Privacy Policy
This policy describes how DuraNoia.AI collects, uses, and protects personal information when you use our website and services. We are committed to handling your data responsibly and transparently.
1. Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, profile details, showcase submissions, comments, and lesson progress. We also collect technical data like device type, browser, IP address, and usage logs. Passwords are never stored in plain text — they are handled by our authentication provider and stored only as a secure one-way hash.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to operate and improve DuraNoia, authenticate your account, save your learning progress, display showcase content, send service-related communications, and protect the platform against abuse. We may use aggregated or de-identified data to understand how the product is used and to plan improvements.
3. Legal bases for processing (GDPR)
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data based on one or more of the following: performance of a contract (providing the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (security, analytics, and product improvement), consent (where required, such as optional marketing), and legal obligation (when we must retain or disclose data to comply with law).
4. Third-party services
We rely on trusted providers for hosting, database infrastructure, authentication (including optional Google sign-in), email delivery, and analytics. These processors handle data on our behalf under contractual safeguards. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. Cookies & similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may limit functionality such as staying logged in across sessions.
6. Data retention
We retain account and progress data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal, security, or backup purposes.
7. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@duranoia.ai and we will respond as required by applicable law.
8. Data security
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure authentication practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's privacy
DuraNoia is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date on this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of DuraNoia after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
11. Contact
Privacy questions and requests may be sent to privacy@duranoia.ai. We will review and respond in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
