Toasty AI ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Toasty AI platform and related services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website, applications, and services (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, and authentication credentials. We use a third-party authentication provider (Clerk) to manage sign-in, and we may receive profile information from that provider on your behalf.

Website and Content Data

When you use our Service to analyze or optimize your website content, we collect the URLs you submit, crawled page content, metadata, and any data derived from our AI-powered analysis. This data is used to deliver insights, recommendations, and reports as part of the Service.

Usage Data

We automatically collect certain information when you access the Service, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time and date of your visit, and other diagnostic data.

Payment Information

If you purchase a subscription, our third-party payment processor collects your payment details (such as credit card number and billing address). We do not store full payment card information on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Service Delivery: To provide, operate, and maintain the Service, including AI-powered content analysis, SEO optimization, and competitive intelligence reports.

• Security: To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or unauthorized access.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating the Service (e.g., cloud hosting, authentication, payment processing, and analytics). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information for other purposes with your explicit consent.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. We may also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When your data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
