Privacy Policy

404Fault ("we", "us", "Platform") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share data when you use our Service. It applies globally and is written to be understandable regardless of your location.

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information: Your full name, email address, and optional profile photo when you register.
• Profile data: Display name, biography, role, and any other profile fields you choose to fill in.
• Content you publish: Projects, prompts, AI rules, comments, and associated media files you upload to the Platform.
• Usage data: Pages visited, features used, actions taken (likes, follows, comments), and timestamps of those actions.
• API access data: If you create developer tokens, we store token metadata (prefix, scopes, creation date) but never the raw token value.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the Platform
• Enable collaboration features (follows, likes, comments, library)
• Send notifications relevant to your activity
• Enforce our Terms of Service and Content Policy
• Improve the Platform based on aggregate usage patterns
• Respond to your support requests

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.

The Platform is built on Google Firebase, which provides authentication, database (Firestore), and file storage services. Your data is stored on Google's infrastructure and is subject to Google's privacy and security practices. Firebase is SOC 2 certified and complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other international data protection standards.

We may use additional third-party services for analytics or infrastructure. Any such services are selected with privacy in mind, and we do not share personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for service operation.

We share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Publicly visible content: Projects, prompts, and rules you mark as public are visible to all registered users of the Platform.
• Open-source projects: Projects you mark as open source may be added to other users' libraries by reference.
• Legal obligation: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Platform, our users, or the public.

We retain your account and content data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal profile data. However, content you contributed publicly (comments, published projects) may remain on the Platform in anonymized or attributed form unless you explicitly request deletion of that content.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data
• Receive your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the email provided on the Platform. We will respond within 30 days.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. All data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS connections. Authentication tokens are hashed and never stored in plain text. No internet transmission is 100% secure; you use the Service at your own risk.

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

The Platform operates globally. By using the Service, you consent to the processing of your information in countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your country of residence. We take appropriate steps to ensure adequate protection regardless of transfer location.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via the Platform or email. Continued use of the Service after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us at the email listed on the Platform.
