Audit AI is schema-constrained to reference verified benchmarks and produce qualitative wording. The model cannot author a number you see: displayed figures are computed on our servers from observed benchmarks, exchange rates, and your inputs. Exchange rates are used for display and scoring only, never to compute an amount you are charged.

Contract-risk flags are kept only when they quote your own document text verbatim. For Pro deliverables, the model does not see your raw price; numbers are inserted server-side from your computed audit. AI-generated wording can still be incomplete or wrong, and audit results are informational.

Vendors see the auction category, pricing basis, and deadline. Your maximum price is compared against bids on our servers and is never disclosed to vendors. Vendors cannot see other vendors' bids, identities, or the number of bids. Your pricing details, contract text, uploaded document, and audit results are not disclosed to vendors.

Deal-room messages are not read, moderated, or answered by AI. Automated conversation notices are fixed, server-generated status updates about the deal.

Buyers and sellers conclude and pay for their software deals directly, off the platform. Trim charges no commission and takes no percentage of deal value. Trim does not hold customer funds or act as a payment intermediary between users.

Where auction commitment fees are enabled, they are Trim's own service charges, not escrow or money transferred between users. Payments for Trim services are collected by our Merchant of Record, which handles checkout, tax, card processing, and refunds. Trim does not receive or store card numbers.

Only signed-in accounts can create and use personal access tokens, and actions taken with a token are your actions. Revocation takes effect immediately. Choosing a winning bid requires your confirmation in Trim, and a token cannot complete checkout.

Our primary database is hosted in Google Cloud's Seoul region (asia-northeast3). Google Vertex AI processing is regionalized by your country: an EU region for visitors in the EU, the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland; a Japan region for Korea and Japan; a Singapore region for Singapore; and the US region otherwise. Other providers may process data in their own regions.

Sources: Privacy Policy §5, Privacy Policy §6, and Privacy Policy §13.

The Privacy Policy names these providers and the purposes for which they process data:

• Google Cloud / Firebase — authentication, the Seoul database, and file storage for listing media and uploaded pricing documents.
• Google Vertex AI — audit and Idea Validator processing in the regions described above.
• Serper (google.serper.dev) — Idea Validator web search for competing products and public discussion, receiving AI-generated search terms, never raw idea text.
• Hacker News search (hn.algolia.com, operated by Algolia) — a public search index for developer discussion.
• Product Hunt (api.producthunt.com) — competing product listings, only when that integration is enabled.
• Dodo Payments — Merchant of Record for hosted checkout, card processing, tax, and refunds to the original payment method.
• Resend — transactional email for sign-in codes and guarantee notices.
• Vercel — web application hosting.
• PostHog (PostHog Inc.) — product analytics only if you accept analytics in the cookie banner or Cookie settings; events are processed in the United States.
• GitHub (api.github.com) — public seller profile and contribution data for verification, and public repository searches for Idea Validator.
• Credly / Accredible — public credential records, using only the badge id and sending no personal data.
• Google Public DNS (dns.google) — DNS records for seller website-ownership verification.

Audit figures use verified market benchmarks and your inputs. Subscription and service fees are described on Pricing. Seller discovery clicks are billed after the free allowance at the rate in effect when the click happened. A click is billable only if it is the first click from that visitor to the seller in 24 hours, is not a bot, and is not from the seller or their team; everything else is recorded and not billed. See click pricing for the current allowances, rates, and billing details.

Auction-win lead fees are tiered by the buyer's captured maximum. Where commitment fees are enabled, the exact fee is computed by our servers and shown before payment. The Merchant of Record handles tax and checkout.
