Privacy
Clear data handling for a shopping assistant.
Tikgu only asks for the information needed to rank products, save results, and improve recommendation quality.
What is stored
Account identity, guided answers, recommendation runs, saved shortlists, feedback, and analytics event IDs.
Location handling
Precise location is only used for nearby store lookup. If denied, the app falls back to broad regions or online-only results.
Server-side secrets
Gemini, Neon, Clerk secret, and Novus server values stay server-side. Public keys are limited to publishable browser values.
Visible freshness
Result pages show when data was checked, when it expires, and whether live grounding was used.
Production setup keeps secrets out of the client.
Environment variables are documented in the project example file. Client-visible values are prefixed intentionally; private service keys are consumed only in server routes.
