1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how PageVeil collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our website at pageveil.net, our browser extension, and related services.

PageVeil is a browser extension and web service that helps users blur, hide, or replace sensitive information on webpages before screen sharing, demos, recordings, and screenshots. Normal page protection runs locally in your browser; we do not require you to upload webpages or screenshots just to apply blur, masking, or replacement rules. By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information required to operate PageVeil, manage subscriptions, and provide support:

Account Information: Your name and email address when you register, contact support, or subscribe to a plan.
Billing Information: Payments are processed by Paddle. We receive limited billing metadata, such as your plan, subscription status, customer identifiers, and transaction identifiers, needed for account management and support. We do not see your full card details.
Usage and Device Data: Basic analytics and technical data such as browser type, IP-derived region, pages visited on pageveil.net, and feature usage patterns to improve reliability, onboarding, and product quality.
Support Communications: Information you provide when contacting us, including support emails, diagnostic details, and any attachments you choose to send.
Extension and Page Protection Data: PageVeil may process selected text, element metadata, page URLs, domains, paths, and saved rule settings in your browser so it can blur, hide, or replace sensitive information. For normal protection workflows, webpage content is not uploaded to PageVeil servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve PageVeil services, the website, and the browser extension
  • Process subscriptions, billing events, refunds, renewals, and account access through Paddle
  • Send service notices, security alerts, and billing notifications
  • Respond to customer support requests in a timely manner
  • Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and unauthorized activity
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
  • Analyze aggregate usage trends to improve privacy workflows, extension reliability, and the overall user experience

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited situations:

Service Providers: With trusted vendors who help us operate PageVeil, such as cloud hosting, analytics, transactional email delivery, customer support tools, and payment processing (Paddle). These providers are contractually bound to process data only as directed.
Legal Compliance: When disclosure is required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a valid government request.
Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, or sale of company assets, where your data may be transferred as part of the transaction.
At Your Direction: When you explicitly request or authorize us to share your information with a third party.

5. Data Security

We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Key protections include access controls, encrypted transport (TLS), and internal policies designed to limit data access to authorized personnel only. Normal blur, hide, and replacement actions are applied locally in your browser, which reduces the need to transmit page content.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and for notifying us promptly if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold.
Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to applicable legal or operational retention requirements.
Data Portability: Request your data in a commonly used, machine-readable format where technically feasible.
Marketing Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from promotional emails at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us directly.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at help@pageveil.net. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar browser technologies to support core functionality, security, and analytics on our website.

Essential Cookies: Required for login sessions, account security, and core site functionality. These cannot be disabled without affecting the service.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how users interact with the website so we can improve performance and features.
Preference Cookies: Store your interface preferences (such as language selection) to improve your experience across visits.

You can manage or disable cookies in your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may limit certain service functionality.

8. Children's Privacy

PageVeil is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action, including deletion of that data.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

Your continued use of PageVeil after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
