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:

- 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). We do not use customer business data, in any form, to build benchmarks or cohorts
- 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 (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
- 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
We maintain separate data environments for each customer. Your business intelligence is never commingled with another customer’s data, and 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 privacy-focused analytics to understand platform usage patterns. No personally identifiable information is shared.
- 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.
