1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information to provide and improve our Services.
Business Data
When you use our analysis tools, we process publicly available data about your business and your competitors, including:
- Website content and structure (publicly accessible pages only)
- Product listings, pricing, and descriptions
- Public customer reviews from third-party platforms
- Competitor information available in public domains
The core of our product is analysis of information already visible on the public web, not the contents of your internal systems. What we do not collect: the Services do not accept protected health information. Scanning is outside-in on public signals, with no logins and no access to a practice management system. Submitting PHI is prohibited by Section 6.1 of the Terms.
Account Information
When you create an account or interact with our Services, we may collect:
- Name, email address, and company name
- Billing information (processed securely through our payment provider, see Section 4; we never store full credit card numbers on our servers)
- Account preferences and communication settings
- Business category and service type selections
Usage Data
We automatically collect certain information about how you interact with our Services:
- Pages viewed, features used, and actions taken within the platform
- Device type, browser type, and operating system
- IP address, approximate geographic location, and referring URLs
- Session duration and interaction timestamps
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Service delivery: To perform competitive analyses, generate findings, produce reports, and deliver the Fit-Funnel-Fix protocol results
- Analysis & intelligence: To process publicly available data through our proprietary diagnostic engine and provide drafted fixes for your review and approval
- Platform improvement: To improve our algorithms and develop new features using our own public-data corpus and aggregated product telemetry (which pages and features are used). Benchmarks and research we publish are built only from public data we gather. Customer Data (uploads, connected sources, revenue estimates and other inputs you provide) is used only to provide the service to you; it is never aggregated or anonymized into benchmarks, cohorts or research, and never used to train AI models
- Communication: To send account notifications, service updates, and respond to support inquiries
- Billing: To process payments and manage subscriptions
- Legal compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes
3. Data Storage & Security
We take the security of your data seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect it:
- Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
- SOC 2 status: SOC 2 Type I and HIPAA readiness are in progress. We do not currently hold a SOC 2 report.
- Access controls: Strict role-based access controls limit data access to authorized personnel only
- Infrastructure: Data is hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure
- Monitoring: Continuous security monitoring and regular vulnerability assessments
Security Note
Your data is logically separated per account. Your business intelligence is never used to train or improve models for other accounts.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
We work with trusted third-party providers to deliver our Services. These include:
- Payment processing: Billing is handled by Stripe, which maintains PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance. We never store full credit card numbers on our servers.
- Cloud infrastructure: Our platform runs on enterprise cloud infrastructure whose providers maintain ISO 27001 certification.
- Analytics: We use PostHog and Google Analytics to understand website use. The Cookie Policy below explains basic page counts, consented analytics and your controls.
- Communication: We use trusted email service providers for transactional and service communications.
- AI model providers: Certain analysis features are delivered using third-party AI model services. Our Data Promise applies: we do not use your business data to train AI models.
A current description of the third-party service providers material to your account is available on request at privacy@ontevo.ai.
We do not sell your personal information to any third party. We do not share your business data with other customers, advertisers, or data brokers.

If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information.

Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Ontevo uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our Services.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They help websites function properly, remember your preferences, and provide usage information to site owners.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Services to function and cannot be disabled. They include:
- Authentication cookies: Keep you signed in during your session
- Security cookies: Protect against cross-site request forgery and other threats
- Session cookies: Maintain your session state as you navigate the platform
- Load balancing cookies: Distribute traffic across our servers for optimal performance
Website Measurement
We use basic page counts and optional detailed analytics to improve the website. These measures help us:
- Understand which pages are most visited and how users navigate the site
- Identify technical issues and improve site performance
- Measure the effectiveness of our content and features
On eligible public pages, we send PostHog a page-load count and a broad source category before you choose. These counts use no cookies or persistent visitor identifier. They exclude full URLs, form values and advertising identifiers. PostHog receives connection information to process the request. Reject stops future counts. Detailed PostHog and Google Analytics measurement starts only after you accept website analytics; these tools may use cookies. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track stop this browser measurement. Advertising identifiers require separate permission; no advertising conversion or retargeting tags are enabled.
No Advertising Cookies
Ontevo does not serve ads. We do not build advertising profiles, and we do not share your browsing data with ad networks.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage cookies through the following methods:
- Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy or security settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may impact the functionality of our Services
- Platform Preferences: Use the banner or the footer's Privacy settings to accept or reject optional analytics and advertising identifiers. Reject also stops subsequent basic page counts. You can change your choice at any time.
- Opt-Out Links: For analytics cookies, you can opt out through the respective analytics provider's opt-out mechanism
