1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name and email address via Clerk, our authentication provider. Clerk manages identity on our behalf and operates under its own privacy controls.
Payment Information
Subscription payments are handled by Stripe. We never store raw credit card numbers or full payment details. Stripe transmits only a customer reference ID to our systems.
Usage Data
We log which niches you research, which features you use, and general interaction data (e.g., pages visited, timestamps). This data helps us improve the Service and debug issues.
Scraped Public Market Data
The Service aggregates publicly available market data from platforms including Reddit, YouTube, Google Trends, and social media. This data pertains to market signals and is not linked to your personal identity.

- Process subscription payments and manage your billing relationship via Stripe.
- Improve existing features and develop new capabilities based on aggregate usage patterns.
