Privacy Policy
Effective date: [INSERT DATE]
This is a starting template, not legal advice. Have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer before publishing, especially regarding the data protection or consumer laws that apply to your users.
1. Introduction
Crudely ("we," "us," "our") provides a platform that helps users generate product and technical documentation from natural-language prompts. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
2. Information We Collect
Information you provide:
- Email address (waitlist signup, account registration).
- Account details (name, password or OAuth identity).
- Prompts, answers to questions, and any content you submit to generate documents.
- Billing information (processed by our payment provider; we do not store full card details).
3. Information Collected Automatically
Information collected automatically:
- Usage data (pages visited, features used, timestamps) via analytics tools.
- Device/browser information (IP address, user agent) for security and fraud prevention.
4. How We Use Information
- To provide and operate the service (generate your documents, manage your account).
- To send transactional communications (confirmation emails, billing receipts, service updates).
- To improve the product, including analyzing aggregated usage patterns to refine the question-generation and document-generation engine.
- To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.
5. Use of Third-Party AI Providers
Prompts and answers you submit are processed by third-party large language model providers to generate your documents. We do not sell this content. [Specify provider(s) and whether they train on submitted data before publishing.]
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:
- Service providers necessary to operate Crudely (hosting, email delivery, payment processing, LLM providers) under contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Authorities, if required by law.
7. Data Retention
- Account and project data is retained while your account is active.
- Generated document versions may be retained for a limited period after regeneration before older versions are pruned.
- Waitlist entries are retained until Phase 1 launch or until you request removal.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. Contact us at [INSERT SUPPORT EMAIL] to exercise these rights.
9. Security
We use industry-standard measures (encryption in transit, access controls) to protect your data. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Cookies
We use cookies/local storage for authentication sessions and analytics. [Add a cookie table if required by your jurisdiction.]
11. Children's Privacy
Crudely is not directed at individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notice.
