Privacy Policy¶
Effective Date: March 13, 2026
Welcome to Jade GT. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our web application and services.
1. Our "Local-First" Philosophy¶
Jade GT is built on a "local-first" architecture. Unlike traditional web applications, we do not upload, store, or transmit your photographic images or their metadata to our servers.
All photo processing—including reading EXIF data, applying geocoding coordinates, and renaming files—happens entirely within your web browser’s memory. Your original files stay on your device at all times.
2. Information We Collect¶
A. Information You Provide to Us¶
- Account & Billing Information: If you subscribe to our "Pro" tier, we collect your email address and any billing details required by our payment processor.
- Support & Feedback: When you use the "Support" modal or email us directly, we collect your email address and the content of your message to assist you.
B. Automated Technical Data¶
Like most web services, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may collect standard log information, including: * Internet Protocol (IP) address * Browser type and version * Time and date of access * Operating system
3. How We Use Your Information¶
We use the collected information to: * Manage your Pro subscription and process payments. * Respond to your support requests and bug reports. * Monitor the security and performance of our web application. * Comply with legal and tax obligations.
4. Third-Party Service Providers¶
To provide our services, we use the following trusted third-party providers:
- Stripe: Processes all payments. Jade GT never sees or stores your full credit card or bank account information. Stripe’s privacy policy can be found at stripe.com/privacy.
- Cloudflare: Provides our web hosting and security infrastructure.
- Map Providers: When you use the search bar, your query is sent to OpenStreetMap (Nominatim) to provide location results. This data is not linked to your personal identity.
5. Local Browser Storage¶
Jade GT uses browser-based storage technologies (LocalStorage and IndexedDB) to enhance your experience. This allows the app to: * Remember your location presets. * Save your current session progress so you don't lose work if you refresh the page. * Store your user preferences (e.g., Light/Dark mode).
This data stays on your device. You can clear this information at any time by clearing your browser's cache or using the "Clear All" function within the app.
6. Data Retention¶
- We retain billing records for as long as required by international tax laws (typically 7 years).
- We retain support correspondence only as long as necessary to resolve your request and improve our service.
7. Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)¶
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights: * Access: The right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. * Correction: The right to request that we correct inaccurate data. * Deletion: The right to request that we delete your account and associated email from our records.
To exercise these rights, please contact us through the Support modal in the app or at [email protected].
8. Changes to This Policy¶
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
