  • Usage data such as API request volume, endpoints accessed, and response times
  • API request metadata including IP addresses, user agent strings, and timestamps
  • Payment information processed through Stripe (we do not store full card numbers)

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To improve and optimize API performance and reliability
  • To process billing and manage your subscription
  • To provide customer support and respond to your requests

Data We Process On Your Behalf

Business data that you query through the smbcrawl API is processed to fulfill your enrichment requests. This data is sourced from publicly available information. Enrichment results are cached temporarily according to your plan tier's cache TTL settings to improve performance and reduce redundant processing. Data is not stored beyond these cache periods.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the following service providers that are necessary to operate smbcrawl:

  • Clerk -- Authentication and user account management
  • Stripe -- Payment processing and subscription management
  • Neon -- Database hosting and storage
  • Vercel -- Application hosting and infrastructure
  • x402 / Coinbase -- Cryptocurrency payment processing (USDC on Base)

Data Retention

Enrichment cache data is retained according to your plan tier's cache TTL settings. Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. API usage logs are retained for billing and analytics purposes. When you delete your account, your personal data is removed, though anonymized usage statistics may be retained.

Security

We take the security of your data seriously. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS. Our infrastructure is hosted on Vercel with enterprise-grade security. API keys are hashed before storage. We regularly review our security practices and update them as needed.

You have the following rights regarding your data:

  • Access -- Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Deletion -- Request deletion of your account and associated personal data
  • Export -- Export your data in a machine-readable format
