Privacy Policy

UseCaseVault is a public AI workflow directory and news product. This Privacy Policy explains the information we collect when you read workflows, sign in, vote, submit a use case, or contact us about sponsorship, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate the product, protect the community, and improve discovery:

• Account data: basic Google sign-in details such as name, email address, avatar, and authentication identifiers.
• Profile and attribution data: display name and social handle when you add them to your profile. Workflow submissions can be public, named, or anonymous.
• Community activity: submitted workflows, votes, verification status, saved preferences, and anti-spam signals.
• Usage data: pages viewed, device/browser information, approximate location derived from network data, performance metrics, and analytics events.
• Advertiser inquiries: information you submit through our sponsorship form, including company, contact details, campaign goals, and links.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like local storage) to provide and secure our services, understand how our website is used, and improve your experience. These technologies help us remember your preferences, keep you signed in, and analyze aggregate traffic. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.

3. Use of Your Information

We use this information to:

• Create and manage your account and session.
• Publish, rank, search, moderate, and verify workflow submissions.
• Show attribution according to the visibility setting you choose for each workflow.
• Prevent spam, abuse, self-voting, and misleading submissions.
• Analyze aggregate traffic, performance, and product usage.
• Respond to support, privacy, and sponsorship inquiries.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited information in these situations:

• Public workflow pages: submitted workflow content is public when published. Attribution is shown based on the visibility option selected for that workflow.
• Service providers: we use providers for authentication (e.g., Google OAuth), database hosting, analytics, performance monitoring, and sponsorship intake. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection obligations.
• Legal and safety needs: we may disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information, please contact us. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (such as under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data (the "right to be forgotten").
• Right to Restrict Processing: Request that we limit the processing of your data.
• Right to Data Portability: Request to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.

7. Data Security and International Transfers

We use authentication controls, database access policies, security headers, and provider-level protections to reduce risk. However, no internet service can guarantee perfect security. Additionally, your information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ. By using our service, you consent to these transfers.

8. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to other websites and AI tools. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete this from our servers.

10. Changes to This Privacy 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. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
