Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
Who we are
Phone Price Index (“we”, “us”) is an independent website operated from Pakistan. For any privacy question, write to [email protected]. The same team runs Technologistan (technologistan.pk), Outlay and Stitchify.
What this site does
Phone Price Index shows phone prices and specifications for Nigeria and Kenya. We do not sell phones and we do not take payments.
What information we handle
1. Technical information in server logs. When you visit, our hosting and content-delivery providers automatically record your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you request, the date and time, and the page that sent you here. We use this to keep the site secure, fast and working. These logs are kept by the providers under their own retention policies.
2. Anonymous usage counts. When you open a phone page, add a phone to the compare list, or click a shop link, we record which phone, market and shop were involved and the time. We do not record your name, email address, IP address or any account, because there are none. We keep these counts for up to 24 months to see which phones people are interested in.
3. Information stored in your own browser. The site saves a few small items on your device (see the Cookie and Storage Notice): your compare list, whether you closed the header banner, and a marker that you already viewed a phone today. These stay on your device. We do not receive them.
4. If you email us. We keep your message and email address so we can reply, and delete them when they are no longer needed.
What we do not collect. We do not ask you to create an account, fill in forms with personal details, or give us payment details.
Advertising
We may show advertisements served by Google AdSense and, in the future, other advertising partners. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and to measure them. Google’s use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, and learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Ads are labelled where they appear. Where the law requires your consent for advertising cookies, we will ask for it first.
Links to shops and affiliate links
When you click a shop link you leave our site and the shop’s own privacy policy applies. Some shop links may in future be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you buy; this never changes the price you pay and will be clearly stated on the page.
Why we use information
- To run, secure and fix the site, and to understand what is useful: our legitimate interest in operating a safe, working website.
- To remember choices you ask for (such as your compare list): this is part of providing the feature you use.
- To show advertising that keeps the site free: with your consent where the law requires it.
Who we share it with
- Service providers that host and deliver the site (currently Hostinger and its content-delivery network), who process data on our behalf.
- Advertising partners such as Google, as described above.
- Shops when you click through to their website.
- Authorities, if the law requires it.
We do not sell personal data.
Links to other sites
We link to shops and to our own other sites (Technologistan, Outlay, Stitchify). Their privacy practices are their own.
Moving data between countries
We operate from Pakistan, our site is hosted in data centres run by our hosting provider, and our visitors are in Nigeria and Kenya, so information about your visit crosses borders. We use established providers and share only what the site needs to work.
Your rights
You can ask us to tell you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, stop using it, or give you a copy. Write to [email protected] and we will reply within a reasonable time and within any period the law requires. You can also complain to the data-protection authority in your country, such as the Nigeria Data Protection Commission or the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner in Kenya.
Children
The site is for general audiences and is not directed at children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Security
We use reputable hosting, HTTPS and access controls. No system is perfectly secure.
Changes
We will update this page when our practices change and show the date at the top.
