Account information: email address, name, and profile picture (e.g., from Google sign-in) when you create an account.

Provide, maintain, and improve the Service;
Authenticate you and manage your account and subscription;
Process your text for humanization or detection as requested;
Send you service-related communications (e.g., magic link emails, important updates);
Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security issues;
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Content you submit for processing may be retained only as long as necessary to provide the Service and for legitimate operational, security, or legal purposes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data subject to applicable law.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist us (e.g., hosting, email, analytics) under strict confidentiality and data-processing agreements. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or safety, or in connection with a merger or sale of assets (with notice where required).

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and secure authentication. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we encourage you to use a strong password and keep your account credentials private.

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) where required by law for such transfers.
