Hacker Buddy: Privacy policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use Hacker Buddy, how we use it, and who we share it with.

2. This website

This website does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts, and it does not set cookies. Like any website, the server that hosts it may keep standard access logs, such as IP address, time of request, and browser type.

3. Information we collect when you use Hacker Buddy

Contact details: your email address, and anything you write to us, so we can set up your account and reply.
Domains and test results: the domains you add, what we find exposed to the internet there, and the weaknesses the tests report.
Usage information: your account identifier, timestamps, and how many tests were run, used to operate the service and enforce fair-use limits.
Technical information: IP address and basic request details, used for security and to detect and prevent automated abuse.

4. How we use your information

We use this information to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the service, and to communicate with you about it. We do not sell or rent your personal information.

5. How tests are processed

Hacker Buddy uses third-party AI providers to analyse test results and write reports and alerts. When a test runs:

The results, including technical details about the systems tested, are sent to an AI provider for processing.
When an earlier report is included for comparison, its text is sent as well.
The AI provider handles that data under its own terms and privacy policy.

6. Who we share information with

We share information only with the service providers needed to run Hacker Buddy, such as AI providers, hosting providers, and payment processors, and only for that purpose. We may also disclose information where the law requires it.

7. Your responsibility

Important: Only add domains you are authorised to have tested. If a test comes across personal or confidential data that your site exposes, we use it only to report the finding to you. By using Hacker Buddy, you acknowledge that test results are processed by a third-party AI service.

8. Retention and your rights

We keep information for as long as it is needed for the purposes described above. You can ask us what information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing hi@hackerbuddy.example.

9. Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no online service is completely secure.

10. Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time and will post the new version on this page. Your continued use of Hacker Buddy after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
