How we handle your data
This page states only what is true today: what Kovmere collects, what it deliberately does not collect, where data is processed, how long it is kept, who else sees it, and how to have it deleted. For the full contract-facing version, see the privacy policy; this page is its short summary, not a separate promise.
Who operates this
Content Commerce Labs LLC, doing business as Kovmere, is a company registered in Washington State, USA — the same operating entity and state named on the About page.
What we collect
The site URL, category, brand name, and competitor names you enter to start a reading, and your email address if you leave one. If you buy a plan that includes written fixes, the public pages of your own website that we read to write them; you do not fill in a questionnaire. The sampled answers each engine returns, every URL those answers cite, and what we found when we fetched your own pages. IP address, timestamps, and request counts, used only for rate limiting and spend caps. The Stripe checkout and order identifiers for what you bought — never your card number.
What we never collect
- No site credentials. There is no step in a paid Check, Pro or Agency Portfolio measurement that asks for your website's admin, hosting, or CMS login.
- No CMS access at all, right now. The optional CMS draft-push feature is switched off, so there is nowhere in the live product to type a CMS credential today.
- No access to your own analytics. Where a report points you at your own Google Analytics (GA4) to see AI referral traffic, that is Google's free report on your own property: we have no access to it, we collect none of it, and no number in your Kovmere report comes from it.
Where your data is processed
The site, its database and its backups run on DigitalOcean servers in the United States — the same subprocessor named below and in the privacy policy.
How long we keep it
We do not run an automatic, time-based deletion job for most of what we hold — each kind of data is kept until you ask us to delete it, not a fixed expiry enforced in code. Paid orders are kept indefinitely as a financial and tax record. Operational logs are kept indefinitely as an audit trail, but a deletion request scrubs your email address out of every row that carries one. Nightly backups keep roughly the last 14 days before the oldest is rotated out, so a deletion request can still exist inside a backup made just before it until that backup ages out. The full breakdown, kind by kind, is in the privacy policy's Retention and deletion section.
Deleting or exporting your data: log in with your email and password, then choose Delete my data or get a copy of everything under that address.
Who else touches your data
Running a measurement and taking payment means a few outside services see parts of what you send us — the same list About publishes:
- OpenAI, Perplexity, Google, Anthropic, and DataForSEO — the search APIs used to sample answers (DataForSEO reads Google AI Overviews). OpenAI also writes the question set and judges the answers; OpenAI and Anthropic write the Fix package.
- Serper — web searches about your business, to find your listings and the pages AI answers cite when your Fix package is written.
- Stripe — checkout, subscriptions, and payment records; we never see your card details.
- Resend — delivery of report, receipt, renewal, and cancellation messages.
- DigitalOcean — hosts the site, its database and its backups, in the United States.
Who can see a report
A report's URL is an unguessable, single-purpose link, not a password — anyone holding it can open it, the same as any unlisted link elsewhere in this product. Changing anything on a report (minting or revoking a white-label share link, re-running a missing engine, editing questions or the Fix package) needs the owner to be logged in with the email and password of the address the report belongs to, which keeps that browser logged in for 30 days. An Agency workspace opens only for its owner and the team members the owner added, each with their own email and password. Kovmere's operator can also open it, to give support. Nothing we email is a login link. White-label share links are revocable — turning one off invalidates every copy of it at once, and a link can be minted with its own expiry.
Payments
Checkout, card entry, and billing run on Stripe's own hosted pages. Your card number and billing details go directly to Stripe; they never reach us. Payment records come back from Stripe — we never see or store your card details.
Certifications
We do not hold a SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification. We will not claim one here unless a real audit report exists to back it.
