PRIVACY POLICY

At GOAT-METER, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect information you provide to us directly, such as when you create an account, post comments in the forum, or make a payment. This includes:

• Name and Email Address
• Authentication Data (via OAuth providers like Google or Spotify)
• Payment Information (processed securely by Stripe; we don't store full credit card numbers)
• Usage Data (votes, boosts, and comments)

2. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your information to operate and improve the Service, process your transactions, communicate with you regarding your account, and maintain the integrity of the public rating systems (e.g., preventing fraud or abuse).

3. COOKIES AND TRACKING

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies strictly for authentication (keeping you logged in) and basic site performance analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

4. SHARING YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We only share information with trusted third-party service providers (like Supabase for database hosting and Stripe for payment processing) strictly for the purpose of operating the Service.

5. SECURITY

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal data, but no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
