Privacy Policy — Compeddit

Compeddit ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Compeddit Reddit competitor monitoring service, delivered via a Telegram bot (@reddalert101_bot) and a web dashboard. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum data needed to operate the service:

Telegram user ID and username — collected when you start the bot, used to deliver alerts to your account.
Competitor keywords — the names or terms you add via /monitor, stored so we know what to scan for.
Email address — collected by Gumroad at purchase, used solely to deliver your license key. We do not store payment details.
Usage data — command history (e.g., /test, /status) stored temporarily to enforce free-tier limits and troubleshoot issues.

2. How We Use Your Information

To scan Reddit for mentions of your competitor keywords and send you Telegram alerts.
To validate your license key and enforce plan limits (free vs. Pro vs. Lifetime).
To improve reliability and debug service issues.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in Cloudflare KV — a globally distributed key-value store with encryption at rest. Competitor keywords and Telegram IDs are stored only as long as you have an active subscription or free-tier account. Deleting your data is possible at any time by sending /delete to the bot.

4. Third-Party Services

Telegram — message delivery. Subject to Telegram's Privacy Policy.
Gumroad — payment processing. Subject to Gumroad's Privacy Policy.
Reddit (via Arctic Shift / PullPush) — publicly available Reddit posts. No personal Reddit data is collected or stored.
Groq AI — used to classify Reddit post intent. Only post text is sent — never your personal data.

5. Cookies & Tracking

The Compeddit landing page and dashboard do not use advertising cookies or third-party trackers. We may use minimal session cookies strictly for dashboard authentication.

6. Data Retention

Free-tier data is retained for 30 days of inactivity, after which it is automatically purged. Active subscriber data is retained for the duration of your subscription plus 30 days after cancellation.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data at any time. To exercise these rights, send /delete in the Telegram bot, or contact us at support@compeddit.com.

8. Children's Privacy

Compeddit is not directed at anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll notify active users via the Telegram bot when material changes occur. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
