1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when creating an account, such as your name, email address, and username. We also collect usage data including API request counts and timestamps.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and maintain the RateShield service.
  • Send transactional emails (verification, alerts).
  • Monitor and enforce usage limits.
  • Improve our service through aggregated analytics.

3. Cookies

We use cookies to maintain your session and improve site functionality. By creating an account you consent to our use of cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect functionality.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., email delivery, cloud hosting) strictly for operating the service.

5. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

6. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and hashed passwords. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable precautions to protect your data.
