At PromptsYard, accessible from promptsyard.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information we collect, how we process it, and your rights under international data protection laws, including the GDPR (Europe) and CCPA/CPRA (California).

1. Information We Collect

To provide our services efficiently, we collect both personal and non-personal data:

• Account Data: If you create an account to save favorite prompts, we collect your email address and a unique user ID via our authentication provider (Supabase).
• Communication Data: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
• Technical & Usage Data: We automatically collect standard log data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and timestamps. This data is primarily used for securing our endpoints (e.g., rate limiting to prevent bot attacks) and analyzing general site traffic.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain our website and authentication services.
• To allow you to save and access your favorite prompts across devices.
• To communicate with you, including sending newsletters and important service updates.
• To monitor and prevent fraud, spam, and abuse (e.g., through IP rate limiting).
• To improve our website's performance and user experience.

3. Use of Cookies

PromptsYard uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience.

• Essential Cookies: Used for core functionality, such as keeping you logged in securely via Supabase and remembering if you have already subscribed to our newsletter to prevent redundant popups.
• Security Cookies: Used to mitigate bot attacks and abuse of our forms.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options, though some features of the site may not function properly without them.

4. Data Retention and Security

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or deletion. Our databases are secured using industry-standard encryption and managed via Supabase.
