1. Overview

SaveEditor ("we", "us", "our") operates the SaveEditor website (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.

The core principle: your files are never permanently stored. Files are uploaded to our server for parsing only, processed in ephemeral server storage, and automatically deleted within 30 minutes. We do not permanently store, read, or retain the contents of your save files.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

Account Data: If you create an account (optional), we collect your email address and display name via third-party authentication providers (Google, GitHub, etc.).
Payment Data: If you subscribe to Pro, payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your credit card number.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

IP Address: Used solely for rate limiting (tracking daily upload count). IP addresses are stored in memory only and automatically purged every 24 hours. They are never written to disk or shared.
Usage Analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics (e.g., page views, feature usage) to improve the service. No personal identifiers are tracked.
Cookies: We use essential cookies for session management and theme preference. See our Cookie Policy for details.

2.3 Save Files

Save files you upload are processed in ephemeral server storage for format detection and parsing. Files are automatically deleted within 30 minutes or when the server restarts — whichever comes first. We log file metadata (filename, format detected, file size, and your IP address) for rate limiting and abuse prevention, but we do not read, analyze, log, or retain the actual contents of your files beyond what is necessary to parse and return them to you.

3. How We Use Your Information

To provide and maintain the Service
To enforce rate limits and prevent abuse
To process payments (via Stripe)
To improve the Service based on aggregated, anonymous usage patterns

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
