Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 September 2026
This Privacy Policy is general information about how we handle data. It is not legal advice.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Behtreen Qeemat ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use behtreenqeemat.com (the "Site"). Behtreen Qeemat is a free, Pakistan-based price-comparison platform. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible and to be transparent about what we do collect. You do not need an account to browse and compare prices.
2. Information we collect
- Usage and analytics data: pages you view, links you click, searches you make, device and browser type, referring pages, collected through tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.
- Technical data: your IP address, approximate location, and similar identifiers automatically sent by your browser.
- Approximate city (IP-based): we may estimate your city from your IP to show more relevant local pricing. If you select a city, we remember that choice.
- Preferences stored on your device: your chosen city and saved basket/shortlist are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device.
- Suggestions and messages you send us: whatever you choose to include, such as your message and an email address if you provide one.
- Cookies and similar technologies: as described in Section 5 and in our Cookie Policy.
We do not require, and generally do not collect, sensitive personal information. Please do not send us passwords or full payment card details.
3. How we use information
- operate, maintain, and display the price-comparison Site;
- show relevant local pricing based on your approximate or chosen city;
- remember your preferences and basket on your device;
- understand how the Site is used so we can improve it;
- respond to your suggestions, reports, and messages;
- display advertising and measure its performance;
- detect and prevent abuse, fraud, security issues, and technical problems; and comply with applicable law.
4. Third-party services we use
- Google, analytics (Google Analytics), tag management (Google Tag Manager), and advertising (Google AdSense).
- Google AdSense and other advertising partners, for displaying ads.
- Hosting, security, and infrastructure providers, that help us serve the Site reliably.
These providers may set their own cookies and collect data (such as your IP and interactions) under their own privacy policies. When you click an outbound link to a Store, that Store's own privacy policy applies to your activity there.
5. Cookies and your choices
We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, and advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, our cookie banner. See our Cookie Policy for details. Useful ad-choice tools include Google Ads Settings, optout.aboutads.info, and youronlinechoices.eu.
6. Data retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law. Analytics data is generally used in aggregate; suggestions/messages are kept as long as reasonably needed; preferences and basket data stay on your device until you clear your browser data.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's privacy
The Site is for a general audience and is not directed at young children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us so we can remove it.
9. Your rights and choices
Subject to applicable Pakistani law, you may ask what information we hold about you; request that we correct or delete information you sent us; object to or limit analytics/advertising using cookie controls; and clear device-stored preferences at any time. To make a request, email [email protected].
10. International data transfers
Some providers (for example, analytics and advertising networks) operate servers outside Pakistan, so your information may be processed in other countries. We rely on those providers' safeguards and privacy commitments.
11. Legal framework
We operate in Pakistan and aim to handle data responsibly within Pakistan's legal environment, including PECA 2016 and evolving data-protection legislation such as the Personal Data Protection Bill.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time and will revise the "Last updated" date above.
