Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Rephrasio ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and rewriting tool.
We collect only what we need to operate the service (account, payments, security). Your rewrite input is processed to generate outputs; avoid sharing highly sensitive personal data. Payment is handled by third-party providers through WooCommerce.
1. Who we are
Controller / business: [[Legal entity or your name]]
Website: [[rephrasio.com]]

Depending on how you use the service, we may collect:
- Account data: name (optional), email, password (stored as a secure hash), login timestamps.
- Purchase data: orders, purchased credits, payment status, invoices/receipts (as provided by WooCommerce/payment providers).
- Usage & technical data: IP address, device/browser info, pages visited, timestamps, error logs, rate-limit/security signals.
- Text you submit for rewriting: the input text and generated outputs (see retention section for how long we keep it, if at all).

3. How we use your data

4. Legal bases (GDPR style)
Where applicable, we process personal data under these legal bases:
- Contract: to provide the service you request (account, rewrite outputs, credit delivery).
- Legitimate interests: to secure our systems, prevent abuse, and improve the service.
- Legal obligation: to keep required billing/tax records.
- Consent: for non-essential cookies/analytics where required.
5. Payments & WooCommerce
Purchases are processed via WooCommerce and your selected payment gateway/provider. Payment details (such as card information) are handled by the payment provider, not stored directly by us.
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Order data | Order ID, products/credits, totals, status | Deliver credits, accounting, support | [[e.g., 5–10 years for tax/accounting]] |
| Billing details | Name, email, country, invoice info (if collected) | Receipts, fraud prevention | [[same as orders]] |
| Payment data | Card details | Payment processing | Stored by payment provider |
6. Cookies & analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and improve the service. Some cookies are essential (e.g., login/session). If we use analytics/marketing cookies, we will request consent where required.
- Essential cookies: authentication, security, session management.
- Performance/analytics: aggregated usage statistics (if enabled).
- Marketing cookies: only if you enable ads/tracking tools.
[[If you use Google Analytics / Meta Pixel, list them here and link to cookie settings.]]
7. Sharing & processors
We may share data with trusted service providers ("processors") that help us run the service, such as:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers (website/app hosting).
- Email service providers (support emails, transactional emails).
- Payment gateways/processors (WooCommerce payment providers).
- Security tools (firewall, anti-spam, rate limiting).
- Analytics providers (only if enabled).
We do not sell your personal data. We may disclose data if required by law or to protect our rights, users, and systems.
8. Data retention
We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes described above:
- Account data: until you delete your account or as required for legal reasons.
- Orders/billing: retained as required by tax/accounting laws.
- Logs/security data: typically retained for a limited period (e.g., days/weeks) to prevent abuse and debug issues.
- Rewrite input/output: [[choose one: not stored / stored temporarily for X hours / stored in user history]]
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data (access controls, encryption in transit where applicable, security monitoring). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; please use strong passwords and keep your login details confidential.
10. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Request data portability (where applicable).
- Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies/analytics (where applicable).
