Effective Date: May 30, 2026 · Last Revised: May 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal data when you visit or use pyencoder.com and any related services, applications, downloads, or pages operated under that domain (collectively, the "Services").
The Services are operated by PyEncoder, a Wyoming limited liability company ("Operator," "we," "us," or "our"). The Operator is the data controller for personal information collected through the Services. For privacy questions, contact privacy@pyencoder.com.
We collect the categories of personal information described in this section. We collect only what we need to operate, secure, and improve the Services.
If you sign in or interact through a third party (e.g., Google OAuth, GitHub, Stripe, an email-delivery provider), that party may share with us limited account-identifier information that we use solely to operate the Services.
We share personal information only as described below, and never sell personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration.
| Recipient | Purpose | What is shared |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting & infrastructure providers | Operate and secure the Services | All data necessary to serve requests |
| Email-delivery providers | Send transactional and consented emails | Email address, subject, body |
| SMS messaging providers (e.g., Twilio, TCR-registered aggregator) | Send opt-in text messages | Phone number, message content — not shared for any marketing or resale purpose |
| Payment processors (e.g., Stripe) | Process payments | Card / bank details collected directly by processor; we receive only a token and last-four digits |
| Analytics providers | Aggregate usage insight | Anonymized or pseudonymized usage events |
| Legal authorities | Comply with valid legal process | Only what the law requires |
| Acquirer in a corporate transaction | Business continuity in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale | Subject to written commitments to honor this Privacy Policy |
All third-party providers above are bound by written agreements that require them to use personal data only as needed to provide their service to us and to maintain confidentiality and security commensurate with this Policy.
Phone numbers and SMS opt-in data are never sold, rented, leased, shared, or otherwise disclosed to any third party for any purpose, including marketing. SMS opt-in data is shared only with the specific messaging provider strictly as required to deliver the messages you requested, in compliance with TCR / 10DLC Error 9108 industry standards. This commitment survives any change in ownership of the Operator.
You can revoke SMS consent at any time by replying STOP to any message or by emailing privacy@pyencoder.com. See Section 7 of the Terms of Service for the full SMS program description.
We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies:
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies on the Services. We honor the "Global Privacy Control" (GPC) browser signal where technically feasible.
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy. Typical retention windows:
You may request earlier deletion at any time — see Section 11.
We protect personal data with industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest for sensitive fields, hashed passwords, role-based access controls, and routine security review. No system is perfectly secure. In the unlikely event of a breach involving your personal data, we will notify you and the appropriate regulators within the timeframes required by applicable law (in many cases, no later than 72 hours after discovery).
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact privacy@pyencoder.com and we will promptly delete it. This complies with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") and California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA") give you these rights:
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@pyencoder.com with the subject line "CCPA REQUEST — pyencoder.com". We will verify your request and respond within 45 days.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the UK GDPR:
Our legal bases for processing are: (a) performance of a contract with you, (b) compliance with a legal obligation, (c) your consent (which you may withdraw at any time), and (d) our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services. To exercise GDPR rights, email privacy@pyencoder.com.
The Operator is located in the United States and our servers and most service providers are located in the United States. By using the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your personal data will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your country. Where required, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms approved by the European Commission or the UK Information Commissioner's Office.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced via a site banner and, where we have your email, by direct notice at least 30 days before the change takes effect (except where a shorter notice is required by law). The "Last Revised" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
