This Privacy Policy explains what information Tartlet ("we", "us", "the Service") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Tartlet, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

We collect following information when you use Tartlet:

1. Account information: username and password (stored as a salted hash, never in plaintext.)
2. Profile information: bio, avatar URL, and other details you choose to add to your profile.
3. Content: pastes (HTML/CSS) and any other content you create or upload.
4. Technical data: IP address (used for moderation purposes, such as ban enforcement and abuse prevention), session/login timestamps.

2. Third-party links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites, services, or resources that are not owned or controlled by us.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of any third-party websites. When you leave our Service and visit a third-party website, your interactions are governed by that website's own terms and privacy policy.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites they visit before providing personal information.

3. How do we use your information?

We use the information to:

1. Operate, maintain and improve the Service,
2. Authenticate your account and keep it secure,
3. Enforce our Terms of Service, including banning users who violate them.
4. Respond to support requests and abuse reports.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies and sessions

We use a session cookie to keep you logged in. This cookie is necessary for the Service to function and is not used for advertising or third-party tracking.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including password hashing and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Tartlet is a passion project and you should not store highly sensitive information in your pastes or profile.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You can update most of your information through account settings, or contact us to request deletion of your account and associated data.

7. Children's privacy

Tartlet is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. Material changes will be noted with an updated "Last updated" date above.
