Privacy Policy
Effective May 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how letthebotcook (letthebotcook.com) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website or use our service.
Information we collect
Account information. When you sign up, we collect your email address and a hashed password. We do not store your password in plaintext.
Payment information.We use Stripe to process payments. We do not store full credit card numbers or bank account details on our servers. Stripe provides us with a customer ID, the last four digits of your card, brand, and subscription status to manage your account. Stripe's privacy practices are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.
Usage information. We collect basic technical information automatically when you use the service: IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps, and aggregated analytics (such as page views and session length) for the purposes of improving the service and detecting abuse.
Cookies. We use first-party cookies that are strictly necessary for authentication (keeping you signed in) and for site functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
How we use information
- To authenticate your account and provide the service.
- To process payments and manage subscriptions.
- To send transactional emails (receipts, account notices, billing failures).
- To monitor system health, detect abuse, and improve the service.
- To comply with legal obligations.
Third-party processors
We share information with the following service providers strictly to operate the service:
- Stripe — payment processing and subscription management.
- Vercel — frontend hosting and content delivery.
- Cloudflare — DNS and DDoS protection.
- DigitalOcean — backend server hosting.
- Anthropic — large-language-model API used to generate desk commentary (no subscriber data is sent to the LLM; only aggregate market state).
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with advertisers.
Data retention
We retain account and payment-related data for as long as you have an active account and for a reasonable period afterwards as needed to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Aggregated, anonymized usage data may be retained longer for analytics purposes.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@letthebotcook.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
Children
The service is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including TLS for data in transit, hashed credentials at rest, and access controls on production systems. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the site or by email to your account address.
