Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026  ·  Effective immediately upon account creation

The short version: We collect only what we need to provide the Service. We do not sell your data. Your product page content is processed by AI to generate analysis results and is not used to train AI models. You can request deletion of your data at any time.

1. Who We Are

humarains is an AI-powered product page conversion optimisation platform operated by Ekambaram Saraswathi as a private individual ("we", "us", or "our"). As an individual operator, I am the data controller responsible for your personal data under applicable data protection law, including Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other applicable jurisdictional laws.

Location: Singapore
Operating as: Sole proprietor (not a registered company)
Email: hello@humarains.com

For privacy enquiries or to exercise your data rights, contact me at hello@humarains.com.

2. Information We Collect

Account information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and (if using email/password login) a bcrypt-hashed version of your password. We never store your password in plain text.

Google OAuth: If you sign in with Google, we receive your Google profile ID, name, email, and profile photo URL from Google. We do not access your Gmail, contacts, or other Google data.

Product page content: URLs and manual product page text (title, description, price, CTA) that you submit for analysis. This content is sent to our AI API to generate your analysis.

Analysis results: Scores, recommendations, and copy rewrites generated for your submissions are stored in our database so you can access them later.

Billing information: Payment is processed by Stripe. We store only your Stripe customer ID and subscription status. We never see or store your full card number.

Shopify data (Max plan): If you connect Shopify, we store your shop domain and access token to enable product reads and writes on your behalf.

Usage data: Number of analyses run, plan type, and timestamps. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.

Server logs: Standard HTTP request logs (IP address, URL, status code, timestamp) retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information & Lawful Basis (GDPR Art. 6)

4. Data Sharing & Sub-processors

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes. We share data only with the following sub-processors, each bound by a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) under GDPR Article 28:

  • Anthropic: Product page content you submit is sent to our AI API for analysis. Anthropic does not use API inputs to train their models per their usage policies. DPA: Anthropic Privacy Policy.
  • Stripe: Your email and subscription status are shared with Stripe to process payments. DPA: Stripe Privacy Policy.
  • Supabase: Our database provider. Your data is stored in a Supabase-managed PostgreSQL instance with encryption at rest and in transit. DPA: Supabase Privacy Policy.
  • Render: Our hosting provider. Your application data is processed on Render's servers. DPA: Render Privacy Policy.
  • Law enforcement: If required by applicable law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of users.

A full list of sub-processors is available on request by emailing hello@humarains.com.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data and analyses for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your data is removed from our primary database within 30 days. Backups may retain data for up to 90 days before expiry.

Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Billing records may be retained for up to 7 years to comply with financial record-keeping obligations.

6. Cookies & Session Storage

We use the following first-party cookies only. All fonts are self-hosted — we do not load resources from Google Fonts CDN or any third-party CDN that may set cookies.

  • bp_token (httpOnly, secure): Your JWT authentication token. Required for login. Expires after 24 hours. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (strictly necessary).
  • bp_csrf (non-httpOnly): A CSRF protection token read by our frontend to verify form submissions. Expires after 24 hours. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (strictly necessary).
  • connect.sid: A session cookie used for Google OAuth flow. Expires when the browser closes or after 24 hours. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (strictly necessary).
  • humarains_cookie_consent: Records your cookie consent choice. Expires after 365 days.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics cookies.

Where we rely on your consent for optional cookies, you may withdraw consent at any time by clicking the cookie preferences link in the page footer or emailing hello@humarains.com. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

7. Security

We take security seriously:

  • Passwords are hashed with bcrypt (12 rounds) — never stored in plain text
  • All connections are encrypted via TLS/HTTPS
  • Database connections use SSL
  • Authentication tokens are stored in httpOnly cookies to prevent XSS theft
  • CSRF protection on all state-changing API requests
  • Rate limiting on authentication and analysis endpoints

No security measure is perfect. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to hello@humarains.com.

Singapore residents: Under Singapore's PDPA, transfers of personal data to foreign countries are permitted provided appropriate safeguards are in place. I have ensured all sub-processors maintain security standards equivalent to Singapore's PDPA requirements.

EU/EEA and UK residents: Your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. These transfers are made in compliance with applicable law using the following safeguards:

  • EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Transfers to Supabase, Anthropic, and Render are covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Commission Decision 2021/914/EU). I have executed or rely on applicable SCCs with each sub-processor.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice in the dashboard. Continued use of the Service after notice constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

  • read_products: To read your product titles, descriptions, prices, images, and metadata for analysis.
  • write_products: To push AI-generated copy rewrites back to your Shopify product listings at your explicit request.

We store only your Shopify shop domain and OAuth access token, encrypted at rest. We do not access orders, customers, payments, or any data beyond the scopes listed above. You may revoke our access at any time from your Shopify Admin under Apps > Manage private apps, or from your humarains dashboard under Settings > Integrations. Upon disconnection, your access token is deleted from our database within 24 hours.

15. Sole Proprietor Liability & Personal Responsibility

humarains is operated by an individual sole proprietor, not a registered company or corporate entity. As the operator, I assume full personal liability for compliance with all applicable laws, including data protection, consumer protection, tax, and regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where the Service is offered.

In the event of breach or liability, claimants should direct claims to the operator at hello@humarains.com. There is no separate corporate shield or limited liability company structure.

Users acknowledge this structure and agree that the Service is provided on an individual basis by a sole proprietor in Singapore.
