What stays in your browser
Your language, destination and currency preferences stay in this browser’s local storage. If you save a search, its search words, destination, optional budget, currency, language and category are also stored here. Up to 20 searches are kept. They do not sync to an account or another device. Open Saved to remove a search or clear the list. Clearing this site’s browser data removes these preferences and saved searches.
An older preview included a comparison worksheet. Old worksheet data may remain until you clear this site’s browser data. This version does not read or use it.
What is sent when you search
Find sends your search words, destination, optional budget, currency, language and category to our server. When AI research is available, our server sends these details to OpenAI to search public shopping sources. To check a displayed price, our server may also read the public product page at selected retailers. It does not send your name, payment details or browser cookies to those retailers. We request that the Responses API does not store the response. OpenAI’s service policies still apply. Do not include information you would not want processed by this service.
If AI research is unavailable, a separate retailer search can prepare links without sending that search to OpenAI. Retailer searches use a request URL, so search words may appear in browser and hosting records. Results stay on your page; this application does not keep a customer search database or run analytics scripts. Hosting and service providers may process technical request records, including network addresses, under their own policies. Our usage counter stores a date and daily request total, without search words or visitor identities.
When you open a shop
Retailer search links include your search words in the URL. Product and source links open an external website. A clearly marked commission link may also pass through an approved affiliate network to record a referral. That network or retailer may use cookies under its own privacy policy. This site does not collect payment details, place orders for you, or share a customer checkout form. The retailer handles payment, delivery, support and returns.
Advertising and commissions
No affiliate program or display advertising is connected at launch. Direct product links earn no commission. If an approved commission link is enabled, its product card will say so before you leave. This site does not set advertising cookies or load display advertising scripts. Any future advertising must be disclosed here before it is added.
