2. Information We Collect
We collect only what is necessary to provide the Service:

- Analysis data: Financial figures and business details you enter when running a deal analysis. This data is yours and is stored solely to power your saved analyses and dashboard.
- Usage data: Basic technical information such as pages visited, features used, and error logs — collected to maintain and improve the Service.
- Payment information: Billing is handled entirely by Stripe. We do not collect, store, or have access to your credit card number or full payment details. Stripe's privacy policy governs payment data.
- Cookies and local storage: We use session storage to preserve form state across authentication redirects. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect exclusively to:
- Authenticate you and maintain your account session
- Store and retrieve your saved deal analyses
- Process subscription payments through Stripe
- Respond to support inquiries and communications you initiate
- Monitor, diagnose, and fix technical issues
- Improve the accuracy and performance of the Service
We do not use your data for advertising, behavioral profiling, or any purpose outside the direct operation of the Service.
4. We Will Never Sell Your Data
We will never sell, rent, lease, license, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information or your analysis data to any third party for commercial purposes, marketing, or any other reason not directly required to operate the Service. This commitment is unconditional and not subject to exceptions for business transfers unless explicitly stated in Section 8.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We share data with trusted infrastructure providers (Microsoft Azure for hosting and database, Stripe for payments, Anthropic for AI analysis) solely to operate the Service. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your data for their own purposes.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of OwnABiz, our users, or the public.
- With your explicit consent: We will share information in any other circumstances only with your prior written consent.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account information and saved analyses for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account or individual analyses, that data is removed from our systems within 30 days. Anonymized, aggregated usage statistics that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely for product improvement purposes.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (TLS), access controls, and secure cloud infrastructure managed through Microsoft Azure. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Business Transfers
If OwnABiz is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on the Service prior to any such transfer and inform you of any choices you may have regarding your data.
9. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
