Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data we process in connection with:

This notice does not replace the privacy policies of third-party websites or services that we link to or rely on.

• visitors to our website and public pages;
• people who contact us or submit forms through the Service;
• people who submit product suggestions, issue reports, or feedback; and
• where applicable, personal data that appears in public sources and is processed as part of operating, maintaining, explaining, or correcting the index.

The information we process depends on how you use the Service and whether you contact us directly.

We may use information we process to:

• operate, maintain, and secure the Service;
• display, update, explain, and correct the index;
• process submissions, issue reports, and feedback;
• respond to messages and requests;
• monitor performance, reliability, and abuse;
• improve product usability and operational quality; and
• comply with legal obligations and protect our legal rights.

Where EU, EEA, UK, or similar laws apply, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases, depending on context:

• our legitimate interests in operating, securing, maintaining, explaining, and improving the Service;
• your consent, where consent is required or appropriate;
• compliance with legal obligations; and
• where applicable, steps taken at your request before entering into a relationship with us.

We use technologies that are necessary to provide and secure the Service, such as maintaining session continuity, preserving essential preferences, preventing abuse, and supporting core functionality.

If you accept analytics, PulseGate also uses PostHog to measure public-site traffic and behavior such as pageviews, filter usage, search behavior, submit funnel progress, session replay, heatmap-style interaction capture, and related interaction patterns. If you decline analytics, that optional analytics tracking remains off.

For more detail, see Cookie Notice / Cookie Settings if available.

We may share information with service providers that help us operate the Service, such as hosting, storage, infrastructure, analytics, communications, and security providers, subject to appropriate contractual and confidentiality protections.

We may also disclose information:

• where required by law or legal process;
• to protect our rights, users, or systems; and
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset transfer, subject to applicable safeguards.

Our infrastructure may involve providers such as Vercel, Supabase, PostHog, and other operational vendors we use to host, store, secure, process, or analyze Service data.

Those providers act under their own contractual terms and privacy commitments when they process data on our behalf or as separate controllers where applicable.

Because some of our providers or systems may operate internationally, your data may be processed outside your country, including outside the EEA or UK where applicable.

Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use safeguards required by applicable law, such as contractual protections or recognized transfer mechanisms.

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including:

Different categories of data may be retained for different periods depending on purpose, sensitivity, operational need, and legal requirements.

• maintaining and securing the Service;
• responding to submissions and requests;
• preserving operational records;
• resolving disputes; and
• complying with legal obligations.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

To exercise rights, contact: [privacy email / rights request route].

• access personal data we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate data;
• request deletion of personal data;
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• request portability of data you provided to us;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Service is not directed to children under [13/16 depending on final policy decision]. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will post the revised version here and update the “Last updated” date above.

For privacy-related questions, requests, or complaints, contact: [privacy email / contact route].

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have rights under applicable data protection law as described above.

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under California law, including the right to know certain categories of personal information we collect and how we use them, subject to statutory limits and exceptions.
