Privacy Policy

1. Our Commitment to Privacy

We built WhatTheyMean to help parents navigate online communication safely and confidently. Reflecting our deep respect for user privacy, we intentionally minimize the data we collect and strive to handle any necessary data responsibly.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only essential information required to provide and secure our services:

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and securely store your password using NextAuth to facilitate login and account management.
• Usage Data: We collect minimal, anonymized information through our hosting provider (Vercel) to monitor site performance and security. This data includes IP addresses, browser types, and pages visited, but it is anonymized and aggregated so we can't identify individual users.

3. Cookies

We only use cookies essential for authentication and basic site functionality:

• Authentication Cookies: These cookies manage your login sessions securely.
• No Marketing Cookies: We don't use cookies for marketing, analytics, or advertising purposes.

4. Hosting and Infrastructure

• Vercel: Our website is securely hosted on Vercel, which provides server and infrastructure security measures to protect your data.
• CDN and Domain Registration: We use Vercel's global content delivery network (CDN) to deliver content efficiently. Our domain is registered through Cloudflare, enhancing security and website availability. Cloudflare does not collect or store personal user information through our site.
• Database: User account information (like email) is stored securely in a PostgreSQL database hosted by Neon. We interact with the database using Prisma, an ORM that helps manage data access securely.

5. Code Storage and Security

• GitHub: Our site’s code is securely stored and managed via GitHub. No personal user data is stored or managed within GitHub.

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We have deliberately chosen not to integrate third-party advertising services, trackers, or social media logins, upholding our commitment to privacy. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third-party marketers or advertisers.

7. Data Security

We implement strong security measures, including encryption and secure hosting practices, to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

8. Access and Control of Your Data

You have full control over your data. You can request access, corrections, or deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us (see contact details below).

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.

10. Children's Privacy

WhatTheyMean is explicitly designed for adult users (parents and guardians). We do not knowingly collect or process data from children under 13. If we learn we have inadvertently collected such data, we will promptly delete it.

11. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Any significant changes will be prominently communicated through our website.
