Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Compyrix ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website https://www.compyrix.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.

By using Compyrix, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these practices, please discontinue use of the Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Contact form submissions: Your name, email address, and message when you use our contact form.
• AI tool inputs: The text prompts you enter into our AI-powered tools to generate results. These are processed to return results and are not stored on our servers.
• Newsletter sign-ups: Your email address if you subscribe to be notified about new tool launches.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, device type, and IP address (used for rate limiting and abuse prevention).
• Cookies and similar technologies: Used for analytics, remembering your cookie consent preference, and serving relevant advertising.

2.3 What We Do NOT Collect

• Our calculation, conversion, and image tools process data entirely in your browser. The content you input into these tools (text, numbers, files) never leaves your device and is never sent to or stored on our servers.
• We do not require accounts, so we do not collect passwords or personal profile information.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve our tools and Service.
• To respond to your questions, feedback, and support requests.
• To prevent abuse, enforce rate limits, and ensure the security of our Service.
• To analyze usage patterns and understand which tools are most useful.
• To send you notifications about new tool launches if you have opted in.
• To serve and measure the performance of advertising.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for the basic functioning of the website, including remembering your cookie consent preference.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our tools so we can improve them.
• Advertising cookies: Used by our advertising partners (including Google AdSense) to serve relevant ads and measure their effectiveness.

When you first visit Compyrix, you will see a cookie consent banner. You can choose to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your preference is stored locally in your browser.

5. Third-Party Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google AdSense, to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. The use of cookies for serving ads enables Google and its partners to gauge the effectiveness of their ad campaigns and to deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests.

6. AI-Powered Tools

Our AI-powered tools use third-party AI APIs (including Groq) to generate content. When you use these tools, the text you enter as a prompt is sent to our server and then forwarded to the AI provider to generate a response. The response is returned to you and is not stored on our servers.

We implement rate limiting on AI tool usage to prevent abuse. Rate limits are based on your IP address. We may also use human verification (such as Cloudflare Turnstile) before processing AI requests to prevent automated abuse.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with the following categories of third parties:

• AI API providers (e.g., Groq): To process AI tool requests. Only the prompt text is transmitted.
• Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense): To display and measure ads.
• Analytics providers: To understand website usage.
• Service providers: Hosting, CDN, and security services that help us operate the site.

We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

8. Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and newsletter email addresses for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or provide the service you requested. Analytics and usage data is retained in aggregated form. AI tool prompts and outputs are not retained after the request is completed.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data.
• Opt-out: Opt out of personalized advertising and non-essential cookies.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with both frameworks.

10. Children's Privacy

Compyrix is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

11. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including using HTTPS encryption for all data transmission, implementing rate limiting and abuse prevention, and not storing sensitive data from our browser-based tools. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
