Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
MedCompare is an informational website that compares publicly available medicine prices between the United States and India. This policy explains what limited information we handle when you use the site. It is a general summary, not legal advice; you should have it reviewed by a qualified professional before relying on it for your jurisdiction.
Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, contact details, health information, or payment information to browse the site. The information involved is limited to:
- Usage and device data — standard technical information (such as browser type, approximate region, and pages viewed) collected by our privacy-conscious analytics to understand aggregate traffic. It is not used to identify you personally.
- On-device preferences — your theme choice and your saved (“favorite”) medicines are stored locally in your own browser. They stay on your device and are not transmitted to us.
Cookies and local storage
We use minimal cookies and browser local storage strictly to remember display preferences and to run aggregate analytics. We do not use advertising cookies or sell personal data. You can clear this data at any time from your browser settings.
How we use information
Aggregate, non-identifying usage data is used only to operate, secure, and improve the site — for example, to see which medicines people look for so we can prioritise adding prices. We do not build advertising profiles.
Third-party services
The site may rely on third-party infrastructure (such as hosting and analytics providers) that process technical data on our behalf. Outbound links to pharmacies, hospitals, or reference sources are governed by those third parties’ own privacy policies, which we do not control.
Health information
MedCompare is not a healthcare provider and does not knowingly collect medical or health records. Prices shown are general reference figures, not a record of any prescription or treatment. Please see our medical disclaimer.
Children
The site is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.

Questions about this policy can be sent through the contact or suggestion channel listed on the site.
