PRIVACY POLICY
Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how The Honest Report collects, uses, shares and protects information when you visit our website, request a free snapshot, purchase a service, contact us, or otherwise interact with us.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly to us, including your name, email address, business name, website URL, phone number, service interest, billing-related information, messages, and other information you choose to submit.
When you request an AI Visibility Snapshot or use our monitoring services, we may also collect or process business-related information connected to the website or company you ask us to analyze, including publicly available website content, business listings, search visibility information, competitor information and related technical data.
We may automatically collect certain technical information when you use the website, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, timestamps, and similar usage data.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
• Provide free snapshots, monitoring, reports and managed services.
• Analyze website and business visibility across search and AI platforms.
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
• Process subscriptions, payments and account-related requests.
• Improve our website, reports, systems and services.
• Monitor performance, security, fraud and misuse.
• Send service-related communications and, where permitted, marketing communications.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
3. AI and Automated Processing
Our services may use artificial intelligence, automation, APIs and third-party technology providers to analyze website content, business information and visibility signals. Information submitted for analysis may be processed by those service providers as necessary to deliver the requested service.
We do not rely on automation alone for services that are described as human-reviewed. Human review may be used to interpret, prioritize, confirm, downgrade or reject automated findings.
4. Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies, analytics technologies and similar tools to understand website usage, remember preferences, improve performance, measure marketing effectiveness and help protect the site from misuse.
You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.
5. Payments
Payments may be processed by third-party payment processors. We generally do not store full payment-card numbers on our own servers. Payment processors may collect and process payment information under their own privacy policies and security practices.
6. How We Share Information
We may share information with service providers that help us operate the website and deliver our services, such as hosting providers, analytics providers, email providers, payment processors, AI/API providers, security providers and other business-operations vendors.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, court orders, enforce agreements, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing or sale of business assets.
We do not sell personal information.
7. Publicly Available Business Information
Some of our services analyze information that is already publicly available, such as business websites, public profiles, public reviews, public business listings, search results and other online sources. Our processing of public business information is separate from the personal information you submit directly to us.
8. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business and accounting records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, protect security, and improve our systems. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss or disclosure. No website, transmission method or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights relating to your personal information, such as requesting access, correction, deletion or information about how your data is used or shared.
You may also ask us to stop sending non-essential marketing communications at any time.

Our website and services are intended for businesses and adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
12. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may link to third-party websites, platforms or services that we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
