Effective Date: 28th March 2025

Welcome to 10xBoost.dev (the "Service", "Site", "Community", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users ("user", "you", or "your"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website 10xBoost.dev, including any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:

a) Personal Data You Provide to Us:

  • Account Information: When you register for an account, join the community, or interact with certain features, we may collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, username, email address, and potentially profile information you choose to provide (like skills, interests, or portfolio links).
  • Communication Data: If you contact us directly (e.g., via email for support), we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide.
  • Community Content: We collect information you post within the community forums, project discussions, comments, or other interactive areas of the Service.

b) Payment Data (Processed by Stripe):

  • If you make purchases or subscribe to premium features, we use a third-party payment processor, Stripe, to handle transactions. We do not directly collect or store your full credit card number or other sensitive payment details.
  • We may receive information from Stripe necessary to confirm your payment, such as transaction IDs, subscription status, and partial payment details (like card type and last four digits) for verification and support purposes.
  • Your payment information is provided directly to Stripe, whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review Stripe's Privacy Policy: https://stripe.com/privacy.

c) Automatically Collected Information (Usage Data):

  • Log and Usage Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect information your browser sends whenever you visit our Service. This may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.
  • Analytics Data (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service offered by Google, to track and report website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.
    • This helps us understand user behavior, improve the Service, and analyze trends.
    • Google Analytics may collect information such as your IP address, device type, browser information, and pages visited.
    • You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons) to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

4. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

Usage data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our Service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.
