Privacy policy
Last updated: 14 August 2026.
Albavo is a keyword research tool for Etsy sellers. This page says exactly what it stores, why, for how long, and how you can have your data removed.
In short: Albavo sells nothing to anyone, shows no advertising, uses no analytics, and does not follow you across sites. There are no advertising cookies, and therefore no consent banner to click through.
1. Who is the data controller
Albavo is published by a private individual, on a non-professional basis. Under article 6-III-2 of the French Act on confidence in the digital economy, the publisher's identity has been given to the hosting provider, whose details appear below, and may be obtained by any judicial authority entitled to request it.
- Service: Albavo — albavo.com
- Contact: contact@albavo.com
- Hosting provider: OUIHEBERG SARL, 9 rue des Colonnes, 75002 Paris, France — RCS Paris 888 341 997
2. What Albavo stores
a. Your account
If you connect your Etsy account, Albavo keeps your Etsy user id, your shop name and the access tokens issued by Etsy. Those tokens are used only to read your listings and shop information. Albavo never sees your Etsy password: you sign in on Etsy's own site, which returns a limited authorisation to us.
The only permissions requested are read access to your shop and read access to your listings. Albavo cannot edit, publish or delete anything on your Etsy account.
b. Shop and market data
Titles, tags, prices, favourites and shop information — yours, and those of the public listings returned by searches. This comes from Etsy and is kept so it does not have to be requested again on every visit.
c. Your readings and judgements
The keywords you analyse, the dated history of measurements, the judgements you make yourself (for example marking two listings as the same product), your keyword lists, and the readings you choose to send from your Etsy seller dashboard.
d. Display preferences
Three cookies store your language, light or dark theme, and target market. They contain no identifier and cannot be used to track anyone. A fourth, signed cookie keeps your session open.
e. Server logs
Like any web server, ours records IP addresses, timestamps and requested pages. These logs are used for security and fault diagnosis, nothing else.
3. Why, and on what basis
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Providing the service you asked for | Performance of a contract |
| Keeping your readings and history | Performance of a contract |
| Security, abuse prevention | Legitimate interest |
| Remembering your display preferences | Service you explicitly requested |
4. Measurements shared between accounts
Some values are public facts about the marketplace: the number of active listings for a keyword is the same for everyone. Those measurements are pooled between accounts, with their date, so the same thing is not measured over and over.
Nothing personal goes into that pool: not your shop name, not your listings, not your judgements, not your lists. Another user can never learn that you searched for a keyword, nor see anything about your shop.
5. Who else sees this data
Albavo does not sell, rent or trade any data. Three providers are involved technically:
- Etsy — the source of the data. Your read requests go through their programming interface, under the authorisation you granted.
- Anthropic (United States) — two optional features call an AI model: comparing two listing photos, and suggesting an equivalent keyword in another language. Only public Etsy image addresses and keywords are sent. No account data, no tokens, no personal information.
- OuiHeberg — server hosting.
There is no other third-party call. Typefaces are served from our own server rather than an outside service: no IP address is passed to anyone merely by displaying a page.
6. For how long
- Account and tokens — until you disconnect your Etsy account or ask for deletion.
- Readings, history, judgements — for as long as your account exists: their whole value is that they last, since Etsy only shows a rolling thirty days.
- Server logs — a few weeks, by automatic rotation.
- Backups — sixty days, then erased.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to and port your data. Write to contact@albavo.com; we answer within one month.
You can withdraw the authorisation given to Albavo at any time from your Etsy account settings, which immediately cuts our read access.
If an answer does not satisfy you, you may complain to your national data protection authority, or to the French CNIL.
8. Security
The site is served over HTTPS only. The session cookie is signed and sent over an encrypted connection only. Each shop's data is kept in a separate space.
9. Changes
Any change to this page will be dated at the top. A significant change will be flagged inside the application.
