BRICKSOFINDIABOT
The bot that keeps LEGO® prices on Bricks of India up to date
WHO WE ARE
Bricks of India is an independent LEGO® price comparison and review site for India. BricksOfIndiaBot visits Indian retailers' websites to read the prices of LEGO sets, so readers can compare them in one place and click through to buy from the retailer.
It identifies itself with this user agent on every request:
BricksOfIndiaBot/1.0 (+https://bricksofindia.com/bot; bot@WHAT IT COLLECTS
Only public product information that any visitor can see without logging in: the product name and set number, the listed price, whether it's in stock, and the product page's address.
Nothing personal. It never logs in, never adds to a cart, never submits forms, and never collects information about people: no customer, reviewer or account data of any kind.
HOW OFTEN
We check prices every 6 hours. Within a visit it makes at most one request every 3 seconds to any one retailer, and it prefers the retailer's own product feed where one exists over loading many individual pages.
RULES IT FOLLOWS
It reads and follows each site's robots.txt, and agents.md where a retailer publishes one. It keeps a fingerprint of both. If either file changes, the bot stops for that retailer and writes nothing until a person has reviewed the change.
CONTACT
If you run one of these websites and want us to slow down, stop, or change what we read, email bot [at] bricksofindia [dot] com or use our contact form. A person reads every message, and we'll act on a request to stop straight away.
