Haggle with confidence

Currency converter + fair price guide for SE Asian markets. Both sides of the deal feel good about it.

The Haggle Dilemma

You've done your research, your wallet is loaded with dong. But then...

Too Many Zeros

Your brain doesn't convert 910,000 VND to AUD in your head. Not in a queue. Not under pressure.

What should you pay?

Is this hat really $15 or $5? You don't know what things cost. You don't want to pay over the odds.

Everyone is so nice

You know a few words. Haggling feels rude. Offering a lowball feels worse. You just want a fair deal.

Fairness First

These sellers earn next to nothing. You don't want to squeeze them. You want fair deals for everyone.

You come to haggle over:

Sunglasses
Artwork
Souvenirs
Clothing
Silk
Jewelry

What is sent when sharing is on

When you log a purchase and the Share my deals toggle is on (it is on by default), Bobby Ho sends these fields anonymously to a community dataset — nothing else:

  • Item category ID and the label you entered (e.g. “Silk scarf”)
  • Market and city of the deal
  • Currency (VND)
  • Asking price and price paid
  • Whether you bought the item or walked away
  • App version
  • A randomly generated anonymous device identifier — a code created on your device that is never linked to you personally
  • Timestamp of when the deal was logged

Walk-away logs are stored locally but are not sent.

What we do not collect

We do not collect, and have no ability to access: your name, email, or any account; your precise GPS location; your contacts, messages, or photos; your payment card or banking details; or any information that could identify you personally.

Why

Shared data is aggregated and used anonymously to compute and improve the fair-price guidance shown to other travellers. It is not sold and not used for advertising.

Your local wins history

Your full wins history is stored privately on your device (browser local storage). It is not sent in bulk — only the fields above are submitted, one record at a time, when sharing is on.

Your choices

Sharing is on by default (opt-out model). Switch it off at any time: Settings → Community → Share my deals. Once off, no further data is sent. Past submissions are not automatically deleted.

Clear your local wins: Settings → Community → Clear my wins.

Request deletion of reports already sent under your device ID: Settings → Community → Remove my shared data. We will process this promptly.

Analytics

Bobby Ho uses Google Analytics for usage insights (page views, session counts). Analytics collects limited technical data including an anonymised IP address. This is separate from price sharing and is governed by Google’s own privacy policy.

Third-party services

When sharing is on, price reports are sent to a backend built on Google (Google Apps Script / Google Sheets). Google’s own data handling terms apply to data received by that service.
