The Legal Stuff

Last updated: February 2026

TL;DR

  • • We're a real web agency. We built this tool for Google Place ID and reviews integration and use it on client sites.
  • • We have accounts. You sign in with your email and a one-time code we send you—no password. A small subscription per website pays for the reviews API.
  • • We use one session cookie so you stay signed in. No tracking cookies, no analytics, no fingerprinting.
  • • We don't sell data. To anyone. Ever.
  • • We're privately hosted in private data centers. Not AWS, not Azure, not Google Cloud.
  • • Use the service at your own risk. We provide Place and review data as delivered by Google; we don't guarantee its accuracy or availability.
  • • By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use it.

Who We Are

We're a web agency. A real one. We design websites, build websites, host websites. We run email infrastructure, VPN services, payment processing systems, and other bespoke services. We're a close-to-the-metal, performance-focused operation that's been doing this for a long time.

We built this tool for ourselves and our clients. We use it to show Google reviews on websites—Place ID lookup, review delivery API, and embed widgets. You get an account so you can manage your sites and subscriptions; sign in with email and a one-time code. After benefiting from it internally, we opened it up so others can use it too.

We'd give the core finder away for free—and we do. The Place ID finder is free. The subscription pays for the reviews API: fetching, caching, and serving Google Place and review data per website. The fee is intentionally low—enough to cover infrastructure and keep the service sustainable.

We don't answer to venture capitalists, shareholders, or advertising networks. We answer to ourselves and our users. That's how we like it.

Privacy

We have accounts. You sign in with your email and a one-time code we send you—no password. We use a single session cookie to keep you signed in so you can manage your sites and subscriptions. We don't use cookies for tracking or analytics. We don't fingerprint you.

We store what's needed to run your account and the service. We store your login email (and any backup emails you add, each verified by a code). We store your sites: Place ID, website URL, business name, API key, and linkage to Stripe for billing. We don't store payment card details—Stripe handles that, and we never see your card number.

We fetch and cache Google Place and review data. Review text, ratings, and business info come from Google's APIs under their terms. We cache and serve that data to your website via our API. We don't add tracking or sell that data—we just deliver it to you.

We don't sell data. Not to advertisers. Not to data brokers. Not to "partners." Not to anyone. Our revenue comes from subscriptions. That's it. If we ever change this policy, we'll shut down first.

Where Your Data Lives

This service runs on privately owned infrastructure in private data centers. We don't use Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or any other hyperscaler for our application or your subscription data. Your data isn't sitting on servers owned by companies whose primary business is surveillance capitalism.

Our infrastructure is managed by Overunity Digital, a Canadian company. Data stays on infrastructure we control.

Terms of Use

The service is provided "as is." We do our best to provide accurate, useful Place and review data, but we make no warranties about completeness, accuracy, or reliability. Google's data and APIs change. Our cache and delivery are a snapshot, not gospel.

Use at your own risk. You're responsible for how you use the information we provide—including how you display reviews on your site. If you rely on our API or widget and something breaks or data is missing, that's on you. We provide data delivery; you make the decisions.

Don't be an asshole. Don't use this service for places you don't own or have permission to represent. Don't try to break our systems. Don't scrape our API to build a competing service. Use common sense and basic decency.

We can refuse service. If we think you're abusing the system, we reserve the right to block your access without explanation or refund. We haven't had to do this yet, and we'd like to keep it that way.

Payments & Refunds

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your credit card information. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment processing.

Subscriptions are billed monthly. You pay for API access per website; you get a key, Place ID, and review delivery for that site. We don't offer refunds for partial months or "I changed my mind" after the service has been used.

If something genuinely goes wrong—the API is down for an extended period, your key stops working through no fault of yours, the system breaks in a way that's clearly our fault—reach out and we'll make it right. We're not jerks.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, OVERUNITY and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.

In plain English: if our service fails to show reviews, if Google changes or restricts data, if our cache is wrong or out of date, or if you rely on our API and something goes wrong on your site, we're not responsible for any resulting damages. We provide data delivery. What you do with it is your call.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms occasionally. When we do, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the new terms. If we make changes that significantly affect your rights, we'll make a reasonable effort to notify you—by email to your account address or a notice on the site.

Questions?

If you have questions about these terms, the service, or anything else, you can reach us through overunity.ca.

That's it. No 47-page document written by lawyers to confuse you. Just the facts about how we operate. Thanks for reading the whole thing—most people don't.
