Findvice policies
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Findvice processes while providing product-decision analysis, owner administration, and the public website.
Information Findvice processes
When you request an analysis, Findvice processes the product URL you submit and any optional target price or budget. Product identity, retailer offers, analysis evidence, and the resulting decision may be retained so the service can provide consistent results and maintain an auditable record.
Submitted URLs are sanitized before audit storage to remove embedded credentials and sensitive query parameters. Findvice does not ask you to place passwords, payment-card details, or account credentials in a product URL.
Customer and owner accounts use Google sign-in. In that context, Findvice receives the verified email and basic profile information needed to authenticate the customer and, for explicitly approved addresses, authorize owner access. Hosting and security systems may also process IP address, request metadata, device information, and diagnostic logs.
How information is used
- Identify the exact product and retrieve authorized retailer evidence.
- Generate and explain BUY, WAIT, or AVOID decisions.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the service.
- Prevent abuse and enforce rate limits.
- Maintain auditability and comply with applicable obligations.
Affiliate compensation, when available, does not enter the recommendation score and does not determine which decision Findvice returns.
Service providers and external sources
Findvice uses infrastructure and service providers, including hosting, database, authentication, and authorized commerce-data providers. They may process information only as needed to provide their services and subject to their own applicable terms and privacy practices.
A retailer link takes you to an external site. Purchases, retailer accounts, and information submitted there are governed by that retailer—not by Findvice.
Cookies and local storage
Necessary cookies support secure owner authentication. The public appearance control stores a light-or-dark preference in your browser. Findvice does not currently use that preference for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Retention, security, and your choices
Findvice retains information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes above, security, auditability, and legal obligations. No internet service can promise absolute security, but Findvice uses access controls, secret isolation, input limits, and database safeguards appropriate to the beta service.
To ask about access, correction, deletion, or another privacy request, email hello@findvice.com. Findvice may need to verify the request before acting.
Children and changes
Findvice is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy as the service adds customer accounts, alerts, payments, or new providers. A new version and date will be posted here before materially expanded processing begins.
