Privacy policy
Last updated September 28, 2026
OwnedFor has no accounts and no sign-up. We collect as little as we can to run the site.
What we collect when you visit
- Anonymous visit statistics through Vercel Web Analytics: which pages are viewed, the referring site, and your country and device type. It uses no cookies and doesn't track you across sites.
- What you search for. Search terms and product requests are stored without anything that identifies you, so we can see which products people look for.
- Server logs. Our host, Vercel, keeps standard request logs (including IP addresses) for security and reliability, under its own privacy policy.
Your "recently viewed" list is saved only in your own browser (local storage). It's never sent to us, and clearing your browser data removes it.
Other services involved
- Vercel hosts the site. Supabase stores our product and review database.
- Product photos load from Wikimedia Commons, which sees a normal request from your browser.
- "Check price" links go to Amazon. Once you're on Amazon, its own privacy policy and cookies apply.
The owner posts we quote
Scores are built from public posts and comments on YouTube, Hacker News, Bluesky, Lemmy and enthusiast forums. We show short excerpts with the author's public username and a link to the original. To classify posts (for example, whether the writer owns the product), their text is processed by Google's Gemini API and by a model we run ourselves. We don't sell this data or use it to train AI models.
If you wrote a post we quote and want it removed, email hello@ownedfor.com with a link to the page, and we'll remove it.
Children
OwnedFor isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
