Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account information

If you create an account using an email address and password, we collect your name and email address. Your password is stored only as a secure hash and is never stored in plain text.

If you choose Google or Facebook sign-in, we receive your name, email address, and a provider-issued account identifier. Google and Facebook process your sign-in under their own privacy policies.

Usage information

We collect aggregate engagement information such as prompt views and likes. To prevent duplicate guest likes, we store a one-way hash associated with the visitor's website session. This value is not used to identify you outside GeekyPrompts.

Device and technical information

Our server and hosting providers may automatically receive standard technical information including IP address, browser type, operating system, requested pages, timestamps, and request logs. We use this information to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Service.

Communications

If you contact us, we collect the information you provide, including your email address and the contents of your message.

Cookies, sessions, analytics, and advertising

GeekyPrompts uses essential session cookies to support account login, security protections, and website functionality. If analytics are enabled, analytics providers may collect information about visits, interactions, approximate location, and device or browser characteristics.

The website may display advertising through Google services. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar identifiers to deliver, limit, and measure ads and, where permitted, personalize them. Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner sites. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ad Settings and your browser controls.

2. How We Use Information

• Provide, maintain, and secure the Service.
• Create and authenticate user accounts.
• Operate prompt views, likes, and other requested interactions.
• Respond to questions and support requests.
• Troubleshoot errors and improve website reliability and usability.
• Display and measure advertising when advertising is enabled.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we may process information to perform a contract with you, pursue legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, comply with legal obligations, or based on your consent where consent is required. You may withdraw consent where applicable.

4. Service Providers and Disclosure

We share information only as needed with providers that support website hosting, infrastructure, authentication, analytics, advertising, email delivery, and security. Google and Facebook receive information when you choose their sign-in services. Their use of information is governed by their respective policies.

We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect GeekyPrompts, our users, or others from fraud, abuse, security threats, or harm.

5. Advertising and Privacy Choices

Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Under some privacy laws, personalized advertising may be considered a form of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can manage Google advertising preferences through Google Ad Settings and control cookies through your browser.

6. Data Retention

We retain account information while your account remains active or as needed to provide the Service. Password-reset tokens expire after a limited period. We may retain technical logs for security and troubleshooting and may retain aggregate, non-identifying engagement information. Some information may be retained when required for legal compliance, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our agreements.

7. Your Rights and Data Requests

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal information, receive a portable copy, or withdraw consent. California residents may also have rights to know, delete, correct, or opt out of certain sharing and to receive equal service when exercising privacy rights.

To request access, correction, or deletion of your account information, email geekyprompts@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including password hashing, CSRF protection, secure session controls, and HTTPS for data in transit on the production website. No transmission or storage method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where a higher minimum age applies. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

10. International Users

Your information may be processed in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have different data-protection laws. Where required, service providers use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will revise the "Last Updated" date when changes are made and provide additional notice where required.
