Privacy Policy

Who we are and how to contact us

The service is operated by the Gold Today team. For any privacy question or request, email us at [email protected] — we respond within 7 business days.

Data collected by the mobile app

The app collects no personal data whatsoever: no accounts or sign-in, no names, email addresses or phone numbers, no location, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs of any kind.

Everything you enter in the app — settings (language, currency, country, theme), your gold portfolio, price alerts, saved comparison offers and price history — is stored locally on your device only and never leaves it. You can delete it at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.

When refreshing prices, the app contacts our servers and public price sources to fetch numbers only; as with any internet request, servers transiently process your device's IP address to deliver the response and protect against abuse, without linking it to your identity and without us storing it for identification purposes.

Price alerts use local notifications generated on your device: we operate no external push-notification servers and collect no push tokens.

App permissions

Internet: to fetch updated prices. Notifications (optional): requested only when you create your first price alert, and you may decline or revoke it in system settings at any time. Background refresh: to check alert prices and update the home-screen widget.

Data collected by the website

The website requires no registration and collects no personal data from visitors. It sets a single technical session cookie required for the site to function, and we currently use no third-party analytics.

Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider and the Cloudflare network record transient technical data (IP address, browser type, requested pages, request time) for security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting; these logs are rotated and deleted periodically.

Advertising and cookies (Google AdSense)

We may in the future display advertising on the website through Google AdSense. If enabled, advertising vendors — including Google — use cookies (including the DART/advertising cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google at adssettings.google.com, and opt out of personalized-advertising cookies from participating vendors generally at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.com.

For visitors from the EEA and the UK: personalized ads will only be shown after explicit consent in accordance with the applicable Transparency and Consent Framework.

Third-party services we rely on

To obtain prices we contact public data sources: gold-api.com and Swissquote (metal prices), open.er-api.com and jsDelivr (exchange rates). The website is delivered through the Cloudflare network for security and performance. Like any internet request, these parties transiently receive an IP address solely to fulfil the request; we share no identifying data about you with them.

Data sharing and selling

We do not sell, rent or share your data with anyone for marketing purposes. Since the app collects no personal data in the first place, there is nothing to share.

Children

Our services are suitable for general audiences (rated 4+ / Everyone) and we do not knowingly collect data from children. Because we collect no personal data from any user, the service is compliant with children's privacy requirements such as COPPA.

Your rights

Under the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), the EU GDPR and similar laws, you have the right to access, correct, delete and object to the processing of your data. Since we hold no personal data about you, your in-app data is entirely under your control on your own device and can be deleted immediately by removing the app. For any other request, contact [email protected].

Security

All communication between the app, the website and our servers is encrypted over HTTPS. There are no user databases to breach, because we store no accounts or personal data.

App stores

This policy satisfies the privacy requirements of the stores where the app is distributed: Apple App Store (privacy label: Data Not Collected), Google Play (Data safety: no data collected or shared), HUAWEI AppGallery, and Samsung Galaxy Store. The stores themselves may collect download and installation data under their own independent policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our services or legal requirements change; any revision is published on this page with an updated effective date above. Continued use of the service after a revision constitutes acknowledgement of it.
