Privacy Policy for Pocket Cursor

Last Updated: 10-09-2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pocket Cursor! This Privacy Policy describes how Pocket Cursor ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects your information when you visit and use our website, tools, and services (collectively, the "Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. We operate globally and strive to adhere to best practices in data protection.

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access or use our Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect various types of information for different purposes to provide and improve our Service to you. This information may include:

2.1. Information You Provide Directly

Account Information: When you create an account, sign up, or log in, we collect information such as your name, email address, password (stored in a securely encrypted, hashed format), and potentially a phone number or other contact details if you choose to provide them for account recovery, multi-factor authentication, or notifications.
Correspondence: If you contact us directly (e.g., via email, contact forms, or support channels), we may receive additional information about you, such as your name, email address, the contents of the message, and any attachments you may send us. This information is used to respond to your inquiries and improve our customer service.
User-Generated Content and Saved Data: While our free tools generally process inputs in real-time without persistent storage, if you choose to save or store content, settings, preferences, project data, or any other user-generated material within your account through a specific feature (e.g., saving a template, project file, or a custom configuration), that information will be collected and stored to provide the functionality you requested.

2.2. Information We Collect Automatically

When you access and use the Service, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage patterns, including:

Log Data: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, operating system, device type, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, referring/exit pages, and other diagnostic data. This helps us understand system performance and security.
Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our website and tools, such as features used, time spent on specific tools, page visit counts, clicks, scrolls, and other interactions. This data is often aggregated and anonymized to help us understand user behavior, improve tool functionality, and optimize user experience.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, and local storage) to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information. See Section 6 for more details.

2.3. Inputs into Tools

Inputs you provide into our free tools (e.g., text, parameters, files for processing) are generally processed in real-time on our servers or via third-party APIs (as described in Data Sharing). Unless explicitly saved by you as part of an account feature, these direct inputs are not persistently stored by Pocket Cursor in a way that is identifiable to you after the processing is complete. We may, however, collect anonymized, aggregated metadata about tool usage (e.g., length of input, tool used, success/failure rate) to improve tool performance and functionality, and for general analytical purposes. We do not use the direct content of your real-time tool inputs for training our internal AI models or for any purpose other than to deliver the immediate requested output to you, unless you explicitly save the content within your account.

3. Data Use

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

To provide, operate, maintain, and secure our Service, including running our free tools and guides.
To create, maintain, and secure your user account and personalize your experience.
To improve, personalize, and expand our Service (e.g., understanding which tools are most popular, developing new features).
To understand and analyze how you use our Service to enhance its functionality and user interface.
To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, for customer service, to provide you with updates, security alerts, and other information relating to the Service, and for marketing and promotional purposes (with your consent where required).
To process your transactions and manage your orders (if applicable).
To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or other malicious activities.
To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our Service.
To comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our terms and policies.

4. Data Sharing

We value your privacy and commit to never selling or sharing your personal account information (name, email, phone, password, saved identifiable content) with third parties for their independent marketing or commercial purposes. However, we may share other types of information in the following situations:

With Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services for us or on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, payment processing, information technology, customer service, email delivery, infrastructure providers, and auditing services. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your personal information and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than to provide service to Pocket Cursor.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) comply with a legal obligation (e.g., court order, subpoena), (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Pocket Cursor, (c) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service, (d) protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public, or (e) protect against legal liability.
Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.
With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.
Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you with third parties for various purposes, including business, research, marketing, or analytical purposes.
Third-Party APIs for Tool Functionality: Some of our tools may leverage external Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by third parties (e.g., for specialized data processing, content generation, or language models) to deliver their functionality. When you use such tools, your inputs may be sent to these third-party API providers for processing. We ensure that any such third-party providers are reputable and adhere to appropriate data security and privacy standards. Your inputs sent to these APIs are generally processed in real-time to generate outputs and are not persistently stored by the API providers beyond what is necessary for immediate processing, unless otherwise specified by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services whose APIs we integrate, as they may have different data handling practices.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

Retention: We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. This period may vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected. When you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information. However, we may retain certain information for a limited period as required by law (e.g., tax, audit, legal holds) or for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and maintaining the security of our users and Service.
Deletion Upon Request: You have the right to request the deletion of your account and associated personal data. Upon such a request, we will take reasonable steps to delete your data from our active systems. Please note that it may take some time for data to be fully removed from all backup and archival systems, but it will be rendered inaccessible in active systems. To request data deletion, please contact us using the information provided in the "Contact Information" section below.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons, pixels, and local storage) to track the activity on our Service and store certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data that may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. Tracking technologies also used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service.

6.1. How We Use Cookies:

Essential/Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Service. They enable core functionalities such as maintaining user sessions, enabling secure login, and providing anti-fraud mechanisms. The Service cannot function properly without these cookies.
Analytics/Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Service, such as which pages are visited most often, how much time is spent on them, and if users encounter any error messages. This helps us understand user behavior and improve the performance and design of our website. We may use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) for this purpose.
Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For example, they can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize.
Marketing/Targeting Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. While we do not sell your personal data for advertising purposes, these cookies may be used by third-party advertising partners who help us market our own services to you on other platforms.

6.2. Your Choices Regarding Cookies:

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Most browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service or some functionalities may be limited. You can typically find these settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verification of parental consent, we will take immediate steps to remove that information from our servers and terminate the associated account.

8. Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Security

The security of your data is paramount to us. We implement reasonable and appropriate technical, administrative, and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to, encryption (e.g., SSL/TLS), firewalls, regular security audits, access controls, multi-factor authentication, and data minimization. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a data breach, we will take steps to notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
