Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PageHatch ("PageHatch", "we", "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the PageHatch web application, website, and related services (the "Service"). It also describes how we handle data we receive from Google APIs. By using the Service you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account information: your name, email address, profile image, authentication identifiers, and account preferences when you sign in or create an account.
• Project and content information: the website URLs you analyze, generated and edited page content, templates, themes, domain settings, and publishing history you create in PageHatch.
• Communications: messages you send to our support address and any information you include in them.

Information collected automatically

• Usage information: features used, pages published, plan and quota usage, and interactions with the Service.
• Technical and log information: IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring pages, request timestamps, and error diagnostics needed to operate and secure the Service.

Information from connected third-party services

• Google Search Console data: if you connect Google Search Console, we access the search performance data (for example clicks, impressions, queries, and pages) and the properties you explicitly authorize through Google OAuth. Access is read-only, and we only request the scopes needed to sign you in and display your search performance.

2. How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

• create and maintain your account and authenticate you;
• analyze websites, generate draft page content, and let you review and edit it;
• publish pages to your PageHatch subdomain or your own custom domain;
• display search performance from Google Search Console inside PageHatch;
• enforce plan limits, prevent abuse and fraud, and keep the Service secure;
• troubleshoot problems, provide support, and improve the product; and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use Google user data for advertising, resale, or unrelated profiling.

3. Google user data and Google API Services

PageHatch's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

• We request only the Google OAuth scopes required for the features you enable: openid, email, and read-only access to Google Search Console (webmasters.readonly).
• We use Google user data solely to provide and improve the features you request — signing you in and displaying your Search Console performance inside PageHatch.
• We do not use Google user data to serve advertising, and we do not sell it to third parties.
• We do not allow humans to read your Google user data unless you give us permission, it is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, to comply with applicable law, or for our internal operations that are part of providing the Service.
• We do not use Google user data to train generalized or third-party AI models.
• You can revoke PageHatch's access at any time from your Google Account permissions page, or disconnect Search Console from within PageHatch.

4. Cookies and local storage

We use cookies and browser local storage that are necessary to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and operate the Service securely. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser, but some features such as staying signed in will stop working.

5. How we share information

We share information only as described below:

• Service providers: vendors that help us run the Service, such as cloud hosting, content delivery, database, object storage, authentication, email, and AI text-generation providers. They receive only the information needed to perform their service and are bound by contractual obligations.
• Legal and safety: when required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of PageHatch, our users, or the public.
• Business transfers: if PageHatch is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this policy.
• With your direction: when you ask us to share information or connect a third-party service.

We do not sell personal information and we do not share Google user data with third parties for advertising.

6. Data retention

We retain account and project information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete a project or page, published content and related versions are removed from active serving, and associated storage is deleted in the ordinary course of operation. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must retain records for security, legal, tax, or accounting purposes, or in encrypted backups for a limited additional period.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You can:

• update account and project information from within PageHatch;
• disconnect Google Search Console or revoke Google access at any time;
• delete projects, pages, and domains from within PageHatch;
• request account deletion, access, correction, or a copy of your data by emailing us at the address below.

We will respond to verified requests within the timeframe required by applicable law. You will not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and isolation of tenant data. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so please use a strong, unique password and protect your account credentials and connected accounts.

9. International transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than the one in which you live, including the United States, where our service providers operate. When we transfer personal information internationally we take steps designed to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection consistent with this policy and applicable law.

10. Children

PageHatch is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
