Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 22, 2026
1. Who we are
NicheDoctrine ("we", "us") is an Etsy niche research tool operated by Malik, Pakistan. Contact: irshad.malik007@gmail.com.
2. What we collect
You can explore the app and its example results without an account, and we collect nothing about guests. If you create a free account to run live searches, we store on our server only what the account needs: your name, your email address, and a salted one-way hash of your password — never the password itself, so we could not show it to anyone even if asked. To run the free daily quota we also keep a count of your searches per day; we do not keep a server-side history of which keywords you searched. Your search history, saved niches, and app settings are stored only on your own device (in the app's local storage). If you email us for support, we use your email address only to reply.
3. Etsy data
NicheDoctrine uses the Etsy API to display publicly available listing and shop information. We do not access your private Etsy account, and we never ask for your Etsy password. We do not create, edit, or delete any listings.
4. How we use data
We never sell, share, or profile your data — and we never would. Account details exist only so you can sign in and use your daily searches. Each user's research is private to that user by design: "your data, your secret."
5. Cached Etsy data
We cache Etsy API responses temporarily to keep the app fast, within the limits of Etsy's API Terms (listing content is never displayed more than 6 hours old; other content never more than 24 hours old). Cached data is deleted when it expires, on request, or when Etsy's terms require it.
6. Third parties
The app is served by our hosting provider, which delivers the app files like any website host. We use no analytics or advertising services, and there is no payment processor in the current version.
7. Cookies and device storage
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The app saves small preferences on your own device (local storage) so it remembers your settings; you can clear them at any time from your browser or device settings, which deletes your on-device history with them.
8. Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete any data we hold about you at any time by emailing the contact address above — including deleting your account and its stored details entirely. We respond to requests within 30 days.
9. Security
We use reasonable measures such as HTTPS, but no system is 100% secure.
10. Children
The service is not intended for anyone under 16.
11. Changes
We may update this policy and will change the date above when we do.
12. Etsy trademark
The term "Etsy" is a trademark of Etsy, Inc. This application uses the Etsy API but is not endorsed or certified by Etsy, Inc.
