Privacy Policy

Overview

Freedom Finds is a Made-in-USA product marketplace and company directory. Catalog browsing does not require a Freedom Finds account. Carts, lists, content reports, and other account tools require an approved account. Freedom Finds does not send email. Account decisions and notices appear as in-app messages after you sign in.

Google user data

Sign in with Google uses Google Identity Services with only the basic profile scopes: openid, email, and profile. Freedom Finds does not request Google contacts, Gmail content, Drive files, or other sensitive Google APIs.

From a successful Google sign-in, Freedom Finds keeps your Google account email and display name (when Google provides one), plus a Google subject identifier used to recognize the same Google account on later visits. Phone number, date of birth, and street address are not read from Google; you type those yourself on the access-request form when creating an account.

Google-derived email and name are used only to create or sign in to your Freedom Finds account and to complete the access-request review process. Freedom Finds does not sell Google user data and does not share it with third parties for advertising.

Other information we collect

• Access requests: display name, phone, date of birth (to confirm you are 18 or older), mailing address, account type (standard user or business owner), and—for business owners—business name and website when provided. You may also create an account with any email address and a password instead of Google.
• Account security (optional): authenticator app secrets and backup codes for multi-factor authentication, and passkey credentials you register on your devices. Passwords are stored only as irreversible hashes.
• Product activity tied to an approved account: carts, saved lists (registries), community trust signals (such as thumbs-up), and content reports about inactive links or inaccurate origin claims.
• Store-owner tools: store profile details and catalog data you import or enter from your own registered website or uploaded feed.
• Company submissions and similar public submission forms when you choose to send them.
• Technical session data needed to keep you signed in (access and refresh tokens in the browser) and ordinary server logs used to operate the service.

How we use information

We use account and access-request information to authenticate you, review new access requests, operate carts and lists, show in-app admin messages, support store catalog tools, and improve trust signals on listings. Birth date, phone, and street address stay on the account record for admin review and are not copied into notification bodies.

Sharing

Freedom Finds does not sell personal information and does not share Google user data or other account profile data for advertising. Limited sharing may occur with service providers that host or operate the site (for example infrastructure and identity providers such as Google for Sign in with Google), when you ask us to, or when the law requires it.

Retention and deletion

Account records remain while your account is active or pending review. To request deletion of your Freedom Finds account and related personal data (including Google email, name, and other profile fields we store), email phantomtechindustries@gmail.com from the address on the account. We will verify the request and remove or deactivate the account data that is no longer needed to operate the service or meet legal obligations.

Children

Freedom Finds accounts require that you are 18 or older. The service is not directed to children under 13.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy by posting a new version on this page with a revised effective date. Questions about privacy: phantomtechindustries@gmail.com.
