Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data gonovu collects, how it's used, and your rights regarding it. We collect only what we need to run the service.
1. Who we are
gonovu is a web application that helps users find local businesses, specifically those without a website. The service is accessible at gonovu.com.
2. What data we collect
Account data
When you create an account, we collect your email address and any other information you provide through our authentication provider (Clerk). We do not store passwords directly. Authentication is handled by Clerk.
Search data
We store the searches you run (business type, keywords, location, and results) so you can access your search history and re-download results later. This data is associated with your account.
Payment data
Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your card details. We receive and store only the status of your subscription (active or cancelled) and your Stripe customer ID.
Usage data
We may collect basic server logs including IP addresses and request timestamps for security and debugging purposes. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.
3. How we use your data
We use your data solely to provide and improve the gonovu service:
- To authenticate you and manage your account
- To run searches on your behalf and store results for your access
- To manage your subscription and billing
- To respond to support requests
- To prevent fraud and abuse
We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with third parties for advertising purposes.
4. Third-party services
We use the following third-party services to operate gonovu:
- Clerk for authentication and user management
- Stripe for payment processing and subscription management
- Supabase for database storage (hosted in the EU)
- Vercel for application hosting
- Cloudflare for DNS, CDN, and tunnel services
Each of these providers has their own privacy policy and data processing terms. Data processed by Supabase is stored in EU data centers (eu-west-1).
5. Data retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Search history and results are stored indefinitely so you can access past searches, but you can delete individual searches at any time from within the app.
If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correction: request correction of inaccurate data
- Deletion: request deletion of your data
- Portability: request your data in a portable format
- Objection: object to certain uses of your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email address below.
7. Cookies
We use only essential cookies required to keep you signed in and maintain your session. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and using established cloud providers. No system is 100% secure. If you discover a security issue, please contact us immediately.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by a notice in the application. Continued use of gonovu after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
