Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 25, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register, we collect your email address and a hashed password. Guest users are assigned a temporary session identifier.

Audit Data

When you run an audit, we collect the URL you submit and store the scraped content, analysis results, and scores. This data is associated with your account.

Payment Information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or bank account details. We receive transaction confirmations and subscription status from Stripe.

Usage Data

We collect standard server logs including IP addresses, request timestamps, and user agents for security and operational purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve the audit service
• To process payments and manage subscriptions
• To send account-related emails (verification, password reset)
• To detect and prevent abuse (rate limiting, fraud prevention)
• To generate aggregate, anonymized usage statistics

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

• Stripe — for payment processing
• Infrastructure providers — for hosting (servers, databases)
• Law enforcement — when required by valid legal process

4. Data Retention

Account data is retained as long as your account is active. Audit reports are retained indefinitely for monitoring and trend tracking. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

5. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data: encrypted connections (TLS), hashed passwords (Bcrypt), and secure session management. No system is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Cookies

We use a single session cookie to maintain your login state. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics cookies.

7. Your Rights

You may:

• Access your account data through the dashboard
• Request a copy of your data
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Unsubscribe from non-essential communications
