Information We Collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed (encrypted) version of your password. We never store your password in plain text.
Session data
We use server-side sessions to keep you logged in. A session cookie is stored in your browser that references your session on our server. No personally identifiable information is stored in the cookie itself.
Payment information
Subscription payments are processed by Whop. We do not collect or store credit card numbers or payment details — those are handled entirely by Whop's secure payment infrastructure. We only store a record of whether your subscription is active.
Usage data
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymized data about how visitors use the site — pages visited, time on site, general location (country/region), and device type. This data does not identify you personally.
