1. Overview & Scope

DevStackMatrix ("we," "our," or "us"), accessible at https://www.devstackmatrix.com, provides developer intelligence, semantic search, and structured B2B SaaS evaluation tools. This Privacy Policy details how information is handled when you visit our website, execute semantic queries, or explore technical comparison matrices.

2. Information We Collect

We prioritize privacy by design and collect only minimal data necessary to deliver fast, relevant developer intelligence:

Technical Telemetry

IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and anonymized page performance metrics.

Semantic Queries

Search queries submitted to generate AI embeddings and vector similarity matches.

Support Inquiries

Name and email address when you voluntarily reach out to our engineering support team.

3. Third-Party Integrations & Developer APIs

DevStackMatrix interfaces with official developer APIs (such as Pinterest v5 API and OpenAI Embeddings) to syndicate software comparison graphics and generate high-dimensional embeddings:

  • We do not harvest, store, or profile personal credentials or private tokens from end-users on third-party platforms.
  • All API keys are securely guarded in server-side encrypted environment stores and used solely for programmatic media generation.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We utilize first-party cookies and browser local storage strictly for functional preferences (such as search history and theme parameters) and aggregated analytics. You can configure or disable cookies via your browser settings at any time without losing access to core comparison tables.
