Privacy Policy

GPTDBS ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website gptdbs.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you create an account or use our service:

• Email address — used for account creation, login, and service communications
• Password — stored as a secure bcrypt hash; we never store your plain-text password
• Usage data — which ideas you view, save, or interact with, used to track your monthly view quota
• Payment data — processed entirely by Stripe; we store only your Stripe Customer ID and subscription status, never card details
• Log data — standard server logs including IP address, browser type, and pages visited

How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account
• To provide access to content based on your subscription plan
• To process payments via Stripe
• To send transactional emails (account confirmation, payment receipts)
• To improve our service and content

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We share data only with:

• Stripe — for payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment data.
• Hosting providers — our server and database infrastructure providers
• Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect our rights

Cookies

We use a single session cookie to keep you logged in. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics platform that tracks you across sites.

Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal data within 30 days. Anonymised usage data may be retained for analytics purposes.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Export your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

Security

We use industry-standard security practices including password hashing, HTTPS, and secure database access. However, no system is 100% secure — please use a strong, unique password for your account.

Children

GPTDBS is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes by email. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
