Privacy policy

Last updated October 13, 2026

This policy explains what BeMention collects, why, and your choices.

What we collect

  • Free check form: business name, city, state and optional website. Your email address only if you choose to give it, to get the report by email.
  • Technical data: a one-way hash of your IP address, used only to prevent abuse. We do not store the IP address itself.
  • Public business information: names, websites and public contact details of local businesses, collected from public sources to measure AI visibility and to contact businesses about their results.

Cookies and analytics

  • Our own cookies (first-party): a random visitor ID (2 years), how you first found us and the latest campaign or site that sent you (1 year and 90 days), and your ad measurement choice (1 year). We use them to know which pages and campaigns lead to checks and purchases.
  • Product analytics (PostHog, US): which pages are viewed and which steps of the check are completed. Until you allow ad measurement it stores nothing on your device. It never receives business names, email addresses or your private report links, and records no sessions.
  • Ad measurement (Google Analytics and the Meta pixel) loads only after you choose “Allow ad measurement”, and never when your browser sends Global Privacy Control. If you allowed it, we also tell Meta when you complete a check, start a checkout or buy, with your email address only as a one-way (SHA-256) hash.

How we use it

  • To produce and email your AI visibility report.
  • To send occasional product updates. Every email tells you how to opt out, and we honor opt-outs promptly.
  • We do not sell personal information.

Service providers

We host on Cloudflare and use AI providers (OpenAI and Google) to ask our questions and read the answers. They receive cities, industries and the answers themselves; your email address is never sent to them.

Payments

Paid plans are sold through Polar, our merchant of record. Polar collects your card and billing details and shares your name, email and subscription status with us. We never see your full card number.
