Privacy Policy
Effective date: June 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Likely (OhSoVeryLikely.com) collects, how we use it, and who we share it with. Likely is operated by [your legal entity], [address].
1. Information we collect
- Account: your email address, used for magic-link sign-in.
- Posts: the needs and offers you create — titles, descriptions, optional prices, optional ZIP code / approximate location, “need by” dates, and whether an item is remote or shippable.
- Activity: who you express interest in, your matches and connections, and the messages you send in negotiations.
- Payments: when you buy credits, a record of the purchase (amount, credits, and a payment reference). Card details are handled by Stripe, not by us.
- Derived data: vector “embeddings” of your posts and AI verdicts, which we generate to find and rank matches.
- Technical: a session cookie to keep you signed in, a small non-secret cookie used to show the right header controls, an avatar identifier (a hashed form of your email used with Gravatar), and standard server logs (such as IP address and request times) for security and debugging.
2. How we use it
- To run the service: authenticate you, store and display your posts, find and rank matches, and relay messages between matched users.
- To power AI features: generate match rankings, “sift” verdicts, and drafted negotiation messages.
- To process payments and maintain credit balances.
- To secure the service, prevent abuse, debug problems, and understand aggregate usage.
- To send you essential email (sign-in links and match notifications).
3. What other users can see
- Your posts are visible to other users as part of matching.
- Your email address and exact location are not shown to other users. We never display location finer than a ZIP code.
- Any reservation price you set is used only for ranking and is never revealed to the other side.
- Messages are relayed through Likely; the other party doesn’t see your email unless you choose to share it.
4. Who we share it with
We use trusted third parties to operate Likely and share only what’s needed:
- Supabase — authentication and database hosting.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Resend — sending transactional email (sign-in links, notifications).
- Our AI/model provider(s) — to generate embeddings, sift verdicts, and drafted messages. This means your post content — and, for the negotiation assistant, that conversation’s messages — is sent to them for processing.
- Gravatar — to show avatars based on a hash of your email, only on pages with avatars.
- Map tiles (OpenStreetMap / CARTO) — loaded only when you open the map page.
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect Likely and its users.
5. Cookies
We use a small number of cookies: a secure, http-only session cookie for sign-in; a non-secret flag so the page can show the right controls; and an avatar hash. We don’t use third-party advertising cookies.
6. Data retention
We keep your account and posts while your account is active. You can delete your posts at any time; deleted posts are removed from active use. We may retain certain records (such as payment history and security logs) as long as needed for legal, accounting, or security purposes.
7. Your choices and rights
- You can edit or delete your posts at any time.
- You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at [support@ohsoverylikely.com].
- Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (for example under GDPR or CCPA). We will honor applicable rights — contact us to exercise them.
8. Security
We use standard measures (encrypted connections and hashed or otherwise secured tokens) to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a secure email account — access to your email controls access to your Likely account.
9. Children
Likely is not intended for anyone under 18, and we don’t knowingly collect information from children.
10. Beta
Likely is in beta. While we work to protect your data, the service is evolving and data loss is possible — please don’t post anything you can’t afford to lose.
11. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be posted here with a new effective date.
