Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Promptly is built on the principle of thoughtful, meaningful exchange. We believe your privacy deserves the same care. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

What We Collect

Account Information

When you sign up, we collect your email address and username. Your password is hashed using industry-standard encryption and never stored in plain text.

Content You Create

We store the prompts you write, comments you post, and your interactions (likes, bookmarks). This content is tied to your account and displayed according to your settings.

Usage Information

We collect basic technical information like IP addresses, browser type, and timestamps to keep the service running smoothly and securely.

Why We Collect It

  • To create and manage your account
  • To display your prompts and interactions to other users
  • To enable you to like, comment, and bookmark content
  • To protect against spam, abuse, and security threats
  • To improve the platform based on how it's used

How We Protect Your Data

Your password is hashed using bcrypt before storage. We use secure HTTPS connections for all data transmission. Our database is hosted on secure, industry-standard infrastructure.

We never sell your data. We don't run ads. Your information is used solely to provide and improve Promptly.

What We Share

Public Content

Prompts you post are public by default and visible to all users. Your username and profile information are also public.

Private Content

Your email address, password, and bookmarks are private. We do not share this information with third parties except as required by law.

Service Providers

We use trusted third-party services for hosting (Vercel, Supabase). These providers have access to data only as necessary to provide infrastructure services.

Cookies & Tracking

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking scripts.

Data Retention

We retain your account information and content for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, though some content may remain in backups for up to 90 days.

Children's Privacy

Promptly is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

International Users

Promptly is operated in the United States. If you're accessing from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US. By using Promptly, you consent to this transfer.
