Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to Shuobu ("we," "our," or "us"). We deeply value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. As the data controller, we process your information in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR (if you are in the European Economic Area) and other relevant regulations.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, tools, prompt library, or related services (collectively, the "Service"), how we use it, with whom we may share it, and what rights you have over your data.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Automatically Collected Log Data

When you visit our Service, our infrastructure providers (such as Cloudflare and Vercel) automatically collect standard technical log data to ensure security, performance, and reliability. This may include:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type, version, and language settings
  • Device information (e.g., operating system, screen resolution, device model)
  • Pages viewed and navigation paths
  • Date and time of access
  • Referring URL (the site you came from)
  • Time spent on each page
  • Approximate geographic location (derived from IP)

This data is typically non-identifiable on its own and is used primarily for operational and analytical purposes.

2.2 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and other tracking technologies to enhance your experience. These help us:

  • Remember your preferences (e.g., language, theme)
  • Improve site speed and responsiveness
  • Understand usage patterns to optimize features
  • Prevent abuse and detect security threats

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may limit functionality (e.g., saving preferences or staying logged in).

2.3 Voluntarily Provided Information

If you choose to interact with us—such as contacting support, subscribing to updates, or submitting prompts—you may provide:

  • Your email address
  • Messages or feedback
  • User-generated content (e.g., custom prompts, tags, descriptions)

We only collect this information when you explicitly and voluntarily submit it. You are never required to provide personal data to browse public content.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process your data only for legitimate purposes, including:

  • Operating, maintaining, and securing the Service
  • Personalizing your experience (e.g., remembering your UI preferences)
  • Analyzing trends to improve performance and usability
  • Responding to your inquiries or support requests
  • Preventing fraud, spam, and malicious activity
  • Complying with legal obligations

We do not sell your data.

We do not use your data for behavioral advertising or third-party ad profiling.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

To deliver and improve our Service, we partner with trusted third parties who may process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements. These include:

  • Cloudflare: For DDoS protection, CDN, and bot mitigation
  • Vercel: For hosting, edge functions, and basic analytics
  • Google Analytics (optional): For aggregated, anonymized traffic insights (only if you consent via our cookie banner)

These providers act as data processors and are prohibited from using your data for their own purposes. Their own privacy policies apply to their broader services.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS 1.3), secure access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no internet-based system can be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security against sophisticated attacks or human error.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law (e.g., for tax or legal compliance).

Log data is typically retained for up to 30 days, after which it is either deleted or anonymized.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will promptly delete it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., EU, UK, California, or other regions with strong privacy laws), you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal exceptions)
  • Restrict or object to certain types of processing
  • Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
  • Opt out of analytics tracking via cookie settings
  • Receive your data in a portable format (data portability)

To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@shuobu.ai. We respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or Service features. The revised policy will be posted here with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

10. Relationship to Terms of Service

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict between the two documents, the Terms of Service shall prevail for matters of service usage, while this Privacy Policy governs data handling.
