You can use the prices, search, comparison and calculator tools without an account. Just browsing collects only what any web server records, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, to keep the site secure and working.
An account is optional and adds the details described below. We do not sell your information and we do not share it for marketing.
| What | Why we have it |
|---|---|
| Server logs | IP address, browser, and pages visited. Used for security, fixing faults and keeping the site fast. |
| Anonymous usage | Searches, filters and page views, tied to a random ID kept in your browser, not to your name. Used to see which tools are useful. |
| Account | Your email, a securely hashed password (never the password itself), an optional name and an optional mobile number. Used to run your account and send alerts. |
| Email checks | One-time verification and password reset links. We store only a scrambled form of each link, and the links expire. |
| Favourites and alerts | The markets and commodities you save and the price alerts you set. |
| Referrals | Your referral code, and who invited you if you joined from a link. The public leaderboard shows only a first name and last initial. |
| Messages you send | If you use the contact form, newsletter or WhatsApp channel: the name, email, phone number, location, commodities or message you choose to give us. |
| Calculator inputs | Quantities and prices you type into a calculator stay in your browser or are used only to look up a price. They are not saved against you. |
Please do not send us sensitive information such as identity numbers, bank details or health information. We do not need it.
- to show prices and run the tools you use;
- to run your account, send verification and password emails, and deliver the price alerts you set up;
- to protect the site from abuse, fake accounts and automated scraping;
- to understand what is useful and improve it, using anonymous usage figures;

We use a small number of providers to operate BajarBhav.in. They handle data only to do their job for us.
| Provider | What they do |
|---|---|
| Railway | Hosts our website, application and database. |
| Cloudflare | Delivers the site securely, filters bot traffic and runs the sign-up check. |
| Resend | Sends our emails, such as verification, password reset and alerts. |
| Analytics, advertising and search tools. | |
| Oracle Cloud (Mumbai) | Stores our encrypted backups. |
| Browser push service | Delivers notifications, only if you allow them. |
We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the site and its users from harm.
We keep account data while your account exists. When you delete your account from My Account, your profile, favourites, alerts and notifications are removed from the live site.
For safety we keep encrypted backups. A copy of your data can stay in those backups until they are replaced in our normal rotation, which can take up to about 12 months. Backups are not used to bring a deleted account back to the site. Server logs are kept only as long as needed for security and debugging.
- passwords are stored only in hashed form, and email links are stored in scrambled form;
- the sign-in cookie cannot be read by scripts on the page;
- backups are encrypted before they leave our servers;
- sign-up, login and password reset include checks that make automated abuse harder.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever find that your data was exposed, we will tell you as the law requires.
- See and correct your email, name, mobile number and password in My Account.
- Delete your account and its data there too.
- Stop emails or push notifications using the controls in your account, the unsubscribe link in a message, or your browser settings.
- Ask us for a copy of your data, or to fix or erase it, through Contact.
