Privacy Policy: Your Rights Come First

Our Ironclad Promise to You

We're turning traditional privacy policies on their head. Instead of protecting our interests, this policy is fundamentally designed to protect yours. We're a company that believes in radical transparency and user empowerment. Every word of this policy is written with one goal: maximizing your privacy rights while minimizing our ability to use your data in ways you wouldn't expect or want.

The TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)

We know privacy policies can be overwhelming. Here's the essence:

  • You own your data. Period.
  • We treat your personal information like it's a precious family heirloom we're borrowing
  • You can demand deletion of your data at any time, no questions asked
  • We will never sell, rent, or monetize your personal information
  • If we mess up, we'll tell you immediately and make it right
  • You can sue us if we break these promises (and we'll pay your legal fees)

Your Data, Your Rules

What We Collect (Only What You Explicitly Share)

We collect only what you deliberately give us. Think of it like leaving your belongings with a friend:

  • Must-have basics: Your email address (to log you in) and that's pretty much it
  • Optional extras: Anything else is your choice. Want to add your name? Cool. Rather use a pseudonym? Also cool.
  • Technical stuff: Yes, we see your IP address and device info (we literally can't avoid it), but we minimize and anonymize it

What We Don't Collect (A Lot)

We proudly don't collect:

  • Your location (unless you explicitly share it)
  • Your contacts or address book
  • Your browsing history on other sites
  • Your personal documents or files (unless you upload them)
  • Biometric data
  • Any information about children under 13, period

Your Superpowered Rights

You have extraordinary control over your data. We're not talking about basic privacy rights – we're talking about nuclear-level control:

Right to Be Forgotten (With Teeth)

  • Delete your data instantly with one click
  • We'll provide proof of deletion
  • We'll also delete your data from all backups within 72 hours (most companies keep it for months)
  • We'll give you a signed certificate of deletion

Right to Data Portability (That Actually Works)

  • Export your data in common formats (JSON, CSV, PDF)
  • We'll help you migrate to competitors (yes, really)
  • We provide tools to import your data elsewhere
