Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

ANNZAR operates Annzar (annzar.com) and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding it.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account information: Name, username, email, password (hashed), profile photo, bio, and other profile fields you provide.
  • Usage data: Pages visited, features used, content interactions, time spent, and device/browser information.
  • Search and browsing activity (Proposed): When you use Annzar Search, we collect search queries, active filters, timestamp, result counts, and click-through interactions (including result clicked, rank position, and quick previews viewed). For signed-in users, query history is tied to your account to provide search history and personalized suggestions.
  • Saved searches and price alerts (Proposed): Queries you choose to save and product price watches you activate are stored to enable background monitoring and dispatch in-app notifications.
  • Payment information: Marketplace payments are processed by Lemon Squeezy. We do not store your card details.
  • Communications: Messages you send through the platform.
  • Uploaded content: Photos, videos, files, and other content you publish.
  • Cookies: We use cookies to keep you logged in and understand platform usage.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Annzar platform
  • Process and fulfill marketplace purchases
  • Send account activity notifications (controllable in Settings)
  • Deliver personalized search results based on public content, accounts you follow, and relevant community interactions
  • Maintain search quality, optimize ranking algorithms, and conduct anonymous A/B testing on relevance
  • Dispatch automated notifications for saved search alerts and marketplace price drop watches you have activated
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and Terms violations
  • Respond to support requests and comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Sharing of Information

  • With Lemon Squeezy: Purchase data is shared to fulfill orders and handle payment processing and tax compliance.
  • With service providers: Supabase (database/storage) and Vercel (hosting), under data processing agreements.
  • With search providers (Proposed): When web results fallback is required, anonymized query terms are sent to Brave Search API to retrieve web results. No user IDs or personal profile data are shared.
  • Across Annzar applications (Proposed): First-party Annzar client apps (such as the Annzar Android app and browser companion) query search services via secure API keys under this same policy.
  • For legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law or court order.
  • With your consent: For any other sharing, we will ask your permission first.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data while your account is active. Account deletion removes your account and profile, search history, saved searches, and the link between your account and purchase records. Some order and search-measurement records may remain. See our Account Deletion page for details.

Proposed Automated Data Retention Schedule (Pending Review):

  • Search query history: Automatically purged after 90 days. Users can clear recent history anytime.
  • Search click telemetry: Raw click-through logs are kept for 90 days, then aggregated into anonymous daily metrics and pruned.
  • Telemetry metrics & diagnostics: Performance events kept for 365 days; diagnostic error logs kept for 60 days.

5. Your Rights

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your account and data
  • Object to certain uses of your data
  • Request a portable copy of your data (including self-serve export of your posts, searches, and alerts via account export)

To exercise these rights: privacy@annzar.com

6. Cookies
