1. Introduction

Scrynum ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at scrynum.com and its associated API services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our services.

We follow a privacy-by-design approach. We collect only the data necessary to operate our service and do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and optionally your company name. This information is required to provide you with access to the service.

Usage Data

We collect information about your API requests and search queries solely for service operation, including enforcing rate limits, monitoring for abuse, and improving the service.

Payment Information

We accept cryptocurrency payments only. We store transaction IDs associated with your account for record-keeping. We do not collect or store credit card numbers or bank account details.

Server Logs

Our servers automatically record standard log information, including your IP address, user agent string, referring URL, and timestamps. This data is collected as part of normal web server operation.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the service
• Process payments and manage your subscription
• Send service-related communications (e.g., account verification, security alerts, usage notifications)
• Enforce our terms of service and prevent abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to operating the service.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use only strictly necessary mechanisms for authentication. Our application stores authentication tokens in your browser's localStorage. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party analytics services.

Specifically, we do not use:

• Google Analytics or any analytics tracking
• Advertising pixels or retargeting tags
• Third-party tracking cookies
• Fingerprinting or cross-site tracking technologies

Because we do not use tracking cookies, no cookie consent banner is required.

5. Third-Party Services

We use a minimal number of third-party services:

• Google Fonts— loaded for typography. Google may collect your IP address when fonts are served. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Cryptocurrency payment processors— to facilitate payments. These processors operate under their own privacy policies.

We do not integrate any advertising networks, social media trackers, or data brokers.

6. Data Retention

• Account data is retained for as long as your account remains active.
• Server logs are retained for 30 days and then automatically deleted.
• Payment records are retained as required by applicable tax and financial regulations.

You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit (TLS), secure storage practices, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
