Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Method'IA is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described here. If you disagree, please do not use Method'IA.

2. Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you choose to provide it, your name. If you sign in through a third-party provider such as Google or GitHub, we also receive the basic profile information those services share with us, along with your account preferences and settings.

Usage data

We automatically collect certain technical data when you use the Service: your IP address and approximate location, browser type and version, device information, pages visited, features used, timestamps, and aggregate statistics about how you interact with our analysis tools.

Uploaded documents

When you submit a document for analysis, it is processed by our AI systems in order to extract text and generate the report. Documents are held in memory only for the duration of the analysis session and are not stored on our servers, unless you explicitly choose to save the results. We do not share uploaded documents with third parties beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the analysis.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve the Service, manage your account, authenticate your identity, communicate important updates, analyze usage patterns, detect and address security issues, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

4. AI processing and third-party services

Analyzing a document involves sending its text content to third-party AI providers for processing. We also rely on external services for authentication, database operations, and payment processing.

Each of these providers operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their terms if you would like more detail about how they handle data.

5. Data retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account exists. Usage data may be kept for analytics purposes for up to 24 months. Uploaded documents are not stored permanently — they are processed in memory and discarded once the analysis is complete. Analysis results are stored only if you explicitly save them.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption of data in transit via HTTPS/TLS, secure authentication mechanisms, regular security assessments, and internal access controls. That said, no system is entirely immune to risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your authentication session, remember your preferences (such as your theme), and understand how the Service is used. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, although disabling them may affect certain features.

9. Age restriction

Method'IA is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe such information has been collected, please contact us immediately.

10. International transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence. Where this occurs, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
