Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. What we collect

• Account data — name, email, and password hash you provide at signup.
• API usage — request metadata (endpoint, timestamp, key, latency) for billing, rate limiting, and abuse prevention.
• Query content — the search queries you send, used to serve and cache results.

2. How we use it

We use your data to provide and secure the Service, meter usage, improve result quality, and communicate with you about your account. We do not sell your personal data.

3. Retention

Usage logs are retained for a limited period for operational and billing purposes. Cached query results expire on a rolling basis (default 24 hours). You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

4. Security

Passwords are hashed (argon2) and API keys are stored encrypted. We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, though no system is perfectly secure.

5. Third parties

Search results aggregate publicly available third-party sources. We use infrastructure providers (hosting, email) solely to operate the Service; they process data on our behalf under contract.

6. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise them, contact us below.

7. Contact
