Usage Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages viewed, articles read, search queries, timestamps, referring URLs, browser type, and device information.

Payments are processed through Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number or bank account details.

- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
- Process subscriptions and payments.
- Personalize your experience, including content recommendations.
- Send transactional emails (account verification, subscription confirmations, receipts).
- Communicate updates, security alerts, and support messages.
- Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve platform performance.
- Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or technical issues.
3. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:
- Stripe: Payment and subscription data is shared with Stripe to process transactions securely via Stripe Connect.
- Writers: When you subscribe to a writer, they can see your name, email, and subscription status to manage their audience.
- Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party providers who assist with hosting, analytics, and email delivery, subject to confidentiality obligations.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., financial transaction records). Aggregated, anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

LegalPulse Pro is not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
8. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS), secure authentication, and access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
