Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 24, 2026

At mockshopping, we value your privacy as much as your product knowledge. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you subscribe to our gamified shopping experience.

1. Information We Collect.

To provide a fair and competitive environment, we collect the following:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, and username.

  • Payment Information: We use third-party processors (like Stripe or PayPal) to handle subscriptions. We do not store your full credit card details on our servers.

  • Gameplay Data: We track which items you "Add to Cart," your answers in the Q&A sessions, and your response timestamps (down to the millisecond) to determine winners.

  • Device Data: IP addresses and browser types to prevent fraud and bot activity.

2. How We Use Your Information.

We use your data specifically to:

  • Manage your active subscription.

  • Calculate the "Top Added Products" for the nightly session.

  • Identify and announce the fastest winner of the Q&A challenge.

  • Prevent cheating, multiple account creations, and automated bot entries.

3. Data Sharing & Disclosure.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only share information when:

  • Service Providers: We share data with payment processors and hosting providers to keep the site running.

  • Legal Requirements: If required by law to prevent fraud or address security issues.

  • Public Leaderboards: If you win, your username (not your real name or email) may be displayed on our "Winners Circle" or live feed.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to keep you logged in and to ensure the "Add to Cart" functionality works smoothly throughout your session. You can disable cookies in your browser, but this will prevent you from participating in the live Q&A sessions.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard encryption to protect your data. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a unique password for your mockshopping account.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you.

  • Request deletion of your account and personal information.

  • Opt-out of marketing emails (though you will still receive subscription-related receipts).

⚠️ A Note on the "Game" Aspect

Because mockshopping is a speed-based game, we log your precise interaction time. By participating, you consent to our system recording your response speed for the purpose of fair competition.
