1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use MarkdownPlane.

Summary: We collect minimal data. Your files are yours. We don't sell anything.

If you claim a workspace (optional):

  • Email address (for authentication and workspace recovery)

Automatically collected:

  • Basic request logs (IP addresses, timestamps, endpoints) for rate limiting and abuse prevention
  • Error logs for debugging

What we do NOT collect:

  • Analytics or tracking cookies
  • Advertising data
  • Detailed behavioral profiles

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Service Provision: Authenticating claimed workspaces via OAuth
  • Rate Limiting: Preventing abuse
  • Debugging: Investigating errors when something breaks
  • Security: Detecting unauthorized access attempts

We do not sell, trade, or rent your information.

4. Data Storage

  • Files stored on our infrastructure
  • Retained until you delete them (or workspace expires)

7. Security

We implement reasonable security measures:

  • HTTPS for all connections
  • Capability URLs as access control
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse
