1. Overview
This Privacy Policy applies to all features and pages operated by AIFlare. By signing up for the Service, you agree to the terms of this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following information depending on how you sign up and use the Service.
Email Sign-up
Display name (nickname; your real name is not required), email address, and password (stored in hashed form).
Sign in with Google
Name and profile picture provided by your Google account. Your email address is also collected for account identification.

Name and profile picture provided by your GitHub account. Your email address is also collected for account identification.

Automatically Collected Information
When you use the Service, the following information may be automatically collected: IP address, cookies and local storage data, access timestamps and logs, browser type and operating system, device information, and page usage history. This data is used for service delivery, statistical analysis, and security monitoring.
3. How We Use Your Information & Legal Bases
We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:
- Account identification and authentication
- Providing, operating, and improving the Service
- Responding to inquiries and providing customer support
- Security, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution
Legal Bases (where GDPR applies)
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or similar laws apply, we process personal information based on the following legal bases: (1) performance of the service contract with you, (2) your explicit consent (for optional items only), (3) our legitimate interests in service security and fraud prevention, and (4) compliance with legal obligations.
4. Children's Privacy
The Service does not accept sign-ups from children under the age of 14. If we discover that an account belongs to a child under 14 after registration, we will delete the account without delay. Higher age thresholds required by local law (for example, under some EU member states' implementation of GDPR) are also observed.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information until you delete your account. Upon account deletion, your data is removed without delay, except where a longer retention period is required by applicable law (such as transaction records under e-commerce regulations).
6. No Third-Party Sharing or Sale
We do not share or sell your personal information to third parties. If we ever use your personal information for marketing purposes or send promotional communications, we will obtain your separate prior consent. The only exception is disclosure pursuant to a lawful request from authorities under applicable law.
7. Processing Entrustment & International Transfers
We may entrust certain operational tasks — such as cloud hosting and transactional email delivery — to external service providers (processors). Processors receive only the minimum information necessary to deliver the service, and are contractually bound to use the information only for the entrusted purpose.
As a global service, your personal information may be processed in regions outside of your country of residence (for example, the United States or Europe). When you sign in with Google or GitHub, authentication data is also processed through those providers' servers. For all cross-border transfers, we apply the safeguards required by applicable law to protect your personal information.
8. Deletion Procedures
Personal information that has exceeded its retention period or is no longer needed for its collected purpose is destroyed without delay in a manner that prevents recovery. Electronic files are securely deleted, and paper documents are shredded or incinerated.
9. Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access and information about how your data is processed
- Rectification or completion of inaccurate data
- Erasure (including account deletion)
- Restriction of processing
- Objection to processing
- Data portability (receive your data in a commonly used format)
- Lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority (for EU residents, your local data protection authority)
You can directly edit your profile and delete your account from the account management page. For other requests, please use the contact information below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law.
10. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and local storage to maintain login sessions, remember language preferences, and analyze service usage. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not function properly as a result.
11. Security Measures
We apply technical and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information, including password hashing, encryption in transit (HTTPS), and access controls.
