Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

SignalBoard ("SignalBoard", "we", "us", or "our") is a tool that helps you track and visualize your activity ("signal") over time, including logs, streaks, and challenge progress.

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information about you when you use SignalBoard (the "Service"), including our website, app, and related features. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in three main ways:

2.1 Information you provide to us

• Account information: such as your name, username/handle, email address, password (stored in hashed form), country, and business or brand name.
• Profile details: such as profile logo URL, website URL, and any other information you choose to display on your profile or public page.
• Logs and activity: entries you create that describe your work, posts, content, or other actions you want to track, including links and descriptions.
• Communications: if you contact us directly (for example for support), we may store your messages and contact details.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you use the Service, some information is collected automatically, such as:

• Usage data: interactions with pages and features, log timestamps, challenge progress, and basic diagnostics (for example, errors).
• Device and technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and approximate location based on IP.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small data files used to keep you logged in, remember preferences, and understand how the Service is used.

2.3 Information from links and external content

When you log links to external content (for example, social posts, articles, or landing pages), we may store the URL and metadata you provide. We do not automatically scrape or control the external sites you link to.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To create and maintain your SignalBoard account and profile;
• To log, display, and calculate your activity, points, streaks, and stats;
• To power leaderboards, public profiles, and challenge summaries (where applicable);
• To operate, maintain, and improve the Service and user experience;
• To communicate with you, including service-related notices and, if enabled, updates or marketing messages;
• To monitor and protect the Service from abuse, fraud, or security threats;
• To generate aggregated, anonymized analytics about how SignalBoard is used.

4. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)

If you are in a region that requires a legal basis for processing (such as the European Economic Area or UK), we process your information based on:

• Performance of a contract (providing the Service you signed up for);
• Legitimate interests (for example, improving the Service, securing the platform);
• Your consent (for example, certain cookies or optional communications);
• Compliance with legal obligations, where required.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: with trusted third-party vendors who help us operate the Service (for example, hosting, analytics, or email providers), subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.
• Public content: information you choose to make public (for example, your public profile, username, avatar, and logged links that are part of a public challenge or leaderboard) may be visible to other users or the public.
• Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to continued protection.
• Legal requirements: when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of users or others.

6. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the Service is used. These may include:

• Strictly necessary cookies for authentication and security;
• Preference cookies to remember your settings (for example, dark mode);
• Basic analytics to understand usage and improve the product.

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect your ability to use parts of the Service.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as it is reasonably necessary to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

If you delete your account (when that feature is available) or request deletion, we will take steps to remove or anonymize your personal information, except where we are required or permitted to retain certain data (for example, for legal or security reasons, or aggregated analytics that do not identify you).

8. International Data Transfers

Depending on where you are located and where our infrastructure or service providers are based, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own.

Where required by law, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent measures.

9. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

• Access the information we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of your information, subject to legal limits;
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• Port certain data to another service, where technically feasible.

To exercise these rights, you can contact us using the details in the Contact section below. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

However, no online service can ever be 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your password and account credentials confidential, and for promptly notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.

11. Children's Privacy

SignalBoard is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable minimum age without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete it.

12. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and, if the changes are material, we may provide additional notice (for example, via email or an in-app banner).

Your continued use of the Service after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not agree, you should stop using the Service.
