Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials through Supabase Auth. If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment processing is handled by Stripe — we do not store your credit card number, only a Stripe customer ID and subscription status.

Usage Data

We use Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with the platform. These services collect anonymized data such as page views, click patterns, session duration, device type, and approximate location (country/region level). Clarity may record anonymized session replays.

Newsletter

If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address to deliver the weekly brief. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the Service
• To process payments and manage subscriptions
• To send the weekly newsletter (if subscribed)
• To analyze platform usage and improve the product
• To communicate service updates or changes to these policies

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

3. Third-Party Services

We share limited data with the following services to operate the platform:

• Supabase— Authentication and database hosting
• Stripe— Payment processing
• Vercel— Application hosting
• Google Analytics 4— Usage analytics
• Microsoft Clarity— Session analytics and heatmaps

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication (session cookies), analytics, and basic site functionality. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of the Service.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes. Anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, secure authentication via Supabase, and PCI-compliant payment processing via Stripe. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the platform. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
