The short version
We don't require accounts, we don't sell data, and we don't store your conversations. Chat messages are sent to our AI provider to generate a reply and are not persisted on our servers.
What we collect
- Chat messages: sent to Google's Gemini API to generate a response, and to Amazon's product API when product lookups are needed. Not stored by us beyond the request.
- Usage analytics: if enabled, Google Analytics 4 collects anonymized usage data (pages viewed, approximate location, device type) using cookies. You can opt out with any cookie-blocking tool or browser setting.
- Server logs: Cloudflare processes standard request logs for security and performance. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for details.
Affiliate links
Our links to Amazon and other retailers may contain affiliate tags. When you click one, the retailer's own privacy policy and cookies apply from that point. As an Amazon Associate, blackfriday.chat earns from qualifying purchases. This never changes the price you pay.
