Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
SneakerPulse (sneakers-pulse.com) publishes sneaker resale market analytics. This page explains what happens to data when you visit. In short: there are no accounts, we do not ask you for personal information, and we do not sell visitor data.
What we collect
We do not require registration and we do not collect names, addresses or payment details. We use two analytics services to understand how many people visit and which pages they read:
| Service | What it does | Cookies? |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Web Analytics | Counts page views and referrers in aggregate. | No cookies. |
| Google Analytics 4 | Measures visits, pages viewed, which links and buttons are used, and general location (country/region level). | Yes, first-party cookies such as _ga. |
The search box
We do not send what you typed to Google Analytics as an event. When you search or ask on the homepage, the events we send are anonymous: how many characters you typed, a coarse kind (shoe name, size, price question and so on), how many results appeared, which result position you picked, and whether the question was answered or declined (and which AI tier read it). We record what kind of question it was, not what you typed.
If you ask a full question, it is sent to our Cloudflare Worker. A language model, running either on one of our own machines or on Cloudflare's Workers AI, reads it to work out what you are asking; the answer itself comes from our sales data. We do not store the question, and Cloudflare processes it under its privacy policy.
The results page address contains what you searched for (for example ?q= followed by a
shoe name): that is how a search works with JavaScript off, and it is also the address you land on when
you open a result. We remove the search words from the page address and referrer we send to Google
Analytics, but Cloudflare Web Analytics sees page addresses in aggregate. Please do not type personal
information into the box.
Your browser also stores a few small values locally so the site works as expected: your platform choice (All, GOAT or StockX), the shoe size you pick, the last three shoes you opened from the search box, the last shoe you priced in the price checker (its listing id, that week's median price and sale count, and the date, kept for 90 days so the checker can show what changed since your last check; the "Forget this" link under the result clears it), and short-lived cached copies of API responses so pages load faster. These stay in your browser, are not sent to us, and are cleared when you clear site data.
Email newsletter
If you sign up for the email newsletter, your address goes to Buttondown, the service that stores the list and sends the emails (Buttondown's privacy policy). We use it only to send that email. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time using the contact address below.
Server logs
The site is served by Cloudflare Pages, and our data API runs on Cloudflare Workers. Cloudflare processes requests (including IP addresses) to deliver pages and protect against abuse, as described in Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Affiliate links
eBay links on SneakerPulse are affiliate links through the eBay Partner Network, and FEATURE
(feature.com) links are affiliate links through Impact; GOAT and StockX links are not. FEATURE
links appear only on the exact shoe FEATURE has in stock, next to our resale figure, whichever is lower. If you click an affiliate link and buy
something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Those links are marked with
rel="sponsored", and the retailer sets its own cookies once you arrive on its site,
governed by that retailer's privacy policy. Affiliate relationships never change the numbers we
publish: prices, medians and volumes come from recorded marketplace transactions, not from
whoever pays a commission.
Where our data comes from
The market data on this site describes products and completed sales on GOAT and StockX, obtained through the kicks.dev API. It contains no information about you, and no information that identifies individual buyers or sellers.
YouTube
SneakerPulse publishes short videos to its own YouTube channel, Sneaker Pulse (@sneakerpulsestat), using the YouTube API Services. Our app (the "SneakerPulse uploader") signs in only to that channel, which we own, to upload our videos and to read that channel's own video statistics (views, likes, watch time) and public search results for sneaker videos, so we can see which topics people watch. It does not ask YouTube viewers to sign in, and it does not collect, store or share any information about viewers or other YouTube users.
By watching our videos on YouTube you are using YouTube, which is governed by the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy. Anyone who has granted an app access to a Google account can review or remove that access at any time on the Google security settings page.
SneakerPulse also publishes Pins to its own Pinterest account using the Pinterest API. Our app (the "SneakerPulse Publisher") signs in only to that account, which we own, to create Pins and boards and to read that account's own Pin statistics (impressions, saves, clicks). It does not ask Pinterest users to sign in and does not collect, store or share any information about Pinterest users. Using Pinterest is governed by Pinterest's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
