Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 12, 2026
Brand Builder ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our platform at brand-builder.io.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and, optionally, your name and profile photo. If you sign in via GitHub or Google, we receive your public profile information from those services.
Profile Information: Information you voluntarily add to your public profile, including your username, headline, bio, skills, and project descriptions.
Analytics Data: We collect anonymized profile view data, including hashed IP addresses (never stored in plain text), browser type, referral source, and country. This data is used to power your analytics dashboard.
Technical Data: Standard server logs including request timestamps and response codes, used for security monitoring and debugging.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain your account and public profile
- To display privacy-focused analytics on your dashboard
- To send transactional emails (verification, password reset)
- To detect and prevent abuse, spam, and security threats
- To improve the platform based on aggregated, anonymized usage patterns
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share data with:
- Service providers that help us operate the platform (email delivery, file storage), under strict data processing agreements
- Law enforcement if required by law or to protect our legal rights
4. Cookies & Tracking
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. If Google Analytics is enabled, it operates with IP anonymization turned on.
5. Data Security
We protect your data with industry-standard measures including password hashing (bcrypt), HTTPS encryption, IP address hashing for analytics, CSRF protection, and rate limiting on all sensitive endpoints.
6. Data Retention
Your account data is retained as long as your account is active. Analytics data is aggregated and raw records are periodically purged. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes via email. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance.
