Overview

Listvana LLC ("we," "us," or "our") is a Chrome Extension and web application designed exclusively for Etsy sellers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the Listvana Chrome Extension, visit our website at https://listvana.app, or interact with any of our services (collectively, the "Service").

By installing the Listvana Chrome Extension or using any part of our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Plain English Summary: We collect only what we need to make Listvana work for you. We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. Your Etsy data belongs to you and is used only to power the tools you explicitly use within Listvana.

Information We Collect

3.1 Account & Authentication Information

When you create a Listvana account, we collect:

  • Email address (used for login, billing communications, and service notices)
  • Authentication tokens issued by our identity provider (Clerk)
  • Account creation timestamp
  • Subscription plan tier (free, starter, pro, or elite)

We use Clerk for authentication. Your password is never stored by Listvana directly - it is managed entirely by Clerk's secure infrastructure.

3.2 Payment Information

Listvana uses Stripe to process all payments. We do not store, see, or have access to your credit card number, CVV, or full payment details at any point. Stripe stores this information on their PCI-DSS compliant servers. We retain only:

  • Your Stripe Customer ID (a reference token, not payment data)
  • Your Stripe Subscription ID
  • Your current subscription plan and status

3.3 Usage Data

We collect limited operational data to enforce plan limits and improve the Service:

  • Number of AI feature calls made per day (to enforce daily limits per plan tier)
  • The date of the last AI usage reset
  • Error reports submitted to our error monitoring provider (Sentry), which may include browser type, extension version, and a description of the error - but never personal content

3.4 Email Subscription (Optional)

If you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter or product updates through the Listvana welcome screen or account settings, we collect your email address and add it to our mailing list managed by Brevo. This is entirely optional and you may unsubscribe at any time.

3.5 Information We Do NOT Collect

❌ No passwords ❌ No browsing history ❌ No keystrokes ❌ No screen captures ❌ No Etsy buyer data ❌ No financial account numbers ❌ No social security numbers ❌ No location data

Etsy Data Access

Listvana integrates with the Etsy API to provide seller tools. This section explains exactly what Etsy data we access, why we access it, and how it is handled.

4.1 OAuth Authorization

To access your Etsy data, you must explicitly authorize Listvana through Etsy's official OAuth 2.0 authentication flow. This means:

  • You will be redirected to Etsy's own website to grant permission
  • You will see exactly which permissions Listvana is requesting before approving
  • You can revoke this authorization at any time from your Etsy account settings
  • Listvana never sees your Etsy username or password

4.2 Data We Access via the Etsy API

Data Type Why We Access It Stored?
Your own listing titles, descriptions, tags, images To power AI optimization, profit calculator, and listing health tools Temporarily (in-session only)
Your shop name and public profile To personalize the Listvana dashboard No
Your own sales data (order counts, revenue totals) To generate shop health analytics and profit reports No - processed in real time, not stored
Publicly visible competitor listing data To power the Competitor Intelligence and Spy tools No - displayed live, not retained

4.3 What We Do NOT Do With Etsy Data

  • We do not store raw Etsy listing content on our servers beyond what is temporarily needed to process an AI request
  • We do not access data from Etsy buyers (their personal information, addresses, or payment info)
  • We do not share your Etsy data with any third party for marketing, advertising, or analytics purposes
  • We do not use your Etsy data to train AI models
  • We do not scrape Etsy in violation of their Terms of Service

Important: Listvana acts as a service provider to you (the seller). Any Etsy data accessed through the API is processed solely to deliver the tools you use. You remain in full control of your Etsy authorization and can revoke it at any time.

05

06

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

6.1 Service Providers (Sub-Processors)

Provider Purpose Data Shared
Clerk User authentication and session management Email address, authentication tokens

Oracle Cloud Hosting our backend server and database All data stored on our servers (access controlled)

6.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to protect the rights or safety of Listvana LLC, our users, or the public.

6.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring party. You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website at least 30 days before any such transfer occurs.

6.4 No Sale of Data

We will never sell your personal information to data brokers, advertisers, or any third party for commercial purposes. This is an unconditional commitment.

07

Data Retention

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the Service or as required by law:

  • Account data (email, plan, Stripe IDs) - Retained for the duration of your account plus 90 days after account deletion, to handle any billing disputes
  • AI usage counters - Reset daily; raw counters are not archived
  • Etsy listing content processed by AI - Not stored; processed transiently and discarded immediately after the AI response is returned
  • Error logs (Sentry) - Retained for 90 days per Sentry's default policy
  • Email subscription data (Brevo) - Retained until you unsubscribe

To request deletion of your account and all associated data, email us at [email protected] with the subject line "Data Deletion Request." We will process your request within 30 days.

08

Security

We take the security of your data seriously. Our security measures include:

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser, the Chrome Extension, and our servers
  • Encrypted API key storage - any API keys stored locally are encrypted before being saved to Chrome storage
  • Bearer token authentication - all API calls from the extension require a valid, short-lived Clerk JWT token
  • Server-side AI proxying - the Anthropic Claude API is only called from our server, never directly from your browser, preventing API key exposure
  • Rate limiting - our server enforces request rate limits to prevent abuse
  • Access controls - our Oracle Cloud server and SQLite database are protected by firewall rules and SSH key authentication
  • No sensitive data in URLs - we never transmit personal information as URL parameters

While we implement industry-standard safeguards, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your Listvana account and to keep your browser and extension up to date.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you by email within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, in compliance with applicable law.
