Security & How We Work

At Outdately, your peace of mind and the integrity of the platforms we interact with are top priorities. We believe in transparent, respectful data practices — here’s exactly how we operate and what you can expect from us.

What Data We Use

Outdately only uses publicly available information. We do not access private data, authenticated areas, or anything behind login walls. All recommendations and insights are generated from publicly accessible sources.

How We Access Sites

To gather public data, Outdately functions like a web crawler bot — similar to search engine crawlers:

• We crawl publicly reachable URLs on your site.
• We respect standard web protocols like robots.txt.
• We do not perform actions that require authentication.

If you need to configure how our bot behaves, you can control it through your site’s crawler rules.

Public Info for Recommendations

Our recommendation engine is powered solely by public information:

• Listings
• Descriptions
• Metadata
• Other open web content

We do not collect confidential or private user details and we never store sensitive data.

irewalls & IP Allowlisting

If your systems use firewalls or IP restrictions and you want Outdately to access your site smoothly:

Consider allowlisting our bot’s IP address in your firewall settings.

This ensures our crawler can reach your public content without being blocked. If you need our current IP range for allowlisting, just contact us — we’re happy to help.
