Privacy information, presented clearly.

Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Pocketchief may collect, use, disclose, and retain information through the public website, the business-read flow, related communications, and connected account access.

It is written to explain current practices in clear language for a U.S.-facing small-business product. It is not a substitute for legal advice, and Pocketchief may update this policy as the service or applicable law develops.

Information we collect

Pocketchief may collect the following categories of information, depending on how you use the site.

Business information users provide

When you use the report flow, Pocketchief may collect business-related inputs you choose to submit, such as operating, revenue, cost, customer, cash-flow, or comparable business information used to generate a business read.

Please do not submit information you are not authorized to share. You are responsible for the accuracy and appropriateness of the business information you provide.

Contact and account information

Pocketchief may collect contact details you provide, including your name, email address, company information, and communication history when you contact Pocketchief, request a report by email, or use account-related access features.

If you use saved-report or account access features, Pocketchief may also store information needed to authenticate access, remember your account, and help you reopen prior business reads.

Technical and usage information

Pocketchief may automatically receive technical information such as device and browser details, IP address or approximate location inferred from network traffic, page visits, interaction events, referrer information, and similar usage data used to operate, secure, and improve the service.

• browser, device, and session information
• page views and interaction events
• security and abuse-prevention signals
• basic logs needed to host, deliver, and troubleshoot the service

How we use information

Pocketchief may use collected information to:

• generate, deliver, and support Pocketchief business reads and related report emails
• respond to questions, privacy requests, support requests, and business inquiries
• operate account-access and saved-report features
• protect the site, detect abuse, and maintain security
• understand usage patterns and improve product quality, usability, and reliability
• maintain records reasonably related to operations, compliance, and dispute handling

Pocketchief may also use submitted information to create aggregated or de-identified product insights that are not intended to identify a particular person or business.

Service providers and third-party processors

Pocketchief may use service providers that process information on its behalf for hosting, infrastructure, analytics, security, database support, and email delivery. Based on the current site and repo setup, those providers may include Vercel, Supabase, PostHog, Cloudflare, and Resend.

Those providers may process information only as reasonably needed to perform their role for Pocketchief, subject to their own terms and privacy practices.

When information may be disclosed

Pocketchief may disclose information to service providers, contractors, advisors, or authorities where reasonably necessary to operate the service, protect rights and security, comply with law, or support a business transfer, financing, or reorganization.

Data retention

Pocketchief may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain account access and report history, respond to questions, improve the product, prevent abuse, and satisfy legal, accounting, or recordkeeping obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the relationship, and operational or legal requirements.

Security

Pocketchief uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to help protect information. These measures may include access controls, infrastructure protections, provider-level safeguards, and anti-abuse checks.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security, and Pocketchief cannot promise that information will always remain completely secure.

California and other U.S. privacy rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or additional information about certain personal information Pocketchief maintains about you. You may also have the right to request information about categories of data collected, categories of sources, and categories of disclosures to third parties.

Pocketchief will review privacy requests in light of applicable law, identity verification, security, and any lawful exceptions that may apply.

Do Not Sell or Share

Pocketchief does not sell personal information.

If applicable law treats some analytics-related disclosures or processing as “sharing,” users may contact Pocketchief to make a privacy request. Pocketchief does not provide a separate “Do Not Sell” web form at this time.

How to contact Pocketchief about privacy requests

For privacy questions or requests, contact Pocketchief at MICHAELINBARCPA@GMAIL.COM or through the Contact page.

Please include enough detail for Pocketchief to understand the request, verify the requester where appropriate, and respond in a reasonable way.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated over time as Pocketchief’s practices, providers, features, or legal obligations evolve. The version posted on the site is the current version.

Review note

Pocketchief intends this policy to be practical and transparent, but final review by qualified counsel may still be appropriate as the business, data practices, and applicable law develop.
