Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your username and email address. When you submit content, we store the URLs, captions, and hashtags you provide. We also collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) for security and performance purposes.

Anonymous users who do not create an account may store hashtag preferences locally in their browser via a cookie or local storage identifier. No personally identifiable information is collected from anonymous users.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve HashtagPLUS, send you account-related notifications, respond to support requests, and enforce our Terms of Service. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Cookies

HashtagPLUS uses essential session cookies for authentication and a theme preference cookie for dark/light mode. We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features (such as staying logged in) will not function without them.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or necessary to resolve disputes. Public posts you submitted may remain visible in anonymized or aggregated form.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You may also have the right to object to or restrict certain processing of your data. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email address below.

6. Third-Party Services

HashtagPLUS may use third-party services for infrastructure (such as hosting and error monitoring). These services have their own privacy policies. We do not share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
