Who we are

POD Radar (podrada.com) is a private market-research tool operated by a single print-on-demand seller for their own business. It has no public users and no sign-up.

What data POD Radar processes

Public market data: Etsy search results, shop and listing pages, ads in the Meta Ad Library and Google Trends interest, for the keywords the owner chooses.
Google Ads API data: keyword ideas, average monthly search volume, 12-month search history, competition and top-of-page bid ranges (Keyword Planner), read from the owner's own Google Ads account with read-only access.
Operating data: the owner's sign-in for the private dashboard and technical logs of each daily run.

POD Radar does not collect personal data from visitors of this website. It uses no cookies on podrada.com.

How the data is used

The data is stored in the owner's private database and used only to show market trends and product ideas to the owner. It is not sold, rented, shared with third parties or used for advertising.

Google Ads API data is used only for keyword research for the owner's own store: it is not used to manage campaigns, not combined with data of other Google Ads accounts and not disclosed to anyone else. POD Radar's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

When the owner asks the built-in AI analyst a question, aggregated market figures from the database are sent to the AI provider the owner configured (Anthropic or OpenAI) to produce the answer.

Storage, security and retention

Data stays on the owner's computer. The dashboard requires the owner's sign-in; the database is never exposed to the internet. Credentials are kept in local configuration files. Market data is kept as long as the owner needs it for trend history and can be deleted at any time. Access to the Google Ads account can be removed at any time in Google Ads (Admin → Access and security).
