1. Introduction
VibeGuard ("we", "us", or "our") operates the VibeGuard code quality scanner at vibeg.io and vibeguard-sable.vercel.app ("Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Code Submitted for Analysis
When you use the scanner, the code you submit is sent to our servers for analysis. On the Free tier, scan results are stored only in your browser's localStorage and are not retained on our servers beyond the processing of the request.
On Pro and Team tiers, scan results (but not the raw code) may be stored encrypted on our servers to power your scan history and team features.
We never use your code to train AI models.
2.2 Account Information
If you create an account, we collect your email address and any profile information you provide. We may use this to send transactional emails, product updates, and billing notifications.
2.3 Usage Data
We may collect anonymised usage data such as pages visited, features used, scan language, and error rates. This helps us improve the Service. We do not sell this data to third parties.
2.4 Cookies & Local Storage
We use browser localStorage to persist scan results and user preferences on the Free tier. We may use cookies for session management on authenticated tiers. You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and improve the code scanning Service
- To process and complete your scan requests
- To send you transactional emails (receipts, account alerts)
- To respond to support requests
- To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
- To comply with legal obligations
We will not send you marketing emails without your consent. If you joined our waitlist, you consented to product update emails and may unsubscribe at any time.
4. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored on servers in the European Union and/or the United States. We employ industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to operate the Service, including:
- Anthropic — AI analysis provider. Code is transmitted to Anthropic's API for analysis. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
- Vercel — Hosting and infrastructure.
- Stripe — Payment processing on paid tiers (does not receive code data).
6. Data Retention
Free tier: Scan results exist only in your browser until you clear them. We retain server-side processing logs for up to 30 days for debugging and security purposes.
Pro/Team tiers: Scan metadata is retained for the duration of your subscription plus 90 days after cancellation, after which it is deleted.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
- Object to or restrict processing
