Privacy policy

This is placeholder wording awaiting legal review. It describes how Searcher actually works, but it is not yet a finished agreement.
What we collect
Your email address, so you can sign in and so we can send you the weekly summary and account notices. We do not use passwords — signing in sends a one-time code to that address.
Your business details: name, website, the towns you serve, your services, and how you describe yourself. You give us these during setup, and we read your website to fill in what we can.
If you connect your website for publishing, the credentials for it. These are encrypted before they are stored and are only ever used to publish your articles.
If you connect Google Search Console, read-only access to the search performance data for the property you choose. We never request write access.
What we do with it
We use your business details to decide what to write about and to write it in a way that fits your business. We use your website's content to know what is true about you, so that what we publish is accurate.
We check where you rank in Google and whether AI assistants mention you, and store those measurements over time so you can see whether it is working.
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it to train anyone's models.
Who else sees it
We use third parties to run the service: Supabase for the database, Vercel for hosting, Anthropic to write articles, DataForSEO for rank and AI visibility checks, Stripe for payments, Resend for email, and Sentry for error reporting. Each receives only what it needs to do its part.
Stripe handles card details directly. We never see or store your card number.
How long we keep it
For as long as your account is open. If you cancel, the articles already published to your own website remain yours and stay where they are — they are on your site, not ours.
Ask us to delete your account and we will remove your data from our systems.
Your choices
You can see and correct everything we know about your business in Settings, and disconnect any integration at any time.
Email hello@searcher.so for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion.
