MSB Renew

Privacy Policy

MSB Renew collects the minimum it needs to work, and nothing it does not.

What is collected

MSB Renew has no accounts, no login, and no database. The checker at /check works by matching a name you type against a static dataset fetched by your own browser, built ahead of time from FinCEN's own public MSB Registrant Search export; the search runs entirely client-side, so what you type is never sent to a server. Anonymous usage analytics (pageviews and the checker's own submit event) run via Vercel Analytics, with no cross-site tracking cookies. Where product analytics is switched on, PostHog also records pageviews, interaction events and error reports; in the EU, EEA and UK nothing identifiable is captured until the cookie banner is answered, and declining switches it to a rotating hash with no cookie at all.

What is never done with it

Nothing here is sold, rented, or shared for advertising. No marketing lists, no third-party ad trackers, no profiling, no email capture. The only outside processors are Vercel (hosting and anonymous analytics) and, where product analytics is switched on, PostHog (usage analytics and error reporting), each holding the minimum their job needs.

The registrant data shown by the checker

Legal names, DBA names, cities, states and filing dates shown by the checker are FinCEN's own public disclosure, already available to anyone at msb.fincen.gov. Nothing about the visitor running the check is attached to that registrant's record; there is no server-side log of who looked up a given name, since the lookup itself never leaves your browser.
