Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy describes how AiBait (“we,” “us”) collects, uses, and shares personal information when you use https://ai-bait.com and related services (the “Service”).

2. Information we collect

• Account data: name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash).
• Business listing content: information you enter to be published on public pages (for example business name, description, contact details, service area). This may appear on the open web when you publish a listing.
• Payment data: processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers on our servers; Stripe handles payment instruments according to its policies.
• Technical data: server logs may include IP address, user agent, timestamps, and URLs requested, used for security, debugging, and operations.
• Cookies / sessions: we use session cookies (or similar) to keep you logged in.

3. How we use information

We use personal information to provide and improve the Service, authenticate users, process subscriptions through Stripe, communicate about your account or the Service, comply with law, and protect against abuse and fraud.

4. Legal bases (where applicable)

If laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on bases including: performance of a contract, legitimate interests (security, product improvement, fraud prevention), consent where required, and legal obligation.

5. Sharing

We share information with Stripe for payments and billing, and with infrastructure providers that host or operate the Service (for example hosting, email if enabled). We may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the Service.

We do not sell your personal information as “sale” is commonly understood for state privacy laws; we do not use personal data for third-party targeted advertising sales.

6. Retention

We retain account and listing data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for backups, legal compliance, and dispute resolution, unless deletion is required sooner by law.

7. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

8. Your choices & rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Contact us to exercise applicable rights. You may also adjust cookie/session behavior through your browser (note: disabling cookies may break login).

9. International transfers

If you access the Service from outside the country where servers are located, your information may be processed in other countries with different data protection laws. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards.

10. Children

The Service is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated as described in our Terms.
