This Privacy Policy describes how Web-SG-getpictools (“we”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use Coding Tools at getcodingtools.com (the “Service”).
1. Information We Collect
We collect the minimum information necessary to provide the Service:
- Account Information: Username and hashed password when you register. We never store plain-text passwords.
- API Usage Data: Number of API calls made, associated with your API token, for allowance tracking, billing fulfillment, and rate-limiting purposes.
- IP Addresses: Temporarily processed for rate limiting and abuse prevention. Not stored long-term.
2. Data We Do NOT Collect
- We do not store the content you submit to our API tools. Input data is processed in memory and discarded after the response is returned.
- We do not store API execution payloads for analytics. We use Google Analytics for basic site traffic measurement, and advertising providers may set cookies on pages where ads are shown.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To authenticate you and provide API access.
- To enforce rate limits and account-level call allowances.
- To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security incidents.
- To communicate service-related announcements (e.g., maintenance, policy updates).
4. Data Storage & Security
Account data is stored on secure servers. We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted password storage (scrypt hashing) and HTTPS for all data in transit. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Third-Party Services
Paid plans are processed by Paddle as our payment provider. Paddle may collect billing information required to complete your purchase under its own privacy terms. Our Service uses Google Analytics for basic traffic measurement and may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and Monetag. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve or measure ads based on your visits to this website or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings where applicable. For more information, please review Paddle's, Google's, and Monetag's privacy policies.
6. Data Retention
Account data is retained as long as your account remains active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. API call totals and purchased allowance history are retained to support entitlement restoration, fraud prevention, and billing support.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date.
