Frequently Asked Questions
How does ideology scoring work?
Each product is evaluated on 7 criteria: anti-planned-obsolescence, durability/repairability, ownership over subscriptions, decentralization, open standards, low recurring costs, and resilience. Scores range from 0-100, with detailed reasoning for each recommendation.
Do you use affiliate links?
No. We provide direct product links without affiliate tracking. Our recommendations are unbiased and based solely on ideology alignment, not commission potential.
What data do you store?
We don't store your search queries by default. We only store hashed license keys (for validation), anonymous daily usage counts (for rate limiting), and webhook event IDs (for idempotency). No user accounts, no prompt storage, no tracking.
What happens if I don't renew after 1 year?
Your license expires and you'll return to the free tier (3 searches per day). You can renew anytime to restore unlimited access. No data is lost.
Refund policy?
