Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 25, 2026

Overview

Business Diver is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal data, never store your API keys on our servers, and use privacy-friendly analytics that require no cookies or consent banners.

API Keys

Your API keys are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. When you run a research query, your key is sent to our backend server which uses it to make a single API call to your chosen AI provider (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic). Our backend never logs, stores, or persists your API key -- it is used only for the duration of the request and then discarded. Keys automatically expire from localStorage after 24 hours.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics service. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and is fully GDPR-compliant by design. No consent banner is needed because no personal data is processed. We see aggregate page views and referrers, not individual user behavior.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect personal information, email addresses, names, or any form of user identification. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party trackers. We do not sell or share data with third parties.

Research Reports

Company research reports are generated in real-time and streamed to your browser. Report history is stored in your browser's localStorage. We may store anonymized, publicly accessible company reports to serve as public report pages for SEO purposes. These reports contain only publicly available information about companies.

Your Rights (GDPR)

Since we do not collect personal data, there is minimal data subject to GDPR rights. Your research history and API keys are stored locally in your browser. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage or using the "Delete Key" button in the app.
