Privacy Policy

CodeAuthenticityCheck ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Code Authenticity Check platform and related services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect your information when you use our website, services, or applications.

By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, you must not use our services.

We collect information that you provide directly to us, including but not limited to: name, email address, company or organization name, job title, billing and payment information, account credentials, communication preferences, and any other information you voluntarily submit through our forms, support channels, or account settings.

When you use our services, we automatically collect certain information, including: IP address, device type and identifier, browser type and version, operating system, referral source, pages visited, time and date of access, session duration, and related usage data.

We may collect information from third-party sources, such as identity verification providers, payment processors, and publicly available business registries, where permitted by applicable law.

We use the information we collect to: provide, operate, maintain, and improve our services; process transactions and send related communications; respond to inquiries, requests, and support tickets; send administrative messages, security alerts, and updates about our services; personalize your experience and tailor content; monitor and analyze usage patterns, trends, and performance; detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical issues; comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights; and conduct research and analytics to improve our products and services.

We may use aggregated or de-identified data for product development, benchmarking, and marketing purposes without identifying you personally.

We use cookies, web beacons, local storage, and similar technologies to store and retrieve information on your device. These technologies help us: maintain your session and authenticate your identity; remember your preferences and settings; understand how you interact with our services; analyze traffic and usage patterns; and deliver relevant content and advertisements.

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of our services and cannot be disabled. Performance and analytics cookies help us understand how our site is used. Functionality cookies remember your choices. You may control non-essential cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may limit certain features.

Third-party services embedded on our site, such as analytics providers, may also set their own cookies. We encourage you to review their privacy policies for more information.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may share your information with: service providers and vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, payment processing, email delivery, customer support, and analytics, under contractual obligations to protect your data; our affiliates and subsidiaries for purposes consistent with this policy; professional advisors, including lawyers, accountants, and auditors, in connection with legal or business matters; law enforcement, regulators, or other parties when required by law, court order, or legal process, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or property; and potential or actual acquirers in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or bankruptcy, where your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

We retain your information for as long as your account is active, as needed to provide our services, or as required to fulfill the purposes described in this policy.

Uploaded code and repository content are processed in transient mode for report generation. We do not retain your uploaded codebases after analysis is complete, except where retention is necessary for compliance, dispute resolution, or as otherwise required by law.

Account data, contact form submissions, support correspondence, and usage analytics may be retained for operational, legal, and business purposes. When we no longer need your information, we will securely delete or anonymize it, subject to legal retention requirements.

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate, access controls, regular security assessments, and employee training on data protection.

Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for any activity that occurs under your account.

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your country of residence, including the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

When we transfer personal information from the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other regions with restrictive data protection laws, we implement appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or other mechanisms approved by relevant authorities.

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such information.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including: the right to access and receive a copy of your data; the right to correct or update inaccurate information; the right to request deletion of your information; the right to restrict or object to certain processing; the right to data portability; the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us via the Support page. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. You may also manage your communication preferences and certain account settings through your account dashboard.

Residents of California may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA.

Our services may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and, where appropriate, by email or other means. Your continued use of our services after the effective date of the revised policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
