Effective date: 10 November 2026
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This policy explains how the operator of this FindGooLinks service ("we", "us") collects, uses, and keeps personal information when you request a search report. This is a search report service. We deliver listing links and related report materials. We are not a purchasing agent, and we do not buy, pay for, ship, or take custody of goods for you.
Contact: [email protected]. Merchant: Bytewise Studio. Payments are processed by Creem as our Merchant of Record; we do not store your payment card details.
1. What we collect
When you submit a search, we collect:
- Email address, so you can access your report and manage your credit balance.
- Search text you type, if any.
- Reference image you upload, if any, used only as a visual hint for the search.
- Consent record: the time you agreed to this policy and the Terms of Service.
- Request records: a request identifier, timestamps, compliance precheck outcome, credit events, and the resulting report (listing titles, links, prices, availability notes, and exploration screenshots).
- Payment records: the credit pack purchased, amount, and checkout/order identifiers from Creem. We do not store your payment card details.
- Technical logs needed to run and secure the service (for example, time of request and error codes). We do not use advertising cookies, and this site does not place a marketing or analytics pixel.
Email notifications are not sent yet. You use the report link on this site to view your results. Credit balances are stored for your email identity.
2. Why we use it
We use this information only to:
- run the compliance precheck and decide whether we can accept the search;
- perform the search you requested and prepare the report, when the home search worker connection is established;
- email you a transactional notice when the report is ready, and deliver the report (email notifications are not sent yet);
- keep a record of consent, charges, refunds, and refusals;
- secure the service, prevent abuse, and handle support or deletion requests.
Submitting the form is a request that we perform this service and email you about that same request. We will not add your address to a marketing list from this form, and we will not send promotional mail unless you later give a separate, optional consent.
3. How a reference image is handled
A reference image is optional. If you upload one:
- You must have the right to upload it, and it must not contain illegal content.
- We store the image on our application server (the foreign server) with a checksum, and we use it only as a visual reference for your search.
- When the home search worker connection is established, a search worker on a separate machine may fetch a copy of the image — and only the image, plus the search text and job limits — in order to look for matching listings. That worker does not receive your email address, name, or account identifiers.
- The worker must delete its copy when the job finishes. The image is not used to train models, build a public gallery, or sell or share profiles of customers.
- We may refuse or delete an upload that appears to violate the law, these rules, or our prohibited-category policy (including, for example, e-cigarettes, adult sexual items, counterfeit goods, weapons, and drugs).
4. Where it is stored
Your email, consent record, search text, reference image, and the report are stored on the foreign application server. Outbound customer email is sent only from that side (email notifications are not sent yet).
When the home search worker connection is established, the home search worker will not be a customer database. It may hold, for the duration of a job, the search demand and a reference-image copy, then delete that copy.
5. How long we keep it
- Search-worker copies of a reference image are deleted when the job completes or fails.
- On the foreign server, we keep the request record, report, email, consent record, and any reference image only as long as needed to deliver the report, handle follow-up or disputes, and meet legal duties. Our working retention period is 90 days from the date of the request, unless you ask us to delete sooner or we must keep a narrower record (for example, a refund or refusal log) for longer.
- Transactional email logs are kept on the same schedule.
6. Your choices and rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:
- access the personal information we hold about a request;
- correct an email address or other inaccurate data;
- delete a request, report, reference image, or email record;
- export a copy of a report we prepared for you;
- withdraw consent for future messages about a request (we may still need a minimal record of the original request).
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context advertising.
To make a request, email [email protected] and include the request identifier from your confirmation if you have it.
7. Children
This service is intended for people 16 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have done so, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Security
We restrict access to customer data on the foreign server, and we use signed, time-limited transfers between the foreign server and the search worker. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Do not upload images you would not want stored for the retention period above.
9. International processing
Your information is processed on the foreign application server. When the home search worker connection is established, the image and search demand may be briefly processed on the search worker that performs the job. Those machines may be in a different country from you. If you use this service, you understand that this transfer is required to deliver the report you asked for.
10. Changes
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date will change, and the current version will be posted at this URL. If we make a material change to how we use your email or images, we will present the updated policy before you submit a new search.
11. Not legal advice
This page is our operational privacy notice for this service. It is not a substitute for advice about your own situation.
