Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
ProFeed ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our service.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us:
- Account information: Email address, name, and password when you create an account
- Content: Voice notes, text entries, and any content you create within ProFeed
- Generated content: LinkedIn posts and drafts created by our AI from your entries
- Payment information: Processed securely by Stripe; we don't store card details
- Usage data: How you interact with the service, features used, and preferences
- Device information: Browser type, operating system, and IP address for security
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide the ProFeed service and transform your notes into LinkedIn content
- Process your voice notes and text through AI to generate draft posts
- Send you service-related communications (account updates, security alerts)
- Improve and develop new features based on usage patterns
- Process payments and manage your subscription

3. AI Processing
This is important: ProFeed uses artificial intelligence to transform your notes into LinkedIn content.
- Your voice notes and text entries are sent to AI providers (Anthropic and/or OpenAI) for processing
- We use these services solely to generate content based on your inputs
- Your content is NOT used to train AI models — neither by us nor our AI providers
- AI-generated content may not be perfect; you are responsible for reviewing and editing before posting
- You can delete your entries at any time, which removes them from our systems
4. Data Sharing
We share your data only with trusted service providers who help us operate:
- Vercel: Hosting and infrastructure
- Anthropic and OpenAI: AI processing for content generation
- Stripe: Payment processing
- Analytics providers: To understand usage (anonymised where possible)
- We do not sell your personal data to third parties
- We may disclose data if required by law or to protect our legal rights
5. Data Retention
We keep your data only as long as necessary:
- Account data: Retained while your account is active
- Content: Retained until you delete it or close your account
- Payment records: Retained as required for tax and legal purposes
- You can request deletion of your account and data at any time
- Upon deletion request, we remove your data within 30 days (except where legally required to retain)
6. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR and data protection laws, you have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of your personal data
- Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Deletion: Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")

7. Security
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data:
- Encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest
- Secure authentication and access controls
- Regular security reviews and updates
- However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure
- We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data
9. Children's Privacy
ProFeed is not intended for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us immediately.
10. International Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the UK/EEA, including the United States (where our AI providers are located). We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, including standard contractual clauses.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through the service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
