Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1/20/2026

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

AI App Start provides starter kits and tools for developers who build with AI assistants. We protect your information so you can focus on building great products. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

Account Information

  • Email address, name, and login credentials
  • Payment information (processed securely via Stripe)
  • Communication preferences

Purchase & Usage Data

  • Starter kits you purchase or download
  • Pages you visit and features you use on our website
  • Feedback and support requests

Technical Information

  • Device type, browser, and general location (city-level)
  • Usage analytics to improve performance and user experience
  • Error logs and crash diagnostics

Important: We do NOT collect code you write, AI prompts you use, or any content from your development projects. The starter kits run on your local machine—we have no access to your work.

How We Use Your Information

  • Deliver your purchase: Send download links, license keys, and access to purchased starter kits
  • Improve our products: Understand which kits are popular and what features developers need
  • Support and security: Troubleshoot issues, prevent fraud, and secure your account
  • Communication: Send product updates, new kit releases, and optional newsletters (you can opt out anytime)
  • Legal compliance: Maintain records for tax and legal requirements

Data Protection and Security

Your data is yours. We apply industry-standard safeguards and limit access to authorized staff only.

  • Encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest where applicable
  • Secure payment processing via Stripe (we never store full credit card details)
  • Role-based access controls and audit logging
  • Regular security reviews and monitoring
  • Backups and disaster recovery procedures

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only when necessary:

  • Service providers: Vendors who help us run the platform (hosting, email, payments) under strict confidentiality
  • Legal requirements: When required to comply with law, court orders, or to protect safety
  • Business changes: If ownership changes, data remains protected under this policy or you will be notified
  • With your consent: When you explicitly ask us to share information

Your Privacy Rights

You can:

  • Access: Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion: Ask us to delete your account or stored data
  • Portability: Request export of your data in a portable format
  • Objection: Opt out of marketing emails and non-essential communications
  • Download history: Access list of kits you've purchased

To exercise these rights, email [email protected].

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site functional and improve your experience:

  • Essential: Required for login, shopping cart, and security
  • Analytics: Measure feature usage, popular kits, and site performance (via privacy-focused tools)
  • Preferences: Remember your settings and choices

You can adjust cookie settings in your browser. Some features may not work without essential cookies.

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for service delivery, support, and legal obligations:

  • Account data: Kept while your account is active or until you request deletion
  • Purchase records: Retained for tax/legal compliance (typically 7 years)
  • Analytics: Aggregated and anonymized when possible
  • Support tickets: Kept for reference but can be deleted upon request

Children's Privacy

AI App Start is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own (e.g., cloud servers in the US or EU). We use safeguards like standard contractual clauses to protect data consistent with this policy.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services:

  • Stripe: Payment processing (see Stripe's privacy policy)
  • Email providers: Transactional and marketing emails
  • Hosting: Cloud infrastructure for our website
  • Analytics: Privacy-focused analytics to understand usage

These services have their own privacy policies. We choose vendors that respect user privacy.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy as our services evolve. Material changes will be announced via email or website notification with the effective date clearly stated. Continued use after updates means you accept the new policy.
