Terms & Conditions

Last updated: January 2025

Welcome to PhoneMatch India. By accessing or using our platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully before using the service.

1. Nature of Service

PhoneMatch India is an independent smartphone recommendation platform. Our recommendations are generated by an algorithmic scoring system based on user-provided preferences and publicly available device specifications. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any smartphone manufacturer or retailer.

2. Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on this platform lead to third-party retailers (such as Amazon India and Flipkart). We may earn a small commission if you purchase a product through these affiliate links. This does not affect the price you pay, and our recommendation algorithm is not influenced by affiliate arrangements.

3. Accuracy of Information

  • Device specifications and prices are sourced from publicly available data and are subject to change.
  • We do not guarantee that prices shown are current or available at the time of your visit.
  • Algorithmic scores reflect our system's analysis and should be treated as a guide, not a guarantee.
  • Always verify device specifications with the manufacturer before purchase.

4. Prohibited Use

  • You may not scrape, copy, or redistribute our phone database or recommendation outputs.
  • You may not attempt to access admin functionality without proper authorization.
  • You may not use this platform for any unlawful purpose.

5. Limitation of Liability

PhoneMatch India is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any purchasing decisions made based on our recommendations, price inaccuracies, or third-party retailer issues.

6. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights over that data.

Data We Collect

  • Quiz responses: Budget, usage preference, pain points, and software preference — stored anonymously in your browser's localStorage only.
  • Contact form submissions: Name, email, and message if you contact us. Used only to respond to your inquiry.
  • Aggregate analytics: Anonymous, aggregated quiz outcome data to improve recommendations. No personally identifiable information is collected.

What We Don't Collect

  • We do not collect your name, email, or phone number without your explicit consent.
  • We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising pixels.
  • We do not sell or share your data with any third party.
  • We do not track your device or browsing history across other sites.

localStorage Usage

This platform uses your browser's localStorage to temporarily store your quiz answers and anonymous outcome logs. This data exists only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Third-Party Links

Affiliate links point to Amazon India and Flipkart. These platforms have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their data practices once you leave our platform.

Your Rights

Since we do not collect personally identifiable information by default, there is no personal data stored server-side to request, modify, or delete. If you submitted a contact form and wish to have that data removed, email us at privacy@phonematch.in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions

Yes. Our recommendation engine is an algorithmic scoring system. You tell us your budget, usage style, dealbreakers, and software preference — we run those inputs against our phone database using a weighted scoring formula. No brand pays us to rank their phones higher. Affiliate commissions are earned only when you click a link and make a purchase, but they have zero influence on the scoring logic.
We aim to review and update the database monthly to add newly launched devices and remove discontinued models. Prices are indicative and reflect typical market prices at the time of last update. Always check the retailer for the current price before purchasing.
Your quiz answers are processed entirely in your browser and are never sent to any server. An anonymous, non-identifiable log (budget tier + usage type + winning model) is saved to your own device's localStorage to improve our aggregate analytics. No names, emails, or device IDs are stored.
Affiliate commissions help us keep the platform free for everyone. The key distinction is that we link to multiple retailers for every recommended device, and the affiliate link is only shown after the recommendation is made — it does not influence which phone ranks #1. Our scoring formula is based purely on device specs vs. your preferences.
Absolutely! We welcome feedback to improve our scoring model. Head to the Contact page and let us know what you expected vs. what you got. Include your quiz choices if possible — this helps us refine the algorithm.
Yes! Use the Contact form to suggest a phone. Please include the model name, approximate price, and why you think it deserves a spot. We review all suggestions during our monthly database updates.
