Privacy Policy

What happens to your text

Checking and cleaning are local. The artifact scanner and cleaner are JavaScript running on your device. Your text is not uploaded, not logged, and never leaves the page. You can verify this in your browser’s network tab — pressing the checker produces no request.

Rewriting is a server round trip. When you use the rewrite engine, your text is sent to our server and on to our model provider (DeepSeek, hosted on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry) to be processed. The result is returned to you. We do not write document contents to our database, and we do not retain them after the request completes.

We do not train on your text, and we do not sell it or share it with anyone beyond the model provider needed to fulfil the request you asked for.

Your browser stores an unsent draft locally so that signing in does not lose your work. That draft lives in your own browser’s storage, not on our servers, and is cleared when you sign out.

What we do store

• Account — your email address, a hashed password (or the identifier from Google/GitHub if you used those), and account timestamps.
• Sessions — a session token, plus the IP address and user agent of the sign-in, used for security and abuse prevention.
• Credit ledger — every grant, spend and refund, including the word count of each job. We record how many words were processed, never which words.
• Billing reference — an identifier from our payment provider so purchases can be matched to your account.

Payments

Payments are handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record. Card details are entered on their systems and are never seen by, sent to, or stored by us. We receive only a payment reference and the plan purchased.

Processors we use

• Vercel — hosting and delivery
• Neon — database (accounts, sessions, credit ledger)
• Microsoft Azure AI Foundry — model inference for the rewrite engine
• Dodo Payments — payments and tax
• Google / GitHub — only if you choose to sign in with them

Analytics

We use privacy-respecting product analytics to count page views and which features get used, so we can tell whether the product works. We do not record the contents of your text, and we do not sell data to advertisers.

Cookies

We set a session cookie when you sign in. That is it — no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking. Browsing the site signed out sets no cookies.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account and everything attached to it. Deletion removes your account, sessions and ledger; we may keep a minimal payment record where we are legally required to. If you are in the EU or UK, the GDPR rights of access, rectification, erasure, portability and objection apply, and our legal basis for processing account data is performance of the contract between us.

Children

The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Contact

For any privacy request, contact us through the support channel linked from your dashboard or the address on your payment receipt. See also our Terms of Service.
