Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 May 2026
1. General Information
The protection of your personal data is very important to us. This website is operated for informational purposes only and does not use advertising networks, tracking technologies, or profiling tools beyond those explicitly described herein. It complies with applicable data protection laws, including the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP/DSG) effective September 1, 2023, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Please note that this website is publicly accessible and its pages may be indexed by search engines (such as Google). As a result, publicly available content may appear in search engine results.
2. Data Collection and Usage
This website automatically collects certain technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, solely for security, error detection, and operational logging purposes. This data is not used to profile users or shared with third parties. It is stored securely and retained only as long as necessary to ensure the website's stability and integrity.
Publicly available content on this website may be discoverable via search engines, which may collect and display such content in their search results according to their own privacy policies.
Account Information: If you choose to log in via Google or Microsoft, we collect and store the following information in our secure database:
- Internal user ID - generated from your Google or Microsoft account identifier
- Name, email address, and profile picture URL - as provided by your authentication provider, if available
- Authentication provider - whether you logged in via Google or Microsoft
- Account creation date, last login time, and active status
- User role - for access control (user, moderator, or admin)
- Credit and access information - monthly credit allocation, credits used, credit reset date, account tier, and API/MCP request counters used to enforce daily and per-minute limits
- Optional API key metadata - if an API key is issued for your account, the key and its last update timestamp are stored
- Session token records - hashed session-token identifiers, provider, user ID, creation/update time, expiry time, and automatic time-to-live data
We use this information to:
- Verify your identity and maintain your login session
- Personalize your experience on the website
- Enable features such as saving cases, following customers or partners, alerts, API access, and submitting content
- Operate account limits, credit usage, and admin/moderator permissions
- Communicate with you about your account if necessary
When a new account is created, a limited notification email may be sent to the maintainer for operational awareness. This notification can include your name, email address, authentication provider, internal user ID, and account creation time.
We do not receive your password from Google or Microsoft. OAuth tokens and our own session tokens are used only to authenticate requests and keep you signed in. Your account data is retained until you request deletion, unless a longer retention period is required for security, legal, or abuse-prevention purposes. Third-party providers may process your data in jurisdictions outside Switzerland; we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect your personal information.

- Submitted URLs - any URLs and descriptions you submit for inclusion in our database
- Feedback and ratings - Any feedback or ratings you provide on use cases
- Search activity - for logged-in users, search queries, search type, source, filters, result counts, timestamps, and summary counters such as total searches and last search metadata

This website uses Microsoft Azure Application Insights to monitor reliability and critical errors.
