What is the Prizio Data Service?
The Prizio Data Service is an automated system that collects publicly posted price information from supermarket websites in Honduras. This service is operated by Prizio to provide price comparison that benefits Honduran consumers.
Purpose
Our service aims to:
- Benefit Honduran consumers with price transparency across supermarkets.
- Promote healthy market competition by making prices more accessible.
- Help families find the best prices for their household purchases.
We do not use collected data for resale or direct commercial purposes other than price comparison.
Responsible Behavior
The Prizio Data Service is designed to be a "good citizen" of the web:
- Conservative rate limiting: Maximum 1 request per second per site.
- Delays between requests: Random pauses of 1-3 seconds between categories.
- Respects robots.txt: We check and log directives from each site.
- Respects Retry-After: If a server asks us to wait, we wait.
- Transparent identification: We clearly identify ourselves in every request.
- No authentication: We only access public pages, without login or credentials.
- No evasion: We do not bypass CAPTCHAs or protection mechanisms.
Data We Collect
Our service collects only publicly posted product information:
- Product names
- Current prices and list prices
- Availability status
- Product URLs
- Product images (public references)
- Barcodes (EAN/UPC) when available
- Personal data of third-party users
- Session cookies or authentication information
- Internal inventory information
- Data from private systems or internal databases
- Information requiring login to access
Access Frequency
Our service accesses sites daily to keep prices updated. Each collection session takes several hours due to our conservative rate limiting.

- Prices are factual data without intellectual property protection.
- We act for the benefit of consumers, aligned with the Consumer Protection Law (Decree 24-2008).
