Privacy without theater.
NoBrandUSA works without accounts or advertising profiles. Still, to answer searches and protect the service against abuse, it processes a limited amount of technical data.
1. Overview
NoBrandUSA lets you search brands and products to help identify the owner and the country associated with the company or corporate group when that information is available.
The normal flow is simple: the app sends your query to the NoBrandUSA backend, the backend checks trademark registries, complementary product sources, and internal resolution rules, and the answer comes back to your device. Your personal history is stored locally in the app.
Key idea
The service does not use your data for advertising. It does use a backend to resolve queries, enforce anti-abuse limits, and receive feedback if you decide to send it. Without that backend, the app could not return cross-checked results.
3. Data we do process
| Data | Purpose | How it is handled |
|---|---|---|
| Search text | Answer your query | Processed in the backend to build the result. Some technical responses may be cached. |
| Network IP | Security and rate limiting | HTTPS traffic carries it normally. Persistent rate limiting uses hashed client-derived keys. |
| Random installation identifier | Protect the service and issue tokens | The app stores it in Keychain and the backend may issue a signed token tied to that installation. |
| Local history | Show previous searches | Stored only on your device through SwiftData. |
| Optional feedback | Review quality and wrong results | If you send it, the service may receive your vote, reason, optional comment, result context, and pseudonymized technical metadata. |
