Privacy Policy

SingleReveal ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our service at www.singlereveal.com.

1. Information We Collect

SingleReveal is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal information:

• Secrets you submit: Encrypted and stored temporarily in our database. Secrets are automatically deleted after they are viewed or after their expiry time.
• IP addresses: Collected temporarily for rate limiting purposes to prevent abuse. Not stored permanently.
• Usage data: Basic server logs including request times and error messages. No personally identifiable information is stored in logs.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely to:

• Provide the secret sharing service
• Prevent abuse through rate limiting
• Monitor and improve service reliability
• Comply with legal obligations

3. How We Protect Your Data

All secrets are encrypted using AES-256-GCM encryption before being stored. We never store secrets in plain text. Secrets are permanently and irreversibly deleted after they are viewed or after their time limit expires. We use HTTPS to protect all data in transit.

4. Data Retention

Secrets are stored only for the duration you specify, with a maximum of 7 days. After a secret is viewed or expires, it is immediately and permanently deleted from our systems with no backup copies retained.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google AdSense: We display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Railway: Our hosting provider. Your data is processed on their infrastructure.
• Google Fonts: Used for typography. Google may collect usage data when fonts are loaded.

6. Cookies

7. Children's Privacy

SingleReveal is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
