NovoBizAlert ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains how we collect, use and protect your information when you use our platform.
1. Information we collect
We collect the following categories of data when you use NovoBizAlert:
- Account data: name, email, encrypted password, profile picture (for Google login).
- Usage data: monitoring zones you create, businesses detected, alerts received.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device, anonymized usage logs.
- Payment data: handled exclusively by Stripe — we never store credit card numbers.
2. How we use your information
Your data is used only to:
- Provide the service: detect new businesses in your zones and send alerts.
- Bill subscriptions and prevent fraud.
- Improve the product based on aggregated and anonymized usage.
3. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We share only with essential service providers: Stripe (payments), Google Cloud / OpenStreetMap (geolocation), MongoDB Atlas (hosted storage), and email providers — all under strict confidentiality contracts.
We may disclose data only when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
4. Data security
We apply industry-standard security: encrypted passwords (bcrypt), HTTPS in transit, encryption at rest, and access restricted to authorized personnel. No system is 100% secure, but we work continuously to protect your data.
