Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 1, 2026
This is a plain-language starting template, not a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer, and not a claim of compliance with any specific regulation (GDPR, CCPA, etc.). Have it reviewed before relying on it for a product handling real users' data.

What we store about you

DataWhy
Email addressAccount login, identifying your projects
PasswordStored only as a bcrypt hash — we cannot see or recover your actual password
Project configurationYour chosen algorithm, limits, and project name
Project API keyUsed to authenticate your own application's calls to /v1/check
Monthly usage countRequests per project, shown on your dashboard
Payment/order IDsLinking a completed Razorpay payment to your plan upgrade — we never see or store your card details, Razorpay handles those directly

Your end-users' data

When your application calls /v1/check with an identifier (e.g. one of your own users' IDs or IP addresses), that identifier is used to key a short-lived rate-limit counter in Redis. These counters expire automatically (typically within minutes to a few hours, depending on the algorithm and window you configured) and are not linked back to your account's email or used for any purpose beyond enforcing your configured rate limit.

Where it's stored

All data lives in a Redis database on infrastructure we operate. Backups are taken automatically; see the main repository's README for operational details on data retention and persistence.

What we don't do

Deleting your data

Delete a project from the dashboard to immediately remove its API key, configuration, and associated rate-limit data. To delete your account and email entirely, contact us via the channel below.
