Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

1. Introduction

Wokeometer ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our website at wokeometer.app and related services (the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Account Data: When you sign in via X (Twitter) or email, we collect your username, email address, and profile picture.
  • User Content: Comments, reviews, ratings, personal notes, and watchlist entries you create on the Service.
  • Payment Data: When you subscribe to Pro, payment is processed entirely by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number. We store your Stripe customer ID to manage your subscription.
  • Feedback: Any messages or reports you submit through the feedback system.
  • Referral Invitations: If you invite a friend, we collect the email address you provide to send the invitation on your behalf. We also record which account referred a new sign-up so we can apply referral rewards.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, analysis requests made, timestamps, and interaction patterns.
  • Device Data: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language preferences.
  • IP Address: Used for rate limiting guest usage and security purposes. Not linked to your account for logged-in users.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
  • To authenticate your identity and manage your account
  • To process Pro membership payments and manage subscriptions
  • To display your comments, reviews, and community contributions
  • To enforce our Terms of Service and prevent abuse
  • To communicate service updates, billing notifications, and important changes
  • To analyze usage patterns and improve our analysis systems

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We use essential cookies and local storage for authentication (session tokens) and user preferences (theme, language). Analytics data is collected through Vercel's built-in analytics, which does not use cookies, and through Google Analytics, which does. Where enabled, we also use Google AdSense to display advertising; Google and its partners may set cookies (including the DoubleClick/advertising cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites and to measure ad performance. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com or, for advertisers generally, at optout.aboutads.info.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these circumstances:

  • Public Content: Comments, reviews, and ratings you post are visible to all users. Your username and Pro badge status are displayed alongside your contributions.
  • Service Providers: We share data with third-party services listed above as necessary to operate the Service.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Wokeometer or others.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., billing records). Anonymous usage analytics may be retained indefinitely.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS), secure authentication via Supabase, and role-based access controls. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Export your data in a portable format
  • Opt out of non-essential data processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at business@wokeometer.app.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
