Privacy Policy

Effective Date: December 18, 2024

This Privacy Policy explains how CodeGuide (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and secures your information. By accessing or using CodeGuide (the “Service”), you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should stop using the Service.

Introduction

CodeGuide is a platform that assists with generating AI-driven documentation for coding projects. We gather certain data to deliver, improve, and secure the Service. This policy covers the types of information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning that information.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide when creating an account, such as your email address and optional full name. We collect project details when you describe your ideas, upload attachments, or select AI tools. We track user behavior data such as page visits and tokens or credits consumed. If you purchase a plan, billing information is collected by our payment processor, which securely handles your financial data.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to generate and refine project documentation; to process payments and manage subscriptions; to customize, maintain, and improve our Service; and to communicate with you about product updates or support requests. We also analyze usage trends to enhance platform performance and reliability.

Data Retention

Project data remains accessible in your account unless you delete it. After six months of inactivity, we may archive older projects to reduce storage loads, but you can request reactivation if needed. If you cancel your subscription or delete your account, we remove your data from active databases. Some information may stay in backups for a limited time as required by security or legal obligations.

Data Sharing

We do not sell or lease your personal information. We may share some data with trusted third-party providers for tasks such as payment processing or analytics. These providers can only use the data to fulfill specific functions on our behalf. We disclose data if required by law or if necessary to protect our rights, enforce this policy, or respond to legal process.

Security

We use industry-standard practices to protect your data. This includes encryption in transit, restricted access to databases, and regular security reviews. No online service is completely free of risks, so we encourage you to keep login credentials confidential and monitor your account activities.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies or comparable tracking technologies to analyze user activity, remember preferences, and provide certain features. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may limit some functionality.

Children's Privacy

CodeGuide is not directed to anyone under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us at cj@codeguide.dev so we can remove it.

Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy to address evolving legal or business requirements. Changes take effect when posted on our website under the “Effective Date” stated above. Continued use of the Service after an update indicates acceptance of the revised terms.

Effective Date

This Privacy Policy is effective as of December 18th 2024.
