Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 20, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you use gematrianumbers.com and create an account, we collect:

• Email address — used as your account identifier and for subscription-related communications
• Password — stored as a bcrypt hash; we never see or store your plaintext password
• Subscription status — whether your account is free, paid, or admin tier
• Search and page-view history — used to personalize your experience and improve our services
• Payment information — processed entirely by PayPal; we never see, store, or transmit your credit card number, bank account, or other financial account details

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the gematrianumbers.com service
• To verify your subscription status and grant or revoke access to premium content
• To personalize your experience (saved searches, report preferences)
• To communicate about your account or subscription (e.g., access link recovery)
• To detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized access

3. What We Do NOT Do

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties
• We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers
• We do not use your data for targeted advertising
• We do not store your payment card details (PayPal handles all financial data)

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect information:

• PayPal — processes all subscription payments. PayPal's own privacy policy governs how they handle your payment data. We only receive your email address and subscription status from PayPal, never your financial details.
• Google Fonts — loads fonts from Google's CDN. Google may receive your IP address when fonts are loaded.
• Discord — our Discord bot operates separately; data shared in Discord is governed by Discord's privacy policy.

5. Cookies and Sessions

• We use a single session cookie to keep you logged in across page loads
• The cookie is HTTP-only (not accessible via JavaScript), expires after 14 days of inactivity, and is set to "lax" same-site policy
• Google Analytics is loaded with Google Consent Mode. Analytics storage and advertising signals are denied until you opt in through the cookie settings banner.

6. Data Retention

• We retain your account data (email, password hash, subscription status) as long as your account exists
• Search and view history is retained to power personalization features
• If you delete your account, your personal data is removed from our active systems

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data:

• All traffic is encrypted via TLS 1.2/1.3 (HTTPS)
• Passwords are bcrypt-hashed, never stored in plaintext
• Session tokens are cryptographically signed and tamper-proof
• We do not expose raw database access to the public internet

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

• You may request access to the personal data we hold about you
• You may request deletion of your account and associated data
• You may update your account information at any time
