Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
At Top9deals (top9deals.com), we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights – written in plain language, not legal jargon.
What Data We Collect
- Usage data: Pages visited, deals clicked, and search queries – collected in aggregate and anonymised. We never tie this to your identity.
- Device & browser info: Browser type, operating system, screen size, and approximate location (country/city level) – used only to improve site performance.
- Hashed visitor identifiers: We generate a one-way hash of your IP + user-agent to count unique views and prevent fake deal-view inflation. The original IP is never stored.
- Wishlist data: Saved products are stored locally in your browser (localStorage). This data never leaves your device unless you are logged in.
- No account = no personal data: You can browse all deals without an account. We collect no name, email, phone, or payment information from unauthenticated visitors.
How We Use Your Data
- To measure which deals are most popular and improve our curation.
- To prevent spam and fake view/click inflation on deal listings.
- To understand device types so we can optimise the mobile experience.
- To generate anonymous, aggregate analytics that help us grow the platform.
- We never use your data for advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties.
Cookies
- Our cookies: We use a minimal session cookie to maintain your wishlist and preferences. No tracking cookies are set by Top9deals itself.
- Affiliate / merchant cookies: When you click a deal and visit Amazon, Flipkart or any other merchant, they may set their own cookies on your browser. These are governed by their respective privacy policies.
- Analytics cookies: If we use Google Analytics or a similar tool, it may set anonymised analytics cookies. You can opt out via your browser settings or a browser extension like uBlock Origin.
- You can disable cookies entirely in your browser settings – the site will continue to work, though some preferences may not persist between sessions.
Data Security
- All traffic to top9deals.com is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.
- We do not store raw IP addresses – only one-way hashes used for deduplication.
- Wishlist data is stored entirely on your device and never transmitted to our servers (unless you create an account in a future version).
- We regularly review our security practices and promptly address any vulnerabilities.
Children's Privacy
- Top9deals is not directed at children under 13 years of age.
- We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Third-Party Merchant Links
Top9deals links to external merchant sites (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, etc.). Once you leave our site, their privacy policies apply – not ours. We are not responsible for the data practices of any third-party website. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.
Your Rights (DPDP Act 2023)
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, you have the right to:
- Access: Know what personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data.
- Grievance redressal: Raise a complaint about how we handle your data.
- Nominate another person to exercise your rights in case of incapacity.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@top9deals.com. We will respond within 30 days.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Top9deals after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.
