Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed version of your password. We also store the application tracking data you enter, including firm names, role titles, deadlines, notes, and contact information you choose to save.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and maintain the Pipeline service
• Authenticate your account and protect your data
• Improve the service based on usage patterns
• Send important service-related communications

3. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in a secure PostgreSQL database. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with a cost factor of 12. We use HTTPS for all data transmission. We do not store payment information as the service is free.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. The only exception is anonymized, aggregated data in the community discussion feature ("Hive"), where your chosen anonymous username is visible to other users.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data
• Export your data in a machine-readable format

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies only for authentication (session tokens). We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting a notice on the service.
