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:
As the team grows, this section will reflect whatever new safeguards are actually in place — nothing more.
We use a small set of third-party services, each handling only what it needs to:
| Service | Purpose | Data Shared | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics (GA4) | Usage analytics | Anonymized behavior data | |
| Google AdSense | Advertising | Ad interaction data (per Google's policies) | Google Ads |
| Vercel | Hosting, CDN & serverless functions | Request logs (IP, headers) | Vercel |
| Supabase | Database, authentication | Account data, login sessions | Supabase |
| Google Gemini / Anthropic Claude API | AI-generated content & features | Query text (not linked to identity) | Gemini / Anthropic |
None of these third parties use your data for their own marketing, beyond Google's standard ad-serving.
