Privacy

Dirhamly is a free grocery price-comparison site for the UAE. There are no accounts.

What we keep

• Your delivery area is saved only in your browser (localStorage), along with a display setting. It is sent with each search so stores can price for your area. Clear your browser’s site data to remove it.
• Searches are sent to the stores we compare to fetch their current prices. We don’t keep a search history tied to you. Results are cached for about a minute so identical searches can share them.
• Anonymous statistics. We count page views and searches per day, keep the search words people type (with no IP address or anything else that identifies who searched), and keep the store prices we fetched so we can show price trends. Search words and prices are deleted after 60 days; daily totals after a year.
• Server logs record which page was requested, without IP addresses or search words.
• Server logs record which pages were requested, not who requested them. Your IP address is held briefly in memory to limit abuse and is never written to disk.
• If you use “Use my current location” or type an area, the coordinates or area name are looked up with OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim to find the area name.

Other services

The site is served through Cloudflare, and fonts load from Google Fonts. Both see your IP address and browser details when you visit. Store links open the store’s own website, which has its own privacy policy.
