Unthoughtof Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 18, 2025

Unthoughtof ("we," "us," or "our") provides the Unthoughtof, the Monetization Intelligence browser extension. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the extension.

What We Collect

Website analysis (only when you click)

When you click the Unthoughtof icon on a webpage, we collect technical information that is visible in the page's structure and scripts, such as:

  • Technologies used (e.g., WordPress, Shopify, React)
  • Advertising and analytics scripts (e.g., Google AdSense, analytics tools)
  • Affiliate and creator links (e.g., Patreon, Substack)
  • Whether the page has login, search, cart, pricing, or similar features
  • Basic performance metrics (e.g., load timing, number of requests)
  • Accessibility-related metrics (e.g., images without alt text)

We only use the site's origin (e.g. https://example.com). We do not use full URLs, paths, or any text or content from the page. This collection happens only when you click the icon; we do not scan or collect data in the background as you browse.

Email

We may ask for your email after you've used the extension a few times so you can keep using it for free. Providing your email is optional. We may also receive your email from Stripe if you buy a business plan. We store your email, how we got it (extension or payment), the domain you were analyzing when you gave it (if applicable), and whether you agreed to marketing emails.

Interactions with ideas

When you like, dislike, or ask to improve or replace an idea, we store the domain, the idea, the action you took, any feedback text you entered, and the resulting idea (if we generate one).

Technical and payment-related data

  • IP address: Our servers receive your IP address with each request. We use it for rate limiting and abuse prevention. Rate-limit logs are deleted after a short period. For idea feedback (e.g. likes, improvements), we may store your IP with the feedback for limits and deduplication.
  • Payment: Payments are handled by Stripe. We do not see or store your card number or other payment details. We only receive and store a Stripe session ID and plan ID so we can confirm your purchase and deliver your business plan.

Data on your device

The extension stores data locally in your browser (e.g. cached results, liked ideas, preferences, your email, purchased plans). This stays on your device unless you trigger a sync (such as restoring plans). We do not continuously upload this local data.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Run the analysis and show you monetization insights and business ideas
  • Cache results so repeat visits to the same site are faster
  • Show the "Opportunity Radar" badge when you visit a domain we've already analyzed (we only look up the site's origin in our cache; we do not read page content)
  • Generate, store, and restore your purchased business plans
  • Use your idea feedback (including improvements) to improve ideas for everyone, when our systems approve it
  • Send occasional product updates if you gave your email and agreed to marketing
  • Enforce rate limits and prevent abuse
  • Improve our service using aggregated, non-personal data

Who We Share Data With

We do not sell your personal information.

We use:

  • Supabase (US) for databases and server logic. They store origins, technical signals, emails, idea feedback, plans, and rate-limit data under our instructions.
  • Google (Gemini) to generate insights and ideas. We send only the site origin and a summarized set of technical signals (e.g. tech stack, ads, monetization signals). We do not send raw data-lake records to Google.
  • Stripe for payments. They process the payment; we only receive session and plan identifiers to verify purchases and deliver plans.

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or security.

Where Your Data Is Stored

Our servers and databases are in the United States. If you use the extension from another country, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the extension, you consent to that transfer.

How Long We Keep Data

  • Technical / insight data: Typically 90–180 days, then removed automatically.
  • Rate-limit logs: A few hours, then removed automatically.
  • Email, idea feedback, payment records, and plans: Kept until you ask us to delete them or as required by law.

You can clear the extension's local data anytime (e.g. via browser or extension settings, or by uninstalling).

Security

We use HTTPS for all traffic. Access to databases is restricted; sensitive data is only available to our backend, not to the extension directly. We apply rate limits, validate and limit input, and take reasonable steps to protect your data.

Your Choices and Rights

  • Uninstall: Uninstalling the extension removes its local data from your device.
  • Email and account data: To delete your email or other data we hold about you, contact us at contact@unthoughtof.com. We will process requests within a reasonable time (e.g. within 30 days where required by law).
  • Marketing: You can opt out of emails using the link in any message or by contacting us.
  • Radar badge: You can turn off the opportunity flame/badge in the extension so we don't look up the current tab's origin for the badge.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or California, you may have additional rights (e.g. access, correction, deletion, portability). Contact us at contact@unthoughtof.com to exercise them.

Children

The extension is not intended for anyone under 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn we have done so, we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. The "Effective date" at the top will change when we do. Using the extension after an update means you accept the revised policy.
