are stored in Vercel's cloud infrastructure (United States). We implement reasonable security measures to protect stored data. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain search and click logs indefinitely for analytics purposes. If you would like your query data deleted, contact us and we will make reasonable efforts to comply.

dupe.watch is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the Site, please contact us and we will delete it.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of data we hold about you. Because we do not collect personally identifiable information through normal use of the Site, most requests can be satisfied simply by not using the Site's search features.

If you have a specific privacy request, contact us via our contact page.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will indicate the date of the most recent update at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
