Privacy Policy
There are no accounts here. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number.
Effective 2026-09-14
Summary
- No accounts. No sign-up, no login.
- We do not collect names, emails, phone numbers or addresses.
- Only when you post a review do we store a rating and your text. The author identifier is an irreversible hash.
- We run no analytics. There is not one third-party analytics script on this site.
1. What we store
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Rating (1–5), review text, item ID, timestamp | Only when you post a review | To show it to other readers |
| Author hash | Same | To stop duplicate posts and flooding |
The author identifier is your IP address and browser string hashed together with a secret only the server holds. The raw IP and browser string are never stored, and the hash cannot be reversed. Whatever you type into the review body is published as written, so please do not put identifying details in it.
2. What we do not store
- Your AliExpress account, session, cookies or order history — we cannot see them.
- Listing text you paste into the second-hand comparison screen. It is used on that screen and discarded; never saved, never republished.
- We do not accumulate access logs for analysis.
3. What is stored in your browser
| Name | Kind | What |
|---|---|---|
alicheap.currency | localStorage | Your chosen display currency. Never sent to the server |
alicheap.lang | Cookie | Your chosen language, so we stop switching it by country |
You can clear both in your browser; the site works without them.
4. Third parties
- Cloudflare — hosts the site; connection data needed to serve it is processed there.
- Supabase — the database that holds reviews (Seoul region).
- AliExpress — item links take you to AliExpress, after which their policy applies. Our links carry an affiliate identifier saying you came from here.
5. Advertising
There are currently no ads on this site. We are preparing to serve ads through Google AdSense. Once ads are running, the following applies.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you; you can opt out of personalised advertising at Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info.
The first sentence of this section is edited the day ads actually go live. While it says “preparing”, no advertising cookies are being set.
6. Deletion and access
To have a review removed, send the item URL and roughly when you wrote it to Contact. We have no accounts and therefore no way to verify identity, so we judge by whether the request matches what is stored.
7. Children
This site is not directed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
8. Changes
When this policy changes we update the effective date above. The Chrome extension collects different things and has its own policy (in Korean) — extension privacy policy.
