The 5×5

Your browser receives and keeps only what the results page shows: the short display answers and citation counts, saved in your own browser's local storage so you can return to them. Nothing about your run is stored server-side in readable form.

The complete answers and citation links are held encrypted on our servers only long enough to deliver a Citation Tracker purchase — we cannot browse them. They're decrypted in memory only to fulfill or resend an order, and deleted automatically: after 7 days if you don't purchase, or 33 days after you do (the resend window).

Alongside that we keep non-identifying operational metadata — a random run ID, timestamp, the category you picked, timing and success stats — plus your IP address, briefly, to enforce the daily run limit and defend against abuse. IP addresses are automatically redacted after 90 days.

The 5×5 Citation Tracker ($5)

Payment runs through Stripe, which handles your card and collects your email at checkout. We never store your email address ourselves — every delivery and resend re-reads it from your verified Stripe order at send time, nothing more.

At checkout you can opt in to the what-next series (six short emails on what to do with your report). That's the only mailing list FoundFacts keeps, and it's opt-in only — checking the box, or a single click on your order page afterward. Unsubscribe any time; we don't sell it or share it.

The contact form

If you message us, we store your name, email, and message so we can reply — nothing more. We don't sell it, and we won't add you to any mailing list without your explicit opt-in.

What we don't do

No accounts. No ad tracking. No selling your data. Ever.
