Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, and authentication credentials. If you sign up via email/password, your password is cryptographically hashed and stored securely by our authentication provider (Supabase); we never see or store your raw password.

User-Generated Content: We collect the vehicle data, parts lists, and images you voluntarily upload to the platform.

Usage & Device Data: We automatically collect technical information when you visit the site, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the BuildRegistry service.
• To manage your account and authentication sessions.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: We use IP addresses and device identifiers to detect and prevent abuse, spam, and fraudulent clicks on vendor links.
• To improve our website and analyze usage trends.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to improve your experience. These include:

• Essential Cookies: Required for you to log in and keep your session active (managed by Supabase).
• Affiliate Tracking: When you click a "Buy" link to a third-party vendor (e.g., eBay), a tracking cookie or tag may be used to attribute the referral to us.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on trusted third-party providers to operate our service. Your data may be processed by:

• Supabase: For authentication, database hosting, and file storage.
• Affiliate Networks: We may share anonymized click data with affiliate partners (like the eBay Partner Network) to verify referrals.

5. Data Retention & Security

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
