Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 6, 2026
PrestaChamps ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Ultrafast Search service at ultrafastsearch.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website and search service. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

- Product names, descriptions, and reference codes
- Prices, stock levels, and availability status
- Categories, attributes, features, and manufacturer information
- Product images (URLs only)
Important: We do not collect, store, or process any personal data about your customers. Ultrafast Search indexes product data only. Customer names, emails, addresses, order histories, and payment details are never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
1.2 Contact Form Data
When you contact us through our website or email, we collect:

1.4 Website Usage Data
We collect anonymized usage data when you visit our website, including:
- Pages visited and time spent
- Browser type and device information

1.5 Search Analytics
Our module collects anonymized search analytics data to help store owners understand search behavior:
- Search queries (what visitors search for)
- Click-through rates on search results
- Search result performance metrics
This data contains no personally identifiable information and is stored within your own PrestaShop database, not on our servers.
2. How We Store Your Data
Product data indexed by Ultrafast Search is stored on secure cloud infrastructure located within the European Union. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. Our infrastructure providers maintain SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.
Each store's search index is logically isolated and identified by a unique prefix. No data is shared between stores.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- Product data: To provide fast, accurate search results on your PrestaShop store
- Contact data: To respond to your inquiries, provide technical support, and communicate service updates
- Account data: To manage your subscription and billing
- Usage data: To improve our website and service
4. Cookies
Our website uses a limited number of cookies for essential functionality and basic analytics. For full details, please see our Cookie Policy.
The Ultrafast Search module installed on your store does not set any cookies on your visitors' browsers.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Meilisearch Cloud: Powers the search engine infrastructure (EU-hosted)
- OpenAI (optional): If you enable the AI-powered semantic search feature, product text data is sent to OpenAI's API to generate search embeddings. This feature is entirely optional and disabled by default. No personal customer data is ever sent to OpenAI.
- Payment processors: For secure subscription billing
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy and we encourage you to review them. We only share the minimum data necessary for each service to function.
6. Data Retention
- Product index data: Retained for the duration of your active subscription. Deleted within 30 days of account cancellation.
- Contact form data: Retained for up to 2 years for support reference purposes.
- Account and billing data: Retained as required by applicable tax and accounting laws (typically 7 years).
- Website analytics: Anonymized data retained for up to 26 months.
7. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights:
- Right of access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
- Right to erasure: Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")

- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw that consent at any time
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
- TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit
- Encryption at rest for stored data
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Access controls and authentication for all systems
- Isolated per-store data architecture
9. International Data Transfers
Your product data is stored within the EU. In cases where data may be processed outside the EEA (for example, when using the optional AI features via OpenAI), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission.
