Privacy Policy

1. The short version

This box summarizes the Privacy Policy in plain language. The full policy below controls if there is any difference.

• We do not sell Personal Data, and we do not use it for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.
• We collect only what we need to run algodyne.com, such as account details, support messages, payment status, and usage and security information, depending on the features you use. Payment providers handle card details, and we do not store full card numbers.
• We do not use your content or Personal Data to train models, or let a provider train on it, without your separate, explicit opt-in.
• On request, we will give you your data, correct it, export it, and delete it, subject to the limited records we must keep.
• Your data may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. We take appropriate safeguards where law requires them and will tell you which on request.
• You must be at least 21. We do not offer, market, or target algodyne.com in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland.
• We will give advance notice of material changes to this policy.

2. Operator and scope

algodyne.com is a product operated by Algodyne Corporation, a Delaware corporation. In this Privacy Policy, algodyne.com refers to the product and Services, and Algodyne, we, us, or our refers to Algodyne Corporation.

This Privacy Policy explains how Algodyne collects, uses, shares, protects, and retains Personal Data when people use algodyne.com websites, applications, accounts, support channels, and related services.

This policy does not apply to third-party websites or services that Algodyne does not control, including payment providers, sign-in providers, and integrations. Those services have their own privacy notices.

This policy describes what the site does with personal data. It is short because the site does very little.

It covers this website only. A product operated by Algodyne or by one of its ventures publishes its own policy covering that product.

3. Regions we do not serve

Algodyne does not offer, market, or target the Services in the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, and has not appointed a representative in any of them.

Algodyne does not block sign-ups. If you register for or use the Services from the European Union, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you do so on your own initiative and you are responsible for complying with the local law that applies to you. You acknowledge that Algodyne does not offer or target the Services in those regions, and you give the acknowledgment set out in the Terms before you register.

4. Personal Data we collect

Algodyne may collect the following Personal Data, depending on the features you use.

Account and identity information

• Email address, name or display name, and authentication identifiers.
• Login, session, passkey, multi-factor authentication, recovery, and security metadata where enabled.
• Account, language, notification, consent, and privacy settings.

Support and communications

When a user contacts Algodyne about algodyne.com, Algodyne may collect contact information, messages, attachments, screenshots, logs supplied by the user, support history, and resolution notes.

Users should not send unnecessary content, credentials, recovery material, payment-card numbers, or other sensitive information through support channels.

Payment and commercial information

Where paid services are enabled, Algodyne may collect plan, entitlement, invoice, tax, payment-status, refund, dispute, and billing-event information, and customer and transaction identifiers issued by the payment provider. Payment providers process payment-card and banking details. Algodyne does not store full payment-card numbers.

Usage, technical, and security information

Algodyne and its service providers may process:

• IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device information, approximate region, referring URLs, request headers, and timestamps.
• Pages visited, feature usage, performance data, errors, and billing events.
• Login, session, authentication, audit, abuse, spam, fraud, rate-limit, and security signals.

5. What we collect

Two things, neither of which requires you to press anything:

• IP address, user agent, requested URL, referrer, and timestamp, recorded automatically when a page is served. Delivering the site, keeping it available, and investigating abuse or attack traffic. Lawful basis: legitimate interests — operating and defending a public website. Retention: held by our hosting provider under its own retention schedule; we keep no copy.
• Your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you write to us. Reading and answering what you sent. Lawful basis: legitimate interests — responding to someone who contacted us first. Retention: kept while the conversation is live and for as long as the business record is useful.

6. What we do not do

Stated explicitly, because an absence is worth as much as a disclosure and this site is unusual in how little it does:

• We set no cookies. Not for sessions, not for preferences, not for analytics.
• We store nothing in your browser — no localStorage, no sessionStorage, no fingerprint.
• We run no analytics or advertising script of any kind, first-party or third-party.
• There are no accounts, no logins, and no forms that submit anything.
• We do not sell, rent, or share personal data, and we never have.

Because we set no cookies and run no tracking, there is nothing for a consent banner to ask you about, and you will not see one.

7. How Algodyne uses Personal Data

Algodyne may use Personal Data to:

• Provide, operate, maintain, secure, and support algodyne.com.
• Create and manage accounts, sessions, and permissions.
• Process subscriptions, payments, invoices, taxes, refunds, disputes, credits, usage, and entitlements where paid features are enabled.
• Send transactional, security, billing, support, legal, and user-requested communications.
• Detect and prevent abuse, spam, fraud, infringement, attacks, and policy violations.
• Maintain security and audit evidence for sensitive actions.
• Improve reliability, accessibility, usability, performance, and product quality using aggregated usage information and, where required, consented analytics.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce Algodyne policies and contracts.

Algodyne does not sell Personal Data and does not use Personal Data for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising.

8. Legal bases

Where applicable law requires a legal basis or a stated ground for processing, Algodyne relies on the following:

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.

9. Sharing and subprocessors

Algodyne may share Personal Data with:

• Cloud infrastructure, hosting, storage, security, content-delivery, observability, authentication, email, and support providers.
• Payment and billing providers where paid features are used.
• Integration, export, calendar, map, or other third-party providers when requested by the user or needed for a feature the user uses.
• Professional advisers, auditors, insurers, accountants, and legal counsel.
• Courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies, or other parties where required by law or necessary to protect rights, security, or safety.
• A successor or transaction participant in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Algodyne uses third-party providers to operate algodyne.com under contracts, data-protection terms, and security reviews where appropriate, and maintains information on the providers actually enabled for production processing and what each processes. Each provider processes Personal Data only to the extent needed for its stated purpose and also under its own privacy policy.

If you follow a link to a third-party site or service, that service receives the information your browser sends to it and handles that information under its own terms and privacy policy.

10. Who else handles it

Serving a page and delivering an email both involve suppliers. These are all of them:

• Cloudflare, Inc. — hosting, DNS, and edge delivery. Requests for pages on this site, and the logs described above.
• Cloudflare Email Routing — forwarding mail sent to our published addresses. Messages you send to an @algodyne.com address, in transit.
• Google LLC — mailbox provider for the destination our mail is forwarded to. Messages you send to an @algodyne.com address, at rest.

Each acts on our instructions and is bound to use what it handles only to provide that service.

11. International processing

Algodyne Corporation is a United States corporation. Personal Data is processed in the United States and in other countries where Algodyne, its infrastructure providers, or its subprocessors operate. Some of that processing is necessary to provide the Services you ask for, such as hosting, payment processing, and email delivery, and by using the Services you understand that your Personal Data will be transferred to and processed in those countries.

Algodyne takes appropriate safeguards where applicable law requires them for a transfer, such as contract terms with providers, and will ask for your consent where the law requires it. For users in Japan, where the Act on the Protection of Personal Information requires your consent or other measures before Personal Data is provided to a third party in a foreign country, Algodyne will obtain that consent or take those measures. On request, Algodyne will provide details of the safeguards that apply to a particular transfer. Algodyne does not state that any specific transfer mechanism applies to its processing unless the corresponding contractual and operational evidence exists.

We operate from the United States, and the suppliers above process data there. If you contact us from outside the United States, what you send is transferred there and handled under this policy.

12. Retention

Algodyne retains Personal Data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes collected, including service operation, user instructions, security, abuse prevention, billing, tax, accounting, disputes, backups, audit integrity, and legal compliance.

Deleting an account or a request record may not immediately remove information from backups, security logs, legal records, billing records, already-delivered exports or emails, caches, or third-party archives.

13. Security

Algodyne uses technical and organizational controls intended to protect Personal Data, including encrypted transport, access controls, least-privilege production access, authentication controls, environment separation, monitoring, and data minimization.

No service can guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for protecting credentials, devices, browsers, sessions, recovery material, and email accounts.

Holding almost no data is the strongest control available to us, and it is the one we rely on. To report a vulnerability, see our Security Policy.

14. Rights and choices

On request, Algodyne will:

• Give you access to your Personal Data.
• Correct inaccurate Personal Data.
• Delete your Personal Data.
• Export your Personal Data to you.
• Stop optional marketing communications to you.
• Honor your withdrawal of consent.

To the extent Algodyne agrees or the law that applies to you requires, you may also:

• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling.
• Appeal certain privacy-request decisions.

Privacy requests can be sent to privacy@algodyne.com (support@algodyne.com as a fallback). Algodyne will respond within a reasonable time and in any case within the time the applicable law requires. Algodyne may verify identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where necessary for security, legal, billing, tax, fraud-prevention, audit-integrity, backup, or dispute purposes.

Wherever you are, and regardless of which statute happens to apply to you, we will honour all of the following:

• Ask what personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it
• Have anything inaccurate corrected
• Have it deleted
• Object to what we are doing with it, or ask us to restrict it
• Receive it in a portable, machine-readable form
• Withdraw consent where consent is what we relied on
• Complain to your national data protection authority

Make a request on our data request page or by writing to upgrade@algodyne.com. We answer within 30 days. We may ask you to confirm who you are before we act, and asking costs you nothing.

15. California privacy notice (CCPA/CPRA)

If California privacy laws apply to a user or to Algodyne, California users may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and port Personal Data, and to opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or sensitive-information uses.

algodyne.com's current posture is that it does not sell Personal Data and does not use Personal Data for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where legally required, Algodyne will honor applicable opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control for browser-based sale, sharing, or targeted-advertising choices.

16. Children

algodyne.com is intended only for people who are at least 21 years old.

Algodyne does not knowingly collect Personal Data from anyone under 21, and algodyne.com does not offer a parental or guardian-consent path. If Algodyne learns that a person under 21 supplied Personal Data or created an account, Algodyne will disable the relevant access and delete the information unless continued retention is legally required.

If you believe a child has sent us something, write to us and we will delete it.

17. Changes to this policy

Algodyne may update this Privacy Policy as algodyne.com, providers, laws, or data practices change. The current policy will be posted on the algodyne.com legal page with its effective and last-updated dates.

Algodyne will not make surprise changes. For a material change, including one that expands how Personal Data is used or shared, Algodyne will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or by a prominent notice in the product before it takes effect, except where the law requires a change sooner. A new use that needs your consent will wait for that consent.

18. Language

Translations of this Privacy Policy, including the Japanese version, are provided for convenience. If there is any difference or conflict between a translation and the English version, the English version controls.
