AVG SafePrice - FAQs

What is AVG SafePrice?

AVG SafePrice is a free browser extension that helps you save money in online shops and travel sites. AVG SafePrice selects the best prices from a database of trusted e-shops and displays them in the top right corner of your browser so you don't have to leave your shopping site.

I found a much lower price in another e-shop, why was it not included in the AVG SafePrice results?

AVG SafePrice aims to provide a broad range of offers and constantly works to increase the number of supported shops. There can be several reasons why a particular e-shop is not among the provided offers:

• A lower price was not found.
• The product has an extended delivery period or is not in stock.
• The product could not be identified.
• The e-shop is not a part of the supported sites.

How does AVG SafePrice select which offers to show?

AVG SafePrice aims to provide a broad range of offers. AVG is partnered with over 100,000 e-shops globally and is continuously working to increase the coverage of supported shops.

Currently, our database includes offers from major vendors in the following categories:

• Shopping
• Travel and accommodation
• Home security
• Health insurance
• Mortgages

Offers and coupons are selected from a list of supported vendors, for products that match your search and are in stock.

Can I add my own shop to the AVG SafePrice list?

There is currently no application process to have your shop verified and added to the supported sites. However, we may offer this option in the future.

Can I exclude certain websites from searching?

Yes. To ensure that AVG SafePrice does not search for offers or coupons when you visit a certain website:

1. Right-click the AVG SafePrice icon in the top-right corner of your browser, then select Options.
2. Select Custom list in the left panel.
3. Click Add site and enter the URL of the website you want to exclude from searching (for example, www.examplestore.com), then click Add.

What if there is a problem with a product I ordered from an AVG SafePrice recommendation?

While you shop, we inform you of cheaper offers among trusted e-shops. If there is a problem, we recommend that you contact the merchant directly for exchange, return, or refund procedures. When you purchase the product, the transaction is carried out through the merchant and not processed by AVG. Therefore, you should contact the merchant to resolve any issues regarding the order.

Why does AVG SafePrice show me offers that are not identical to my search?

AVG SafePrice aims to find better offers for the product you are searching. If your product specifications are not found, you may notice slight differences between the product you are searching for and the product that AVG SafePrice offers. This can also happen if the merchant does not provide correct product specifications. We recommend that you check the product offered before finalizing your purchase to ensure that the product meets your requirements.

Does AVG SafePrice collect data about my online shopping habits?

The purpose of AVG SafePrice is to select the best prices and coupons from a database of trusted e-shops and to display them while you shop. To display these offers, AVG SafePrice first collects data about pages and products visited. Your privacy is very important to us, and all data collected is completely anonymous.
