Stored snapshot, not a live feed. Figures cite Wikimedia pageviews and the GDELT Project, each with its own observation date, and are refreshed by scheduled jobs when sources respond. Source: GDELT Project. Figure dates are source observations. Retrieval is labelled separately, and a stale observation is marked stale. No promise of accuracy or rankings.

Privacy policy

Last updated .

PulseOrbit is an AI trend radar that spots rising trends early and generates content, product, and niche ideas for creators and sellers.

This notice explains what personal information is involved when you use the website. It is written for the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. The terms of use are governed by the law of England and Wales.

Who is responsible

PulseOrbit is operated by Glen Hankin, an individual in the United Kingdom. PulseOrbit is not a registered company.

Glen Hankin is not registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. This notice does not include an ICO registration number.

What a visit involves

Two kinds of technical information can arise when you open a page.

Do not type your name, email address, or other personal details into the search box. The words stay in the address for that page, and the host's log can include that address.

What PulseOrbit does not keep

The search box is a filter, not a chat with a model. Prompt chips on the site are fixed text. This version does not send what you type to an AI provider.

Payments and the subscription cookie

PulseOrbit Pro is $19 USD per month. Glen Hankin takes that payment through Stripe. PulseOrbit is not a registered company, and Glen Hankin is not registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. Checkout asks Stripe for an email address and for payment details. PulseOrbit can read that email and the Stripe customer id back from Stripe. It does not receive the full card number.

After the webhook marks the subscription, this site can store a signed httpOnly cookie with the Stripe customer id and subscription id. A second httpOnly cookie stores the UTC day and the free idea-generation count. Both are strictly necessary for the plan you are using. They are not analytics cookies. Watched topic names for Pro are saved as metadata on the Stripe customer. They are not emailed.

Stripe's privacy policy (opens in a new tab) describes how Stripe handles the payment. Checkout does not add tax, because there is no confirmed tax registration. If Stripe is not configured on a deployment, Checkout cannot start and no payment is taken.

Hosting and logs

The site is hosted on Vercel. Vercel receives the technical details of a request so it can return the page and keep the service secure. Vercel's main processing facilities are in the United States, so those logs can be processed there.

Vercel's data processing addendum (opens in a new tab) uses the UK international data transfer addendum, together with the EU standard contractual clauses, for transfers from the United Kingdom. PulseOrbit does not keep a separate copy of the log. How long Vercel keeps a request log is set by Vercel, not by a database in this project.

Public trend sources

Stored snapshots, not a live feed. Figures come from named public sources, Wikimedia pageviews and the GDELT Project, plus YouTube and Google Trends through DataForSEO where shown. Each figure carries its own observation date. Scheduled jobs refresh the stored snapshot when a source responds. If a source does not respond, the older figure stays on the page with its older date and is marked stale. PulseOrbit does not promise accuracy, search rankings, or AI citations.

A separate ingest job fetches Wikimedia pageviews and GDELT Project news volume into the stored snapshot, and the website reads that snapshot. The job does not send your visit to Wikimedia or to GDELT, and it does not run as part of serving your page.

When a server key is set, the server can ask the YouTube Data API for public videos on a fixed list of topics, for the United Kingdom and the United States. That call does not include your name, your search, or a cookie. Cached results are discarded after 30 days. They are public video statistics, not information about you. If the key is not set, YouTube is skipped. The page does not embed a YouTube player. A video title is an ordinary link. If you follow it, YouTube's own policy applies to that visit.

A daily server job can ask DataForSEO for Google Trends search interest on that same fixed list of topics, for the United Kingdom and the United States. The job posts Google Trends Explore tasks. The login and password stay on the server. The job does not send your identity, your on-site search, or a cookie, and opening a page does not call DataForSEO. Stored readings are dropped after 30 days. They are public search-interest figures, not information about you. This is Google Trends data collected through DataForSEO, not a first-party Google Trends API. If either server credential is missing, Google Trends is skipped.

These are idea prompts only, written from the stored snapshot. PulseOrbit does not create Etsy listings, Amazon KDP uploads, Gumroad files, or product catalogs.

Optional analytics

Google Analytics 4 can count which pages on this site are opened. It is optional, and it is off unless you accept. Until you accept, the browser does not load Google's tag, does not set a Google Analytics cookie, and does not send a page measurement to Google. If you reject, or if you make no choice, it stays off. The pages still load.

The tag loads only when this deployment has a measurement ID configured and you have accepted. If the ID is not set, the tag is not loaded at all. The project source does not fall back to an ID of its own.

If you accept, your browser requests Google's tag and sends a measurement to Google Analytics. Google may then process the page address on this site, the time, a cookie identifier, browser and device information, the referring address if your browser sends one, and a coarse location derived from your IP address. Google says Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. PulseOrbit does not copy that analytics stream into its own database.

Google's privacy policy (opens in a new tab) and its Analytics privacy notes (opens in a new tab) describe that processing, including processing outside the United Kingdom. How long Google keeps the events is set in the Analytics property. PulseOrbit does not keep a second copy.

The tag on this site is not an advertising tag. The page code turns off Google signals and ad personalisation. PulseOrbit does not set marketing cookies. Google's documentation says that if an Analytics property is linked to Google Ads, the tag can set further cookies. This site does not load a separate advertising pixel.

You can reject analytics, or withdraw an acceptance, on the cookie policy. Withdrawal stops new analytics cookies and new measurements from this browser. It does not delete information Google has already received.

Cookies

Analytics cookies are optional and stay off until you accept. The cookie policy explains the Google Analytics cookies, the subscription cookie, the free-limit cookie, and how to change the analytics choice. There is no advertising cookie.

Why this processing is allowed

Hosting logs use legitimate interests: running the site, showing the page you asked for, and keeping the host's technical logs so abuse can be investigated. Those logs are not used to advertise to you. You can object to processing that uses this basis.

Optional Google Analytics uses consent. If you do not accept, PulseOrbit does not load the tag and that processing does not start. You can withdraw consent on the cookie policy page.

A Pro subscription uses the contract for that subscription. That covers the Checkout email, the Stripe customer and subscription ids, and watched topic names saved for that subscription. The free idea-generation count is kept so the daily limit can be applied.

To stop the free daily limit being reset by deleting a cookie, the server may also keep a free idea-generation count per visitor. The key is a keyed hash (HMAC) of your IP address, or for IPv6 of its network prefix (the first 64 bits), made with a server secret. The address itself is not stored. The entry holds only a number and expires at the end of the UTC day. This counter is kept only when the site is set up with a storage service for it; otherwise only the cookie is used.

There is often nothing further to retrieve or delete from PulseOrbit, because PulseOrbit does not keep an account file. Analytics events that Google has already received are held by Google, not in a PulseOrbit database.

Your rights

Under the UK GDPR you can ask to:

The portable-copy right mainly covers information you provided under a contract or with consent. The analytics choice is stored in your own browser. PulseOrbit does not hold an account file to export. Information already sent to Google is held by Google under its terms.

You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint (opens in a new tab).

Changes

If the site starts collecting a new kind of information, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
