Privacy Policy

Effective date: 10 May 2026

About this project. Recabulary (this website at recabulary.app) is a personal, non-commercial hobby project run by me, an individual, in my own time. It is not a business, company, or commercial product. I treat your data with the same care I would want for my own — but I am one person, and the operational guarantees I can give are correspondingly limited. This policy explains, plainly and honestly, what I collect, why, and what choices you have.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to recabulary.app and any associated backend services I operate ("Recabulary"). It does not apply to third-party services that you reach through links or that Recabulary relies on (see "Third-Party Processors" below) — those services have their own policies.

2. Who Is the Controller

For the purposes of data-protection laws that use the term, the controller of personal data processed in connection with Recabulary is me, the individual operator named in the contact section. I am acting in a personal capacity, not on behalf of any employer or organisation.

3. What I Collect

3.1 Information you provide through sign-in

Authentication is handled by Auth0. When you log in, Auth0 (and the upstream identity provider you choose, e.g. Google) returns to Recabulary the following profile information about you:

Auth0 itself collects and stores additional information directly under its own privacy policy; please see auth0.com/privacy.

3.2 Information you create while using Recabulary

As you use the app, the following data is created and stored against your account in the Recabulary backend:

3.3 Technical and log information

The hosting and edge providers I use (Microsoft Azure Static Web Apps for the website, Azure cloud functions and Cosmos database for the backend) automatically log standard request information when you use the site. This typically includes IP address, user-agent string, request paths, response status, and timestamps. I use these logs only to operate, secure, and debug the service.

3.4 Local storage in your browser

Recabulary stores small pieces of data in your browser's local storage:

I do not currently use cookies or local storage for analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking.

4. What I Do Not Collect or Do

5. Why I Process Your Data

PurposeLegal basis (where GDPR / similar applies)
Letting you sign in and recognising your account on return visitsPerformance of your request to use the service / legitimate interest in operating it
Storing the words, bookmarks, and starter-pack data so you can recall them laterPerformance of your request to use the service
Keeping the site available, secure, and free of abuse (server logs)Legitimate interest in operating a working, reasonably secure service
Responding to questions or data-rights requests you send meLegitimate interest / legal obligation

6. Third-Party Processors

I rely on the following third-party services to operate Recabulary. Each receives only the data it needs and is bound by its own privacy terms:

These providers operate in a number of countries. By using Recabulary, you understand that your data may be processed and stored in jurisdictions outside your own, including the United States, the European Economic Area, India, and other regions where the providers operate.

7. How Long I Keep Data

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

To make any of these requests, email me at the address below. I'll respond within a reasonable time and free of charge for normal requests. I may need to verify your identity before acting (typically by confirming you can access the email address linked to your account).

9. Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your data — authentication is delegated to Auth0, traffic uses HTTPS, and the backend is reachable only with a valid token. However, no internet service is fully secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security. If I become aware of a breach affecting your data, I will take reasonable steps to address it and inform affected users where the law or the circumstances require.

10. Children

Recabulary is not directed at children under 13 (or the local minimum digital-consent age, whichever is higher). If you believe a child has provided personal data through Recabulary, please contact me and I will delete it.

11. Cookies

Recabulary itself does not set cookies for advertising, analytics, or tracking. The Auth0 SDK and the upstream identity provider you choose may set cookies as part of the sign-in process; these are necessary for authentication. The hosting providers may set technical cookies for load balancing or security.

12. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective date" at the top of this page reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be reflected here; please check this page when you return.

Thank you for trusting a small project with your data. I'll try to keep that trust well placed.
