Privacy Policy

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials (or receive account identifiers from Google if you sign in with Google).

Usage and technical data. We automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and approximate timestamps when you interact with the Service. We use this data to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

Content you interact with. The Service displays research, narratives, claims, and related analytics. We may log which features you access to understand product usage and reliability.

We use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and authenticate access to the Service;
• Respond to support requests and communicate about your account;
• Monitor for abuse, fraud, and security incidents;
• Analyze usage to improve performance, features, and content quality;
• Comply with legal obligations.

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or similar jurisdictions, we process personal data based on: performance of a contract (providing the Service), legitimate interests (security, analytics, product improvement), and consent where required (for example, optional communications).

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers that help us run the Service (for example, hosting, authentication, and database providers such as Supabase and Vercel);
• Authentication partners when you choose Google sign-in (Google processes data under its own privacy policy);
• Legal and safety when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the Service.

We retain account and usage data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal requirements. You may request deletion of your account by contacting us.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing or request portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@4pillarreport.com. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

You can sign out at any time. If you signed in with Google, you may also manage permissions in your Google account settings.

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

We may process information in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. When we transfer data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate.
