🔒 Privacy Policy

At Devfolio Studio (operated by Zabitech), we take your privacy seriously. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our platform.

1. Information we collect

1.1. Account data

When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and password (hashed). If you sign up via GitHub or Google, we store the OAuth provider ID and your public profile information.

1.2. Portfolio data

We store the content you create in your portfolio: projects, skills, bio, images, custom CSS, and any other information you choose to add. This data is owned by you and can be exported or deleted at any time.

1.3. Usage data

We collect anonymised usage data to improve our service. This includes:

• Page views – which pages you visit
• Template selections – which templates you preview or use
• Feature usage – which features you interact with
• Performance metrics – load times and error logs

1.4. Cookies & tracking

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We also use analytics cookies (via Plausible or Umami) that are privacy‑friendly and do not track you across other sites. You can opt out of analytics at any time.

2. How we use your data

• To provide the service – create and host your portfolio, manage your account, and process payments (via Stripe).
• To improve the platform – analyse usage patterns, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• To communicate with you – send transactional emails (welcome, billing, project updates) and occasional product announcements (you can opt out).
• To ensure security – detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access.

3. Data sharing & third parties

We never sell your personal data. We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform:

• Firebase (Google) – authentication, database, and hosting
• Stripe – payment processing (we never store your full card details)
• Cloudflare – CDN and security
• Analytics providers (privacy‑focused) – to understand usage

All third parties are bound by strict data protection agreements and process your data only for the purposes we specify.

4. Your rights

You have the following rights under the GDPR and other applicable privacy laws:

• Access – request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Correction – update inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion – request permanent deletion of your account and all associated data
• Portability – export your portfolio data in a machine‑readable format
• Object – object to certain processing activities (e.g., marketing emails)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at zabitechcommunity@gmail.com .

5. Data retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will permanently remove your portfolio data within 30 days. Anonymised usage data may be retained for longer to improve our service.

6. Security

We implement industry‑standard security measures to protect your data:

• Encryption – all data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest
• Access controls – only essential staff have access to production data
• Regular audits – we review our security practices periodically
• PCI compliance – Stripe handles all payments, we never see your card details

7. Children's privacy

Devfolio Studio is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.
