PRIVACY
POLICY
LAST UPDATED: MAY 2026
01 / DATA COLLECTION AND PURPOSE
We collect minimal personal data. When you submit an application to become a founding client or perform an audit scan, we capture your name, email address, company URL, and preferred AI tools. This information is processed solely to perform initial AEO audits and establish direct communication regarding our optimization services.
02 / CRAWLING AND THIRD-PARTY DATA
Our citation scanner queries public homepage data and crawls robots.txt files. We use third-party APIs (like Web3Forms) to handle contact form submissions securely. We do not sell, rent, or distribute your email or brand details to third-party database brokers.
03 / DATA SECURITY & RETENTION
We retain your audit data for as long as necessary to provide service logs. If you wish to have your domain scan details, application email, or entity data purged from our system databases, please email us directly at mayank@myascend.co.
