The small print

Privacy

We count what happens on the wall so makers can see their reach. We don’t sell data, show ads, or use third-party trackers, and we never store your IP address. Here’s exactly what we keep.

Last updated 1 October 2026

1. Who we are

ShowMyProduct is run by @akbuilds_ on X. For anything about your data, email support@showmyproduct.com or DM us on X.

2. If you sign in with X

We get your X id, handle, display name and profile picture. We don’t get your password or email, we don’t keep your X access token after sign-in, and we never post for you. Your handle and picture appear on your poster and its page.

If you leave product feedback

If you leave public feedback on a product, we keep your X id, handle, picture, feedback and its dates. Anyone can read it and the maker's reply. If you already have a builder profile here, we link to it and show how many products you've given visible feedback on. You can edit or delete your feedback. Reports are visible only to the team; we keep a per-account posting counter to limit spam, including after a post is deleted.

3. If you paste a poster

  • What you enter and upload: title, line, link, category, and your image or video. These are public.
  • The link to your X post, if you give it, and whether our checks found your post and your badge.
  • A one-way hash of your IP address, to stop spam and repeat pasting. The IP itself isn’t stored.
  • If you use the badge, we download your homepage now and then to check it’s still there.
  • For the Grow tools, we read your homepage and send it, with your poster’s title and line, to an AI model (through OpenRouter) to describe the problem your product solves. Then we search public Reddit posts for people with that problem, and an AI model from TypeSafe judges which ones fit. All of it is public information; you can edit or rewrite the description any time.
  • If you add an email on your stats page (“Email me about my poster”), we keep it to email you about your poster and ShowMyProduct, with an unsubscribe link in every email. X never gives us your email; this is the only way we get it.

4. If you leave your email for a maker

Products on the wall can ask for your email (“Get updates”, or answering what the maker is looking for, such as beta testers). If you tick the box and send it, we keep:

  • your email address, which product it was for and what you signed up for;
  • the short note you wrote, if any;
  • when you signed up, and a one-way hash of your IP address to stop spam sign-ups.

Your email goes to that product’s maker only. They can see it on their stats page and download it to email you about their product. We don’t email you ourselves, don’t add you to anything else, and never sell it. To stop hearing from a maker, use the unsubscribe link in their emails or reply to them. To have your email deleted from our side too, email support@showmyproduct.com.

5. If you join the early adopters list

We keep your email, the categories you picked, the page you signed up on, when you joined, and a one-way hash of your IP address to stop spam sign-ups. We use it only to email you new products from the wall, about once a week. Before the first issue we’ll send one email asking you to confirm. Every email has an unsubscribe link that works in one click. We don’t share the list with makers or anyone else, and never sell it.

6. Everyone who visits

To count visitors and give makers their stats, we record:

  • A short visitor code: a one-way hash of your IP address and browser details. It lets us count unique visitors and who’s online without knowing who you are. Your IP address is never stored.
  • Rough location: city, country and approximate coordinates, worked out by our host, Cloudflare, from your connection. Never your precise location.
  • Device, system and browser (for example “Mobile · iOS · Safari”), read from your browser’s user agent.
  • Where you came from (the site that linked you here) and which page you’re on.
  • Which posters were on your screen, and which ones you clicked.

When you click through to a product, its maker sees that click in their stats: the time, your city and country, device and where you came from, shown under a made-up name and cartoon face. The live globe shows people online right now at city level, with the same made-up names and faces. Neither ever shows who you actually are.

We also count visits from bots and AI crawlers (for example Googlebot or GPTBot) by their published name, so makers can see who reads their page.

7. Cookies and storage

  • smp_session: keeps you signed in, for up to 30 days. Only set if you sign in.
  • smp_oauth: used for up to 10 minutes while you sign in with X.
  • smp_ref (in your browser’s session storage): remembers which site sent you here, until you close the tab.

No advertising, analytics or tracking cookies from anyone else.

8. How long we keep it

  • Daily visitor codes: about 2 days.
  • Who’s online: minutes.
  • The live feed of clicks and new posters: 24 hours.
  • Details of each click (city, device, source): 90 days.
  • Emails left for a maker: until the maker’s product is removed, or you ask us to delete yours.
  • The early adopters list: until you unsubscribe (or ask us to delete your email).
  • A maker’s email for poster news: until they remove it or unsubscribe.
  • Totals (seen, clicks, clicks per country, per day): kept with the poster, because they’re part of its public record.
  • Posters and their pages: until they’re taken down or removed (see the terms).

9. Who else is involved

  • OpenRouter and TypeSafe run the AI behind the Grow tools (on public product and Reddit text).
  • GitHub runs the daily search of public Reddit posts.
  • Resend delivers our emails (confirmations, the weekly email, poster news).
  • Cloudflare hosts the site and stores its database and uploads. It works out rough location from your connection.
  • X handles sign-in, and shows your post under its own privacy policy.
  • OpenFreeMap serves the map tiles your browser loads on the live globe and the stats map.
  • DuckDuckGo’s icon service provides the small site icons in makers’ stats.

We don’t sell or rent anyone’s data, and we don’t share it for advertising.

10. Your choices

  • Take your poster down at any time: open it on the wall and press “Take this poster down”.
  • Sign out at any time (in the paste panel); that deletes the sign-in cookie.
  • Ask us what we hold about your account, or to delete your posters, their pages and your account data: email support@showmyproduct.com or DM @akbuilds_ on X.

Visitor stats aren’t linked to a name or account, so we usually can’t pick out one visitor’s rows.

11. Children

ShowMyProduct isn’t meant for children under 13, and X accounts require you to be at least 13.

12. Changes

If what we collect changes, we’ll update this page first. The date at the top shows the latest version.
