Privacy Policy

1. Overview

DataView is committed to protecting your privacy. Our core functionality processes your data entirely in your browser — no user data is sent to our servers during standard usage. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

2. Data We Collect

We collect limited information necessary to provide and improve our service:

• Account Information — When you create an account via Clerk, we collect your email address and display name.
• Payment Information — Payments are processed by Stripe. Card details are stored and handled entirely by Stripe; we never store your full card number on our servers.
• Usage Analytics — We use PostHog to collect anonymized page views and feature usage data. This helps us understand how the product is used and improve it.
• Error Reports — We use Sentry to collect stack traces and error metadata when something goes wrong. Error reports do not include your personal data or the content of your files.

3. Client-Side Processing

We never send your data to our servers unless you explicitly opt in to one of the following features:

• AI Analysis (opt-in) — When you use AI-powered features, your data is sent to the Google Gemini API for processing. This is clearly indicated in the UI before any data is transmitted.
• Cloud Storage (opt-in) — When you save documents to the cloud, they are stored in Supabase. You control which documents are saved and can delete them at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate DataView:

• Clerk — Authentication and user management
• Stripe — Payment processing and subscription billing
• Supabase — Cloud document storage (opt-in)
• Google Gemini — AI-powered data analysis features (opt-in)
• PostHog — Product analytics
• Sentry — Error tracking and monitoring
• Vercel — Hosting and deployment

Each service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies for details on how they handle data.

5. Data Retention

• Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all associated data is removed.
• Cloud documents are deleted upon account deletion. You may also delete individual documents at any time from within the application.
• Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated after 90 days. Individual session data is not retained beyond this period.

6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the following rights:

• Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Deletion — Request deletion of your personal data and account.
• Export — Request an export of your data in a portable format.
• Opt out of analytics — You may disable analytics tracking at any time from the Settings page or by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@dataview.dev.

7. Cookies

• Essential cookies — Used to maintain your authentication session. These are required for the application to function and cannot be disabled.
• Analytics cookies (optional) — PostHog may set cookies for analytics purposes. You can opt out of analytics tracking from the Settings page.

We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

8. Security

We take the security of your data seriously. All connections to DataView are encrypted via HTTPS. Cloud-stored documents are encrypted at rest. We never store credentials in plain text. Authentication is handled by Clerk, which implements industry-standard security practices including multi-factor authentication support.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify users via email or an in-app notification. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
