CAI is a market-intelligence tool. We collect the minimum needed to operate it. We do not sell, share, or rent your personal information. We do not use third-party advertising trackers. We do not require an account to browse.
Pageviews (anonymous): CAI logs each page you view (path + referrer + coarse mobile/desktop from User-Agent) plus a random session id stored only in sessionStorage on your browser tab. The session id resets when you close the tab and contains no PII. We use this to understand which pages get traffic. No cookies are used for tracking.
Standard server logs: Timestamp, IP address, requested URL, user-agent, and referrer for operational and security purposes. Logs are rotated.
Tool events (anonymous): When you use a tool (Iris assistant, the listing kit, the verifier, the negotiator, etc.) we log the event type and the source page so we can fix bugs and improve flows. We do not log message content unless you have signed in and explicitly chose to save a conversation.
Email + lead data (only when you give it): If you submit a dealer lead, request a listing-price alert, or sign up for a digest, we store the email you provide and the device/listing context you sent. We use it to fulfil that request and nothing else. You may request deletion at any time.
Account & saved items (only when you sign in): A username, a salted password hash, and the list of devices/deals/listings you have saved. Saved items are private to your account.
No PHI (protected health information). No PII beyond what you voluntarily type into a form (email, optional message). No third-party tracking cookies, no Facebook/Google Analytics/Adsense pixels, no fingerprinting libraries.
These tools accept a URL or an image upload. URLs and images are used solely to extract equipment and pricing information. We do not retain uploaded images after extraction is complete. Do not upload anything containing PHI, PII, financial details, or social security numbers.
CAI uses Anthropic Claude and OpenAI for vision extraction, the Iris assistant, marketing drafts, and listing-kit generation. Your queries and uploaded images are sent to those providers for processing. Their data-handling policies apply to that processing. We do not send anything you have not entered.
CAI uses minimal session cookies for sign-in (so you stay logged in across pages) and remembers UI preferences (filter state) in localStorage on your browser. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
CAI is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Submit corrections or data-removal requests via /corrections. For account deletion or email-removal, contact us via the same page.
Every listing displayed by CAI links back to its primary public source (eBay, GovDeals, DOTmed, etc.). Those third-party sites have their own privacy policies that govern data you provide them.
We may update this policy; the "Last updated" date will reflect the most recent change.
