Privacy — how your data works
What stays on this device, and what is sent when you run a check.
Stored on this device
Your priorities, sensitivity levels, notes and saved companies are stored in this browser. You can export or clear them at any time from your profile.
Sent during a check
When you check a company or product, the brand name and the preferences needed to personalise the result are sent to our backend and to the AI provider that performs the search.
Camera
The live camera preview runs on your device. A single still frame is sent for recognition only when a scan runs; Boycott Watch does not save these frames.
Chats
If you are signed in, your conversations are stored in your account so you can reopen and share them. Signed out, they stay in this browser only.
Shared company records
Research about a company is cached and reused for everyone, so repeated checks are fast. Personalised results are calculated on your device and are never cached publicly.
Your controls
Export your data, import it on another device, or clear everything stored in this browser from the profile page.
