This page explains what HAULS actually collects right now, as a pre-launch waitlist site.
HAULS is being built as a consumer intelligence tool: price history, honest discount analysis, and, eventually, a browser extension and an Android app that help you check a product before you buy it. Today, before any of that has shipped, HAULS.in is a waitlist site. The only thing it asks for is an email address, so we can tell you when the extension is ready.
This page describes what HAULS collects and does today, as a pre-launch waitlist site. It will be updated to cover the browser extension and Android app before either one launches.
HAULS is built and operated by Vishwajeet Trivedi, an individual founder, not a registered company. Everywhere else on this page, HAULS is referred to as “HAULS,” “we,” or “us.”
The current site collects exactly three things, and nothing else:
The site does not have accounts or logins today. The signup page shows a “Continue with Google” button, but it is disabled and clearly marked “coming soon”; it does not currently connect to Google or collect anything. The pricing page’s “Go Pro” checkout is a preview: it states plainly that payments aren’t live yet and collects nothing beyond the same waitlist email. No payment or card details are collected anywhere on the site.
We use your email address to send you a best-effort confirmation that you’ve joined the waitlist, and to let you know when HAULS launches. That’s the entire current purpose. If the confirmation email fails to send for any reason, your signup still succeeds, because the email isn’t a requirement for being on the list, just a courtesy.
We do not use your email to build an advertising profile, we do not use it for anything other than reaching you about HAULS, and we do not sell it.
Three service providers currently touch the data described above, each doing one specific job:
None of these providers are advertising companies, and none of them receive your data for any purpose beyond the one function listed above. HAULS does not sell or share data with advertisers.
HAULS does not sell your personal information, to anyone, for any reason.
HAULS does not share your browsing or shopping data with advertisers.
HAULS’s product design has no mechanism for a brand or seller to pay for better placement, a higher rating, or a more favorable recommendation, and none will be added without updating this policy first.
This isn’t a marketing line. It’s the reason HAULS exists: a tool that tells you the truth about a price only works if nothing else is competing for influence over what it tells you.
The waitlist database is only reachable through a server-side credential that never reaches your browser; there is no client-side path to it. Nothing about your session is stored or persisted on our end, since there is no login system today. Data you send to HAULS travels over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Every external input, including the waitlist form, is validated on our server before it is written anywhere, and secrets used to run the site are kept out of our source code.
We keep your waitlist email for as long as it serves the purpose you gave it to us for: reaching you about HAULS’s launch. We don’t currently have an automated deletion schedule or a self-serve “delete my data” button. If you ask us to delete your information, using the contact details at the bottom of this page, we will delete it from our database directly.
You can ask us, at any time, to tell you what we have on file for you, to correct it, or to delete it. Email us and we’ll handle it directly; there’s no separate form to fill out.
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 will eventually make rights like these a formal legal requirement, but its substantive provisions are not yet in force. We’re offering them now anyway, because a product built on trust shouldn’t wait for a compliance deadline to do the obviously right thing.
HAULS.in does not set cookies and does not use browser local storage for tracking. We use Vercel Analytics to understand which pages get used, cookie-free and without a persistent visitor identifier. It records aggregate page views and a small set of named events, for example a waitlist signup succeeding or failing, or a click on a methodology or blog link, tagged only with which page or feature the click happened on. It doesn’t collect your email, IP address, or any other personal identifier, and we don’t use it for advertising or profiling. We do not run any advertising or cross-site tracking script. If that changes, this section will be updated first, before the change ships, not after.
HAULS is intended for people 18 and older. We don’t currently have a technical age check on the waitlist form; by signing up, you’re confirming you meet this requirement. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and if we learn that we have, we’ll delete it on request.
Once HAULS is checking prices, that price and product information will come from pages on third-party shopping sites, and eventually from external product databases for grocery items. HAULS is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any marketplace, seller, or brand it reports on, unless we explicitly say otherwise. That data can be incomplete, delayed, or simply wrong, and we’ll always frame it as what HAULS observed, not as a guarantee.
Supabase, Upstash, and Resend are all global infrastructure providers, and may process data on servers located outside India as part of their standard operations. We chose providers that publish their own security and privacy practices, but we don’t control which specific data-center region each one uses to serve this account.
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we’ll update the effective date above and call out what changed, rather than quietly editing the page. Significant changes, like adding analytics or cookies, or the extension or Android app going live, will be reflected here before or as they happen.
2026-08-25: added Vercel Analytics, cookie-free page-view and named-event measurement, see Cookies and tracking and Who we share it with above.
