How Pearbana handles your data. Last updated 10 August 2026.
Pearbana measures market demand from search data. You describe a business idea, the service measures what people search for and what companies pay to reach them, and it writes that up as a report. This page says what is stored while that happens, who else sees it, and how to have it deleted.
Pearbana is operated from the Netherlands. For anything on this page, including a request to delete your data, write to [email protected].
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| The conversation — what you type and what the service replies, including any report | So a conversation survives a reload or a restart, and so you can reopen an earlier report | A year after you last add to it, or sooner if you ask |
| Your IP address, recorded with the conversation | Abuse prevention and diagnosing faults | Goes with the conversation it belongs to |
| Your email address, if you create an account | To identify the account and its credit balance | Until the account is deleted |
| A record of credits spent and what they were spent on | So a charge can be explained if you query it | Until the account is deleted |
| The cost of each run, to us | To know what the service costs to operate | Kept as a timestamp and a figure, with nothing linking it to you or to a conversation |
Google Analytics runs only if you allow it. The first time you arrive we ask, and nothing loads until you answer. Decline and no analytics script is fetched, no analytics cookie is set, and the site works exactly as it would otherwise — the question is not asked again.
If you allow it, we see which pages are visited and roughly where visitors came from. We have turned off the settings that would let Google use this for advertising or to recognize you across other sites, and your IP address is shortened before it is stored. What you type into the service is never sent to Google: not your description, not your report, not your email address.
There is no advertising tag on this site.
Changed your mind? Clearing this site's data in your browser removes the stored answer, and the question is asked again on your next visit.
Two are strictly necessary and are set whether or not you allow analytics:
Only if you allow analytics, Google Analytics sets its own cookies to tell one visit from the next. They are not set before you answer, and not at all if you decline.
Your answer to that question is remembered in your browser's own storage rather than in a cookie, and it is never sent to us.
Producing a report means sending parts of what you describe to other services. They act on our instructions and for no other purpose:
| Service | What it receives |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | The conversation text, to generate replies and the report |
| Microsoft Advertising | Search phrases, to return search volumes and prices |
| SerpApi | Search phrases, to read live results pages |
| DataForSEO | Search phrases and competitor website addresses |
| ScrapingBee | Website addresses, to read public pages |
| Cloudflare | Traffic to the site passes through it |
| Google Analytics | Only if you allow it: which page you are on and where you arrived from. Never what you type or your email address. |
Some of these operate outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, transfers rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision.
What is never sent anywhere: your email address and your credit balance stay on our own server. Search phrases are sent to the services above because measuring them is the entire product; nothing identifying you accompanies them.
We do not rely on consent, because none of the above is optional to the service. Equally, none of it is used for marketing, profiling or advertising.
You can ask for a copy of what is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to [email protected] and we will act within one month. Deleting an account deletes its conversations, its email address and its credit history; a credit balance is lost when it goes. What remains afterwards is the cost of each run to us — a timestamp and a figure, with nothing left linking it to you or to anything you wrote. Conversations are in any case deleted a year after the last message, whether or not you ask.
If you think your data has been mishandled you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, or to the authority where you live.
Traffic is encrypted in transit. The service runs on a single server and the data is not sold, shared or used for any purpose other than those described here. To report a security problem, see security.txt.
Accounts are created by signing in with Google. Pearbana asks for two
permissions and no others: openid, which is how Google
confirms who you are, and email, which sends your
email address. Your name and profile picture are not
requested.
The email address is what an account is: what your credits belong to, what your reports are filed under, and how a request to delete them is matched. No Google password is ever seen by this service — Google confirms who you are and Pearbana is told the result.
Pearbana asks for no access to anything else in your Google account. Not Gmail, not Drive, not Calendar, not contacts. Signing in does not let this service read, write or send anything on your behalf, and the permission ends when you remove it at your Google account permissions.
Data received from Google is used to run and improve Pearbana only. It is not sold, not transferred to anyone else except the processors named above who run the service, and not used for advertising. It is not used to train any model. Deleting your account deletes it, as described above.
This is an early service. It is used by a small number of people while it is being built, and this page will change as it grows. The date at the top says when this version was written. Conversations recorded during earlier testing, before this page existed, have been deleted.
