Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 25, 2023 (Last Updated: January 13, 2026)

1. Introduction

Welcome to EmbedCrest. We are committed to protecting the privacy of the developers and testers who use our platform. This statement describes how we handle "Personal Data", information that identifies you or can be linked to you, when you use our development and testing tools.

2. Personal Data We Collect

We collect data through three primary channels:

From You Directly:

  • Account Data: Handle, name, email address, and authentication credentials.
  • User Content: Code snippets, test scripts, documentation, and feedback submitted during your development workflow.
  • Payment Information: If you subscribe to premium features, we collect billing details through secure third-party processors.

Automatically:

  • Service Usage: IP addresses, device types, browser versions, and interaction logs (e.g., test execution times, API calls).
  • Essential Cookies: Technologies required to keep you logged in and remember your environment settings.

From Third Parties:

  • Linked Services: Information shared when you connect EmbedCrest to GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket (e.g., repository names and access tokens).

3. How We Use Your Data (Processing Purposes)

We process your data to provide a robust development environment:

  • Service Provision: Running your tests, managing your code deployments, and maintaining uptime.
  • Troubleshooting: Analyzing error logs to help you debug your applications.
  • Safety & Security: Detecting automated abuse and protecting the integrity of your private repositories.
  • Communication: Sending technical updates, security alerts, and administrative messages.

4. Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data. We only share information with:

  1. Service Providers: Subprocessors who provide hosting (e.g., AWS/Azure), analytics, and payment processing.
  2. Legal Requirements: If required by law to protect our rights or comply with a judicial proceeding.
  3. Collaborators: Other users you explicitly invite to your development projects or testing suites.

5. Your Rights & Choices

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

  • Access & Portability: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Correction: Update inaccurate account information.
  • Deletion: Request that we erase your personal data ("The Right to be Forgotten").
  • Withdraw Consent: Opt-out of non-essential cookies via your browser settings.

6. Security and Retention

We use industry-standard encryption (TLS) for data in transit and at rest. We retain your data only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our testing services.
