Who we are
SameSalt is an independent website that compares Jan Aushadhi medicines with branded products. For anything about your data, email buildwithhardikk@gmail.com. We reply within 7 days.
What we collect
- Your pincode stays in your browser, so the site remembers it next time. Only its first 3 digits are ever sent to us (see below). Clear it any time by clearing this site's data.
- Searches and requests. Search runs in your browser. To learn what to add next, PostHog records the words you searched for, products you ask us to compare, and whether you said a Kendra had a product in stock. With those we keep only the first 3 digits of your pincode (your rough area), never the full pincode. Don't type personal details into search or requests. If you leave an email with a request, it is sent to our inbox only, so we can write back once when that product is added. It is not stored anywhere else, not added to any list, and PostHog never receives it. Email us to have it deleted.
- Anonymous usage stats. Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights count page views and loading speed without cookies. PostHog records which pages and buttons are used (for example "Get on Amazon" or "Find a Kendra"), plus device type and an approximate location from your IP address. It uses a random ID kept in your browser. We never attach a name, email or phone number to it. PostHog may also save an anonymous replay of how the page was used (taps, scrolls and page changes) so we can find what's confusing. Anything typed into a box is hidden in those replays.
Other websites
Product photos load from the brands' own websites, and fonts load from Google Fonts, so those servers see your IP address. When you tap a shop link (Amazon, PharmEasy and others), that shop may set its own cookies so it can credit us for a sale. Their privacy policies apply there. If you send a tip, your UPI app, Buy Me a Coffee or Razorpay shows us the name and payment ID attached to that payment, as with any transfer. We use it only for our accounts. Shops tell us which products were bought through our links so they can pay us, but never who bought them: no names, addresses or contact details.
What we never do
- Sell or share your data with anyone.
- Show ads that track you across sites.
- Ask for health details or prescriptions. The only contact detail we ever ask for is an optional email with a product request.
Your choices and rights
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you can ask what we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Because we don't collect names or contact details, there is usually nothing tied to you. Email us and we'll check.

What “same salt” means
Same salt same active ingredient and strength. Close same active, different strength or format. Similar use different formula for the same job.
Where prices come from
Jan Aushadhi prices are official MRPs. Brand prices are listed MRPs from brand stores and large pharmacies, checked 26 Oct 2026, and every one links to its source.
How we make money
Some “Buy” links may earn us a commission. That never changes the order or the savings, which are worked out the same way for every brand.
Not medical advice
Products marked Rx are prescription medicines. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before you start, stop or switch.
