1. Who We Are

2. What Data We Collect

Account information

  • Name and email address
  • Password (stored as a one-way hash — we cannot read it)
  • Profile picture (optional)

Session & security data

  • Browser user agent of each login session

We store this data to secure your account (e.g. to detect suspicious logins) and to comply with legal obligations. It is deleted when you log out.

Payment data

Payments are processed by Stripe. We store only a reference to your Stripe payment (amount and credits purchased). We never see or store your full card details.

Analytics data

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website (pages visited, time on page, etc.). We have enabled less granular location data in Google Analytics, meaning your precise location is not tracked. Analytics data is aggregated and not linked to your account. You can opt out via your browser settings or a browser extension such as uBlock Origin.

  • Generated documents — kept until you delete them, or until your account is deleted.

7. Cookies

Google Analytics sets additional cookies. You can block these via your browser settings or a browser extension.

8. Security

We take appropriate technical measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls. No system is 100% secure; if you discover a vulnerability please contact us responsibly at privacy@aycabtu.com.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by a prominent notice on our website. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent version.
