Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

What we collect

Brandomica Lab uses Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics (GA4) to collect usage data. This includes:

  • Page URL and referrer
  • Browser type and screen size
  • Search events (the brand name you searched)
  • Outbound link clicks (which external link was clicked)

Cookies and consent

Brandomica Lab uses a consent banner for analytics cookies. Google Analytics storage is denied by default and only enabled if you accept. If you decline, core site functionality still works.

What we don't collect

  • No user accounts
  • No passwords or payment information
  • No database of user identities linked to searches

Third-party services used for brand checks

When you search a brand name, Brandomica Lab may send the search term to these services:

  • Vercel Domains API (domain availability and pricing checks)
  • GitHub API (username availability)
  • Serper.dev Google Search API (web presence and social index lookups, primary provider)
  • Brave Search API (fallback provider for search/index checks)
  • iTunes Search API (App Store check)
  • npm registry (package name check)
  • PyPI registry (Python package check)
  • crates.io registry (Rust crate check)
  • RubyGems registry (Ruby gem check)
  • NuGet registry (.NET package check)
  • Homebrew Formulae API (macOS package check)
  • Docker Hub (container image check)
  • X API v2 (optional official username lookup when configured)
  • Turso (hosted SQLite FTS5 — primary USPTO trademark provider)
  • USPTO trademark bulk index (local server-side lookup, legacy fallback when configured)
  • ProductHunt GraphQL API v2 (when configured)
  • WhoisXML API (domain availability fallback, when configured)
  • Wiktionary REST API (linguistic screening — word existence only, no definitions stored)
  • Datamuse API (phonetic similar-word enrichment)

For X/Twitter, Brandomica Lab first uses the official X API when a server token is configured, then falls back to search-index lookups. For TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn, Brandomica uses search-index lookups (Serper.dev with Brave fallback) instead of direct automated profile scraping. Google Play remains manual-link only. ProductHunt is automated only when a server token is configured; otherwise it falls back to a manual link. For USPTO trademark checks, Brandomica uses a hosted Turso database as the primary provider, with a local bulk index as a legacy fallback.

Each service has its own privacy policy. Brandomica Lab does not control how these services handle the data.

Data sharing

Brandomica Lab does not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. Brand names you search are sent only to the third-party services listed above for the sole purpose of performing availability and safety checks. No user data is shared beyond what is required to return check results.

Data retention

Search requests and checker responses may be cached in memory for about 5-30 minutes depending on endpoint (most checks are 5-10 minutes; Google web-presence checks can be up to 30 minutes). Brandomica Lab does not persist search history in a database. Analytics data retention follows Vercel and Google's policies.
