Privacy Policy

Template notice. This is a starting-point template with [PLACEHOLDER] values. Replace them and have a qualified lawyer review this document before relying on it.

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy explains how [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] (“we”, “us”) handles personal data for the Clearcote account services at clearcotelabs.com.

2. Data we collect

• Account data — your email address, optional display name and avatar, and a hashed password (we never store passwords in plain text).
• Authentication data — magic-link tokens, linked OAuth account identifiers (e.g. Google/GitHub) if you use them, and API key hashes.
• Preferences — your email subscription choices.
• Usage/technical data — basic logs and, on the marketing site, privacy-friendly analytics.

3. How we use data

• To create and operate your account and authenticate the Clearcote program.
• To send transactional and security email (e.g. magic links, account notices).
• To send product-update and marketing email only per your preferences, which you can change or unsubscribe from at any time.
• To secure, maintain, and improve the Service and comply with law.

4. Legal bases

Where applicable (e.g. under GDPR), we process data to perform our contract with you, for our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, with your consent (for marketing), and to comply with legal obligations.

5. Sharing

We share data with processors that help us run the Service — for example our database host, our email provider (Resend), and identity providers you choose to link. We do not sell your personal data.

6. Retention

We keep account data for as long as your account is active and as needed for legal and operational purposes. You can delete your account from the dashboard; we then delete or anonymize associated data, subject to legal retention.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise them, contact [privacy@clearcotelabs.com].

8. Email preferences

You can manage product-update and marketing email in your dashboard under Email preferences, or via the unsubscribe link in any such email. Security and transactional messages are required for account operation.

9. Security

We use industry-standard measures including password hashing (bcrypt) and hashed API keys. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10. Changes

We may update this Policy; material changes will be reflected by a new version number and effective date.
