Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 31st, 2025

1. Introduction

Hintable ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information obtained through OAuth authentication and data stored in our database.

2. Information We Collect

When you sign in using OAuth authentication, we may collect the following information from your account:

  • Name (if provided)
  • Email address
  • Profile picture (if provided)
  • Authentication details from OAuth providers (e.g., provider ID, tokens, and session data)
  • Game statistics and user-generated game-related data

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as passwords or payment information.

3. How We Use Your Information

The information collected is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To provide access to and improve Hintable
  • To personalize your experience within the app
  • To facilitate authentication and account management
  • To store and track game statistics, including word challenges and gameplay history
  • To analyze usage trends and improve functionality

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data with third parties.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our application uses PostgreSQL as the database provider and follows best practices to secure stored data. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services

Our app may contain links to third-party services or integrate with third-party platforms (such as Google, Twitter, Discord, or GitHub). These third parties have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them as we are not responsible for their practices.

We use Stripe to process subscriptions and payments. Stripe may collect and process your payment information (e.g., credit card details) in accordance with their Privacy Policy. We do not store your payment details on our servers.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • The right to access, correct, or delete your data
  • The right to withdraw consent to data processing
  • The right to request a copy of the data we hold about you

To exercise these rights, please contact us at contact@hintable.me.

7. Data Retention

We retain user data for as long as necessary to provide our services. Account-related data (e.g., OAuth authentication data, game statistics) is retained until the user deletes their account. Expired sessions and authentication tokens are automatically purged based on security best practices.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are made, we will notify you by updating the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Hintable after any modifications means you accept the updated policy.
