Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data AnswerMonk collects when you run an AI-visibility audit or use the platform, how we use it, who processes it on our behalf, and the choices and rights you have.

Who we are

AnswerMonk (https://www.answermonk.ai) is a GEO / AEO audit tool that measures how brands appear in answers from AI search engines. The service is operated by Dreamport Technology Private Limited, an India company (CIN U78100RJ2025PTC104714), whose registered address is 72 Mangal Vihar (MCL), Scheme No. 5, Bhoggore, Alwar, Rajasthan – 301001, India. In this policy, "AnswerMonk", "we", "us" and "our" refer to Dreamport Technology Private Limited operating the AnswerMonk service.

For any privacy question, or to exercise your data rights, email us at [email protected].

What data we collect

Visitors and free-audit users

You can run a basic AI-visibility audit without creating an account. When you do, we process:

• The website URL or domain you submit, together with any audit inputs such as your business category or the competitor names you provide.
• Data we generate from that submission — the buyer-intent prompts we create, the answers we record from AI engines, the pages we crawl on your site and on the sources those answers cite, and the resulting AI-visibility report and action plan.
• Standard technical data your browser sends (such as IP address, user agent and referring page) and basic usage analytics, described under "Cookies and analytics" below.

Account holders

If you create an account or subscribe to a paid plan, we additionally process:

• Your account email address and the details used to sign you in.
• The audits, reports and saved domains associated with your account.
• Your plan and subscription status. The free audit tier requires no signup; paid monitoring is $19/month. Payments are handled by our payment provider — we do not store full card numbers.

Connected Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 (optional)

You can optionally connect Google Search Console (GSC) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to enrich your report. This uses Google OAuth and requests read-only access. When connected, we read metrics such as search queries, impressions, clicks and traffic for the property you authorise, and we use them only to produce and improve your AnswerMonk report. We never write to, change or delete anything in your Google account, and you can disconnect at any time from your account settings or from your Google security settings. Our use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

How we use data

• To run your audit: generate buyer-intent prompts, query AI engines, record where your brand and competitors appear, crawl your site and cited sources, and build your report and action plan.
• To provide account features — saving reports, monitoring domains over time on paid plans, and checking whether fixes changed the AI answers.
• To operate, secure, debug and improve the service, including aggregated, non-identifying usage analysis.
• To communicate with you about your account, the audits you requested, and important service updates.
• To meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your submitted URLs, connected analytics data or reports for advertising.

AI sub-processors and third parties

Running an audit means sending prompts to third-party AI engines and using specialist data providers. Each sub-processor processes data only to perform its function for us, under its own terms:

• AI engines — OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude) and Google (Gemini), which receive the generated prompts and return the answers we record.
• Search and SEO data — SerpAPI and DataForSEO, used to gather search-result and related SEO signals.
• Google — for the optional GSC and GA4 connections and for site analytics.
• Hosting — Railway, which hosts the application and its PostgreSQL database.

The prompts we send to AI engines describe a category and the brands in it; we do not include your account credentials or connected-analytics data in them. For the current list of sub-processors and how we secure data, see Sub-processors & Security.

Cookies and analytics

We use a small number of cookies: essential cookies that keep your session working, and analytics cookies. For product analytics we use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager to understand, in aggregate, how the site and the tool are used. You can control cookies through your browser, and our Cookie Policy explains each category and how to decline non-essential cookies.

Data retention

We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purposes above:

• Audit inputs, recorded answers and generated reports are kept while they remain useful to you — for account holders, while your account is active; for anonymous free audits, for a limited period so that your report link keeps working.
• Account data is kept while your account is open, and is deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period after you close it, unless we must retain it to meet a legal obligation.
• Connected GSC and GA4 access ends as soon as you disconnect or revoke it; metrics we cached from it are deleted on the same basis as the reports they informed.
• Aggregated, non-identifying analytics that cannot single you out may be kept indefinitely.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to have it deleted, and to object to or restrict certain processing. Indian users have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023; users in the EEA or UK have rights under the GDPR.

To exercise any of these, email [email protected] from the address associated with your account and tell us what you would like to do. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

International data transfers

AnswerMonk is operated from India, and your data is processed there. Because we rely on the sub-processors listed above, some data is also processed in other countries, including the United States (for example by our AI-engine, analytics and data providers). Where data crosses borders, we rely on the safeguards and contractual terms those providers offer to keep it protected.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls that limit data to authorised personnel, and hosting on managed infrastructure. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we review our practices and work to keep them current. There is more detail on our Sub-processors & Security page.

Children

AnswerMonk is a business tool and is not directed to children. The service is intended for users aged 18 or over, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the product and the processors we rely on evolve. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date shown on this page, and we will highlight significant changes where appropriate. Continuing to use AnswerMonk after an update means you accept the revised policy.
