Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2025

This policy explains what data searchly.app collects, how it is used, and your rights as a user.

1. Information We Collect

  • Data and URLs
    When you upload data or submit a data URL, it is used solely to process your search request. It is deleted immediately after the results are returned. It is not stored, analyzed for secondary purposes, used to train machine learning models, or shared with any third party.
  • Technical Data
    Standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, and request timestamp. This data is used solely for security monitoring and abuse prevention. It is not linked to your searches or used to identify you.
  • No Account Data
    Searchly.app does not require registration. We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or payment information.

2. How We Use Data

We use the data we collect only to:

  • Process your data search request
  • Maintain the security and integrity of the service
  • Diagnose technical issues
We do not use any collected data for advertising, profiling, or marketing purposes.

3. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your data to third parties. Data may be disclosed only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Infrastructure providers
    Hosting and CDN partners process data strictly on our behalf under confidentiality agreements. They have no independent right to use your data.
  • Legal requirements
    We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users or the service.
  • Business transfers
    In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may be transferred subject to the same terms of this policy.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use only functional cookies necessary for the site to operate. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral analytics, or cross-site tracking tools. You may turn off cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect site functionality.

5. Data Retention

Uploaded data and URLs are deleted immediately after your search results are generated. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security purposes and are not linked to individual users.

6. Your Rights

If you are located in the EU (GDPR), California (CCPA), or another jurisdiction with applicable data protection laws, you have rights, including the right to access, correct, and erase your personal data. Because we do not retain data or associate technical logs with your identity, there is typically no personal data on record to retrieve or delete.

For any requests, contact: support@searchly.app

7. Children

This service is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

8. Security

All data transmitted to and from searchly.app is encrypted via SSL/TLS. We implement reasonable technical measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

9. Changes to This Policy

Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
