  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, access times, pages viewed

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe) to complete transactions securely
  • Service providers who assist with email delivery, hosting, and analytics
  • Law enforcement or government authorities when required by law or to protect our rights

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • All data is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS/SSL)
  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plain text
  • Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. Transaction records are kept for a minimum of 3 years for legal and regulatory compliance. You may request account deletion by contacting our support team.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain data processing activities
  • Receive a copy of your data in a portable format

8. Cookies & Tracking

We use a small number of cookies and similar local-storage techniques. They fall into two categories: strictly necessary cookies that the site cannot function without, and analytics that only run with your consent.

Strictly necessary (no consent required)

  • hipzap_session — HttpOnly authentication cookie. Identifies your signed-in session.
  • hipzap_auth — Companion presence-hint cookie so the UI can show signed-in state without exposing the session token to JavaScript.
  • hipzap_beta_invite — Beta-stage access gate. Will be removed once the public launch completes.

Analytics (only after you accept)

  • Cloudflare Web Analytics — anonymous pageview counts. No cross-site tracking, no third-party advertising identifiers.
  • First-party event ingestion to /api/analytics/events — purchase / browse signals that help us improve product surfacing. No PII transmitted.

You can change your choice anytime via the "Cookie Preferences" link in the site footer, or by clearing site data in your browser.
