Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PageChat ("we", "us") handles information when you use our website and browser extension (the "Service"). If you have questions, contactfeedback@page-chat.org.

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Account information: email address, nickname, and authentication data (passwords are stored as hashes)
• Content: comments you post and related metadata (for example, time and the page/thread identifier)
• Usage and device data: basic technical data such as IP address, user agent, and event logs for security and performance
• Billing data: subscription status and plan details. Payment details are processed by our payment providers (for example, Stripe) and we do not store your full card number.

We use information to:

• Provide and maintain the service
• Process subscriptions and payments
• Improve the service and user experience
• Send service-related notifications
• Prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents

If UK GDPR / EU GDPR applies, our legal bases may include: performance of a contract (providing the Service), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, service improvement), consent (where required, such as certain cookies), and legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers that help us operate the Service (for example, hosting and infrastructure)
• Payment processors (for subscription billing)
• Authorities or other parties when required by law or to protect rights and safety

Your information may be processed outside your country. Where required (for example, the UK/EU), we use appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections.

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the data type and purpose.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information. No security system is perfect and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you signed in
• Remember your preferences
• Analyze service usage
• Provide personalized content

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may affect some features.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of your information, and to data portability.

If you are in the UK/EU, you may also have the right to withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent) and to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.

• Access
• Correction
• Deletion
• Restriction / objection
• Portability

To exercise rights, contact feedback@page-chat.org. We may need to verify your identity.

The Service is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date and may provide additional notice for material changes.

Our services may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies when you visit their websites.
