Privacy Policy

Welcome to Privacy Policy Tracker. We understand the importance of privacy, which is why we've built a service dedicated to helping you understand and monitor the privacy policies of services you use. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services.

• Privacy policy content you track or inquire about may be processed by the Claude API
• Your questions about privacy policies are processed by the Claude API to generate relevant responses

5.1 We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration.

We engage a limited number of trusted service providers to help us deliver our services:

• Email service providers (for sending transactional and notification emails)
• Payment processor (Stripe) for premium subscription management
• Cloud infrastructure providers for hosting our application
• Anthropic (for the Claude API integration)

These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose.

We use Matomo, a privacy-focused analytics platform, to collect anonymous usage data. This helps us understand how our service is used and identify areas for improvement. We do not use Google Analytics or other third-party tracking services.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information:

• Data encryption in transit and at rest
• Secure password storage using industry-standard hashing algorithms
