RivalDesk watches your competitors using only public information, the same pages, reviews, ads and job posts anyone could find. It never touches private or confidential data, and your own account data is handled with care. Here is exactly how it works.
Every signal comes from something already published in the open. RivalDesk does not access anything behind a login, a paywall or a confidentiality wall.
The public pages on a competitor domain: pricing, changelogs, homepages, landing pages and careers. The same pages anyone can open in a browser.
Ratings and reviews on the public review sites and app stores where customers already post about your competitors.
The ad transparency libraries that platforms publish, showing the campaigns a company is running in the open.
The roles a competitor lists publicly, which the Talent Analyst reads as a signal of where they are heading.
The line is simple. If it is not public, RivalDesk does not look at it.
We do not log in to competitor systems, scrape private portals, or access anything that needs a password or an account. Public pages only.
We do not seek out, accept or store confidential documents, internal data or anything obtained improperly. The intelligence is built from the open record.
Your account information and what you track are yours. We do not sell it, and we do not share it with the competitors you watch.
The competitors you track, your team, your settings and your billing details are treated as your data, kept private to your account.
Traffic between you and RivalDesk runs over encrypted connections, and account data is stored on managed, access-controlled infrastructure.
Only people you invite into your workspace can see your tracked competitors and briefings. Seats and access are controlled by your plan.
The Scale plan adds single sign-on and enterprise access controls, so larger teams can manage RivalDesk through their own identity provider.
Retention scales with your plan. You can request deletion of your account data at any time.
Intel history is kept for 90 days, plenty to spot trends across a quarter.
A full year of history, so you can see how a competitor moved across seasons and campaigns.
History is retained for as long as your account is active, with no rolling cut-off.
Logged-in sessions time out after a period of inactivity, and you can sign out of a session at any time to end access on that device.
Workspace owners can add and remove members, so access ends the moment someone leaves your team.
We will be straight with you. RivalDesk does not hold SOC 2 or ISO certification today. Formal certification is on our roadmap, and enterprise controls like SSO are already available on Scale. Ask us about your requirements →
