Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Saytrace collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you visit the website, create an account, subscribe, configure alerts, submit sources, submit corrections, submit rights requests, or otherwise interact with the service.

Saytrace is designed around public-source editorial research. The service does not require users to provide sensitive personal information to browse public pages.

Account information may include name, email address, password credentials stored in protected form, language preference, authentication tokens, subscription status, billing identifiers, and alert preferences.

Submission information may include source URLs, correction details, rights-request details, claimant names, contact email addresses, evidence URLs, and messages you provide.

Usage and device information may include IP address, browser and device data, approximate location derived from network data, pages viewed, referring pages, search queries, saved items, followed entities, alert interactions, diagnostics, and security logs.

Saytrace uses information to provide the service, authenticate users, operate subscriptions, deliver alerts, process source submissions, review correction and rights requests, prevent abuse, monitor reliability, improve product quality, and comply with legal obligations.

Usage data may be used to understand aggregate product performance and content interest. Saytrace does not present user behavior as public editorial evidence.

Saytrace may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for sessions, authentication, preferences, theme settings, security, analytics, and product measurement.

Analytics tools may receive page, device, referral, and interaction data. Where supported, Saytrace will respect legally required consent, opt-out, or browser-control signals.

Saytrace may share information with service providers that help operate the product, including hosting, databases, email delivery, analytics, payment processing, security, support, and infrastructure providers.

Saytrace may disclose information if required by law, legal process, safety obligations, rights enforcement, merger or asset-transfer activity, or to protect Saytrace, users, sources, or the public.

Saytrace does not sell personal information for money. If future advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising features create opt-out rights, Saytrace will provide the required controls.

Saytrace keeps personal information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain accounts, resolve disputes, enforce terms, satisfy audit requirements, process corrections and rights requests, prevent abuse, and comply with law.

Correction and rights-request records may be retained even after a public page changes because they support auditability, legal compliance, and editorial accountability.

You may update account settings, unsubscribe from emails, disable alerts, or submit requests about access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, objection, or opt-out rights where those rights apply.

California residents and users in other jurisdictions may have additional privacy rights, including rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of certain sharing, limit certain sensitive-information uses, and receive non-discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights.

Saytrace uses administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information, including access controls, hashed refresh tokens, secret redaction, logging controls, and operational monitoring.

No internet service is perfectly secure. Users should choose strong passwords, protect account credentials, and report suspected security issues promptly.

Saytrace is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact [email protected].

Saytrace may process information in the United States and other countries where service providers operate. Privacy protections may differ from those in your location.

Privacy questions and requests can be sent to [email protected]. Rights requests involving public content can also be submitted through the rights request form linked from the site footer.
