Privacy

What we keep, and what we don't.

Plain words, no small print. This page says what the site actually does today. If that changes, this page changes first.

The short version

  • You never need an account to look at anything.
  • Signing in with Google is optional. It is only for keeping a profile and registering things you own so you can rate them.
  • We don't send emails yet.
  • We never sell or rent your email or your profile to anyone.
  • No ads, and no tracking scripts from ad or analytics companies.
  • Write to [email protected] and we delete your account.

Looking around

Every page can be read without an account. We don't set tracking cookies. Our host, Cloudflare, sees your connection address when you load a page, the way every website host does, to deliver the page and stop attacks.

Signing in with Google

If you choose to sign in, Google tells us your email address, your name and a link to your Google profile picture. We never see your Google password. That is all we get from Google. Your browser keeps a sign-in token so you stay signed in; signing out removes it.

What we store if you sign in

  • Your account: the email address, name and picture link from Google, and when you joined and last signed in.
  • When you agreed to the Terms and Privacy Policy, and which version.
  • Things you register as yours: the product, and anything you choose to add, such as the month you bought it, where, the price, new or used, a gift, and any repairs.
  • Your ratings: the score, whether it still works, when you rated it, and any note you write.
  • Whether you agreed or disagreed with a statement on a product page.
  • Dates for when your next rating will be due, so we can ask later.

When you register a product we don't cover yet, we count its name so we know what to add. That count does not say who asked.

Proving it's yours (optional)

A rating counts toward a product's average once you show it's yours. You can send a photo of the product next to a one-time code, or a photo of the receipt. It goes to private storage that only we can open. A person looks at it, may note the purchase date and the seller from a receipt on your product, and the image is deleted after three days. We keep only the answer: approved or not.

Only you can see your own account, your products, your ratings and your notes. The database enforces this row by row: another signed-in person, or a visitor, gets nothing back.

What other people see

Product pages show counts and averages: how many owners, the average rating, how ratings change over time. Never your name, your email, your price or your notes.

Writing to us

The contact form keeps your name, your email, your message, the page you came from, and a scrambled version of your connection address that only stops floods. A person reads it. Handled messages are deleted after twelve months.

Searches that find nothing

When a search finds nothing, we keep the words you typed so we know what to cover next. They are not linked to you or your account, and only we can read them. Anything that looks personal, like an email address, a web address or a long number, is thrown away and never stored.

Public comments we read

Product pages start from public comments on Reddit and YouTube. Some of those come to us through the YouTube API Services, so YouTube's Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy apply to that part. We keep what comes from YouTube for no more than thirty days.

Where it lives

Accounts and ratings are stored with Supabase, a database company, in the United States. Pages are served by Cloudflare. A nightly backup copy of the owner data is kept on our own computers, and only the last fourteen nights are kept.

Deleting your account

Email [email protected] from the address you signed in with and ask us to delete your account. We delete it along with your products, ratings, notes, votes and dates. Your ratings stay only as anonymous numbers with nothing that points back to you: the product, the score, whether it still worked, new or used, the month you bought it, and when you rated it. The backup copies roll off within fourteen days. Google keeps its own record that you used Google to sign in; that part is between you and Google.

Age

Anyone can read the site. You must be 18 or older to sign in. The site is not for children under 13, and we don't knowingly keep anything about them.

Questions

Write to [email protected]. A person answers.
