Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 22, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Sebastien Beyrak, doing business as Purchasa ("Purchasa,"
"we," "us") collects through the Purchasa app, how we use it, and the choices you
have.
1. Information we collect
- Account information — name, email address, and authentication
data (including Sign in with Apple identifiers, if you use that option).
- Purchase requests — the goal text you type (e.g. "cheapest
65W GaN charger"), any follow-up feedback you give on a proposal, and your
resulting order history.
- Your taste profile — a record of the decisions you make about
proposals (which you approve, turn down, revise, cancel or return, and any reason
you give), and short notes about your shopping preferences that Purchasa writes from
those decisions or that you write yourself. You can see these notes in the app,
delete any of them, turn the learning off, or erase the profile entirely.
- Shipping address (including the name on it), used to price
proposals and to fulfil approved orders. To show a merchant's real tax and shipping
in a proposal, we enter your name and shipping address into that merchant's
checkout before you approve. No order is placed and no payment details are entered
unless you approve the purchase.
- Payment information — processed by Stripe and our
card-issuing partner; Purchasa does not store your full card or bank details on
our own servers.
- Order updates from merchants — for merchants that don't
report order status to us directly, we give the merchant an email address that
belongs to Purchasa and is unique to your order. We read the emails the merchant
sends there (order, shipping and delivery notices) to track your order, and keep
each message's subject line and the tracking details found in it, not the
message itself.
- Tracking numbers — from those emails, from the merchant, or
added by you, used to show where your order is.
- Usage and device data — basic technical data (app version,
device type, crash logs) used to keep the Service working.
- Web app sign-in — if you use Purchasa in a browser at
app.purchasa.xyz, your sign-in token is kept in that browser's local storage so you
stay signed in. Signing out removes it. The web app reads the same account data as
the iOS app and stores nothing else in your browser.
2. How we use this information
We use this information to operate the Service: to research and propose
purchases, process approved payments, maintain your order
history and account balance, provide customer support, and improve the Service.
Personalisation. We use your taste profile to make proposals fit
you: what you approved and turned down before, and the reasons you gave, are sent to
the agent as guidance when it researches your next purchase. It never removes your
approval — every purchase still waits for you. Turning learning off in the app stops
new decisions being recorded; erasing the profile removes what has been recorded. We
do not use your taste profile to train anyone else's models, and we do not use it to
personalise anything for other users.
3. Third parties who process data on our behalf
Purchasa relies on third-party service providers to operate. Depending on the
feature you use, this can include:
- Anthropic (the Claude API) — your goal text and related
context is sent to Anthropic to power the research and purchasing agent. This
includes your taste profile: the preference notes and recent purchase decisions
described above are sent with each research request, and your decisions are sent
when Purchasa updates those notes.
- Stripe — for subscription billing and prepaid balance
top-ups.
- Our card-issuing and checkout partners (including Highnote
and Rye) — to issue the spend-limited payment instrument used for approved
purchases and to complete checkout with merchants.
- Resend — to send you account and order email, and to receive
the order emails merchants send to your order's Purchasa address.
- EasyPost — receives your order's tracking numbers to report
where the parcel is and when it arrives.
- Our database/hosting providers — to store your account data
securely.
These providers only receive the information needed to perform their function
and are contractually restricted from using it for other purposes. We do not
sell your personal information.
Merchants. When the agent proposes a purchase, your name and
shipping address are entered into the proposed merchant's checkout to get its real
tax and shipping, even if you do not go on to approve the purchase. Some merchants
keep unfinished checkouts. For merchants that only sell to account holders (such as
Amazon), this happens in Purchasa's own account with that merchant, which keeps the
addresses entered into it. Merchants are not our service providers: they handle what
they receive under their own privacy policies, and deleting your Purchasa account does
not remove it from their records.
4. Data retention and deletion
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active, so that
order history and balance work correctly. Your taste profile is kept until you erase
it or delete your account; only your most recent decisions are kept behind it. You can request deletion of
your account and associated data at any time by emailing
support@purchasa.xyz; we will delete or anonymize
your data within a reasonable period, except where we are required to retain
records (e.g. transaction records) for legal, tax, or fraud-prevention purposes.
5. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your
information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we
cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Children's privacy
Purchasa is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, anyone under 18. We
do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete
your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of
these rights, contact us at support@purchasa.xyz.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be
reflected by an updated "Last updated" date above.
