Last updated May 16, 2026

Introduction

PageBrain, a product of SearchMoat LLC ("we", "us", or "our"), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our desktop application and website (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

  • Account information - email address, name, and password when you create an account.
  • Usage data - features used, session duration, crash reports, and anonymised performance metrics.
  • Device information - operating system, app version, and hardware identifiers required for licensing.
  • Payment information - processed securely by our third-party payment provider. We do not store card details.

Local-First Data

PageBrain is local-first. Crawl data you generate stays on your machine and is never uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly choose to sync or share it.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
  • Process transactions and manage your subscription.
  • Send transactional emails (receipts, security alerts, product updates).
  • Diagnose technical issues and improve stability.
  • Comply with legal obligations.
  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Sharing & Third Parties

We may share information with trusted third parties solely to operate the Service:

  • Payment processors - to handle billing and subscriptions.
  • Analytics providers - anonymised usage metrics to improve the product.
  • Infrastructure providers - hosting and cloud services that store account data.
  • All third parties are contractually required to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it.

Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction or deletion of your data.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Export your data in a portable format.
  • To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@pagebrain.app.

Our website uses essential cookies to maintain sessions and preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top and, for material changes, notify you via email or an in-app notice.
