At Predict & Pour, we take your privacy seriously. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our forecasting platform and Chrome extension.
📊 What Information We Collect
1. Account Information (Web Application)
- Username: Your chosen username for authentication
- Email address: For account identification and communication
- Password: Stored as an encrypted hash (we never see your actual password)
- Last login timestamp: To track account activity
2. Forecast Data (Web Application & Extension)
🔒 Your Forecast Data Stays Private
Important: Your forecast numbers and sales data are never sent to our servers. Here's how your data is handled:
- Web Application (Predict): When you upload Excel files for forecasting, your data is processed in your browser session only and temporarily on our server for calculations. We do not store your raw sales data, SKU information, or forecast values.
- Chrome Extension (Pour): Your uploaded forecast Excel files are stored only in your browser's local storage. We cannot see, access, or retrieve this data from our end.
- Session-Only Storage: All forecast data is cleared when you close your browser or log out.
Bottom Line: We have no access to your competitive sales data, forecasts, or business intelligence. Your numbers are yours alone.
3. Technical Information
- Session cookies: To keep you logged in securely
- Browser type and version: For compatibility and troubleshooting
- Access logs: IP addresses and timestamps for security purposes
