Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

This policy explains what personal data Niche AI collects, why, and what control you have over it. We only collect what we need to run the product.

What we collect

  • Account data — your email address, and your name if you sign in with Google.
  • Search data — the questionnaire answers you submit (interest, goal, time commitment, on-camera preference, platforms, budget, experience, format) and the AI results generated for you.
  • Purchase data — which credit pack you bought, the amount, currency, status, and the Stripe identifiers needed to match a payment to your account. We never receive or store your card number.
  • Usage data — page views, referrer, and user agent, used to understand traffic and diagnose problems.

How we use it

  • To create and secure your account and authenticate you.
  • To generate niche recommendations and save them to your search history.
  • To track your search-credit balance, process purchases and issue refunds.
  • To monitor service cost, performance and abuse.
  • To contact you about your account, purchases or important service changes.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

We process account and search data to perform our contract with you; purchase data to perform the contract and meet legal accounting obligations; and usage data on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure and working well.

Who processes your data

We use a small number of service providers, each acting on our instructions:

  • Supabase — database, authentication and hosting of your account, searches and purchase records.
  • Stripe — payment processing, tax calculation and receipts. Stripe is the controller of its own payment data; see stripe.com/privacy.
  • Lovable AI Gateway (and the underlying Google Gemini model) — generates your niche recommendations from your questionnaire answers.
  • Google — only if you choose Google sign-in.

Your questionnaire answers are sent to the AI provider to produce results. Don't include sensitive personal information, credentials or confidential business data in free-text fields.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, we rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards offered by those providers.

How long we keep it

Account, search and purchase records are kept while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your account and search data. Purchase and tax records are retained for as long as accounting and tax law requires, typically seven years.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access to your rows in our database is restricted at the database level so that you can only read your own account, searches, credit ledger and purchases. Credit balances and purchase records can only be written by our trusted server-side code, never from the browser. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent. You can see your searches and purchases in the app at any time. For anything else — including account deletion — email us and we'll respond within 30 days.

EEA/UK users may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority.

Cookies

We use cookies and browser storage that are strictly necessary to keep you signed in and to run checkout. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Children

Niche AI is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact us and we'll delete it.
