Tom, that most likely wasn't us.

We don't spider retailer websites. That means we don't follow links or go hardcore on building a database of products.

We hit your website:

* if someone has asked us information about a product url

* when we place an order

* weekly for regression tests

Ping us on contact@ and we're more than happy to jump on a call and describe exactly what we're doing. Most of the time we're completely un-noticeable except for the fact that you're getting more orders.

We know for sure nobody is spidering through us.

thanks for the confirmation. how do you get the product URL in the first place?
That's the app developer's responsibility.
Is there any caching that goes on here? I would presume not as the vendors prices could change prices / details at any point.
