1. Introduction
Welcome to Catalyst Scope. We respect your privacy and are strictly committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.
2. Information We Collect
We believe in data minimization. We only collect what is strictly necessary to provide our service:
- Account Information: We collect your email address when you sign up. This serves as your unique user identifier and is required for account security and recovery.
- Usage Data: To function, our system stores the search filters, keywords, and AI prompts you configure. This data is used solely to execute the analysis jobs you request.
3. How We Use Your Email
We use your email address strictly for transactional and security purposes.
- No Marketing: We do not send marketing emails, newsletters, or spam.
- Contact Reasons: We will only contact you to:
- Send a password reset link (upon your request).
- Verify your identity if you request to change your email or account settings.
- Confirm your account creation.
4. Data Sharing & Sales
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. Your data is yours. We do not monetize your usage patterns, personal details, or financial interests.
5. Data Security
We implement robust security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data.
- Password Security: Your passwords are never stored in plain text. They are securely hashed using Bcrypt (an industry-standard encryption algorithm) before being stored in our database. This ensures that even in the unlikely event of a data breach, your password remains unreadable.
6. Your Rights & Data Deletion
You have full control over your data:
- Access & Update: You can view and update your account details at any time via the "My Account" page.
- Deletion: You have the right to delete your account permanently. If you choose to delete your account via the settings panel, all your data—including saved filters, tracked documents, and personal information—is immediately and permanently removed from our servers.
