Data Policy
This policy explains what data we collect, how long we keep it, and the control you have over it.
We collect only what's needed to run the site and, for registered users, to power login and personalization.
| Category | Data Type | Purpose | Legal Basis (DPDP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account (registered users only) | Name, email, hashed password | Login, notifications, personalization | Consent |
| Behavioral | Articles read, tools clicked, time spent | Feed personalization, analytics | Consent |
| Technical | IP address, browser, device type, OS | Security, debugging, performance | Legitimate interest |
| Preferences | Language, theme, feed settings | UI customization | Consent |
We don't process payment data — there's no paid subscription live yet. We'll update this before that changes.
We never access your location, contacts, camera, or microphone without explicit permission.
We keep data only as long as each purpose needs:
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account information | While account is active + 90 days after deletion request |
| Reading / usage history | 12 months (rolling) |
| Server / technical logs | 30 days |
| Newsletter subscription data | Until unsubscription |
| Feedback / support emails | 2 years |
After a deletion request, all personal data is erased within 90 days.
Your data lives on Supabase (PostgreSQL, AWS-hosted) and Vercel, with security practices suited to our current scale:
- Encryption in transit — all traffic is HTTPS/TLS.
- Passwords — hashed via Supabase auth, never stored in plain text.
- Access control — only the founder has database access, as NextAiToday is solo-run today.
As the team grows, this section will reflect whatever new safeguards are actually in place — nothing more.
Here's what we use, and what you can control via the banner below or your browser settings:
| Cookie Type | Examples | Purpose | Can you opt out? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session token, CSRF token | Login, security, form submissions | No — required to use the site |
| Preference | theme, lang, night-mode | Remembering your UI settings | Yes |
| Analytics | _ga, _gid (Google Analytics) | Understanding aggregate site usage | Yes — select "Essential Only" in banner |
| Advertising | Google AdSense cookies | Serving ads | Yes — via Google's Ad Settings |
Analytics cookies load only after you accept them. Opting out doesn't affect core functionality.
Under the DPDP Act 2023, you can:
- Access — request a copy of your data.
- Correct — update account info via Profile Settings.
- Delete — permanently remove your account within 90 days.
- Opt-out — unsubscribe or disable personalization anytime.
- Grievance — raise a complaint within 30 days of an issue.
These requests are handled manually right now — just email us:
NextAiToday isn't directed at anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect data from minors.
