Your data never leaves your computer.
Spike Search runs on your computer. This page says what that means in practice.
What runs where
Everything runs on your own computer: the app, the pages you see and the checks. Your list is made there, from data your computer asks Google for.
What Google sees
Read-only requests to Google Analytics and Search Console, made with the Google access you set up yourself. Google can see those requests, the same as for any tool you connect.
What Spike Search sees
Nothing from the app. There is no account, no server on our side and no tracking inside the app. The only thing we hold is the email addresses people give the waitlist. They are stored with Buttondown, the email service we use, and used only to tell you when the beta opens.
Where your data is kept
In a folder on your computer, as plain files: a daily snapshot of each site and a saved copy to keep things quick.
How to delete your data
Delete the app’s data folder. To end Google access, remove the app’s access in your Google account.
This website
This website uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people read. It sets cookies and sends visit data to Google. The app on your computer does not do this. The fonts are served from this site, not from Google.
