Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 9, 2026

Pre-submission draft: the verified publisher’s legal name and business address must be inserted here, and the support mailbox must be tested, before this policy is used for public launch.

This policy explains how Dropshipping Product Scout, an independently operated developer service (“we,” “us,” or “our”), handles information when you use its anonymous, read-only product research tools in ChatGPT.

1. Scope

Version 1 does not require an account or sign-in. This independently operated, read-only third-party tool searches a small, manually reviewed, general-audience curated catalog, retrieves current product, approved variant, and warehouse availability, and estimates shipping for an approved variant. Restricted and unknown products are not supported. It does not connect to or access CJ customer accounts, orders, tracking, payment details, store accounts, disputes, or customer records, and it cannot make purchases, reserve inventory, book shipments, place orders, or publish products.

2. Information processed

Lookup data

We process only validated arguments needed for the requested lookup: a product keyword or SKU, catalog filters, variant identifiers, quantity, and origin and destination country codes. Version 1 does not request a name, email address, phone number, street address, postal code, tax number, payment information, account password, or upstream access token.

Please do not place personal, customer, credential, payment, or confidential information in tool fields. The service does not need it to perform these lookups.

Operational and security data

The application processes a random request identifier, request route, response status, latency, coarse error category, and rate-limit state to operate and protect the service. Source IP addresses may be processed transiently to apply rate limits. The application is designed not to log full ChatGPT prompts, request or response bodies, CJ credentials, access tokens, refresh tokens, or raw upstream responses. Hosting and network providers may process IP addresses and TLS or security events as part of providing their infrastructure.

Support communications

If you email support, we process your email address and the message and attachments you choose to send.

3. How information is used

We do not sell personal information, use lookup data for targeted advertising, or display advertisements.

4. Service providers and third-party data

The minimum validated lookup arguments are sent to CJ Dropshipping product and logistics APIs to return the requested data. We do not intentionally send your ChatGPT identity, full conversation, or unrelated content to that provider. CJ Dropshipping is a third-party data source; this does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or an official partnership.

Alibaba Cloud provides application hosting, Volcengine provides domain or DNS administration, and Caddy and its certificate-authority partners provide HTTPS certificate automation. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy notices. We may also disclose information where required by law or reasonably needed to protect users, rights, or service security.

5. Cookies and accounts

The public pages and Version 1 tools do not set application cookies, create user profiles, or maintain user accounts.

6. Retention

Operational logs are minimized, size-rotated, and kept only as long as reasonably necessary for reliability, security, and troubleshooting. In-memory rate-limit data expires automatically. Support correspondence is kept as needed to resolve the request, maintain an appropriate support record, meet legal obligations, or protect the service. We may retain de-identified aggregate metrics that cannot reasonably identify a person.

7. Security

We use HTTPS, server-side credential storage, restricted containers, input and output validation, request-size limits, rate limiting, timeouts, response field allowlists, and log minimization. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International processing and your rights

Service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection, or to complain to a regulator. Because Version 1 has no user accounts and does not intentionally log request bodies, we may be unable to locate a lookup by identity. We will respond to verifiable requests as required by applicable law.

9. Children

The service is not directed to children under 13. Where local law requires a higher minimum age, that requirement applies.

10. Changes and contact

We may update this policy and will post the revised effective date on this page.
