What we collect
When you create an account or run a brief, we collect your email, watchlist (competitors, topics, URLs), briefs and PDFs in your library, and usage events needed to run the product (briefs generated, downloads). Payment is processed by Paddle.com, the merchant of record named at checkout; we do not store full card numbers.
When you use the contact form, we also collect your name, email, phone if you provide it, and your message, and we use them only to reply. We do not add that address to a marketing list.
How we use it
To operate the software: authenticate you, run scout-agents, store briefs in your library, send account email (signup confirmation and password reset) and replies to the contact form, and improve the product. We do not sell personal data.
Sources we scan
Research uses public web only (pricing pages, blogs, public job listings, press). We do not bypass logins, paywalls, or CAPTCHAs, and we do not scrape personal employee profiles.
Processors
We use these providers to run ArgusBees. They process data only as needed for their role. Some of them operate outside your country.
- Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage
- Vercel — hosting for the website and app
- Railway — hosting for the API and research workers
- Paddle — checkout, invoices, and returns
- Email delivery — account messages and contact replies
- Model and public-web search providers — the watchlist and retrieved public pages for that brief run
How long we keep it
Account, watchlist, and library files stay while the account is open. Contact messages stay long enough to reply. When you delete your account in the app, we delete the associated account data and briefs and cancel an active subscription. Payment records stay with Paddle.
Your rights
Email help@argusbees.com to access, correct, or delete your data. You can also delete your account in the app.
Sign-in storage
The app uses essential storage to keep you signed in. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.
