🛡️ Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to razi.pro ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website or services. By using razi.pro, you agree to this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect limited information to provide and improve our services:
- Google Account Data: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture (if available).
- Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our site. These tools may collect information such as pages visited, session duration, browser type, and general geographic region.
- Contact Information: If you contact us via email, we may store your message for support purposes.
- Newsletter: If you subscribe to The Builder's Brief, we store your email address, when you subscribed and confirmed, where on the site you signed up, and which stories you open from our emails (see section 7).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to:
- Authenticate users securely through Google Sign-In.
- Maintain and improve our website's performance and features.
- Analyze traffic and usage to enhance user experience.
- Communicate with you about your account or support requests.
4. How We Protect Your Data
We take reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Your Google account data is handled according to Google's OAuth 2.0 policies and never shared with third parties without your consent.
5. Google OAuth Data Access
razi.pro uses Google Sign-In (OAuth 2.0) for user authentication. We request only the minimum scopes necessary to operate the service:
- openid — Required to verify your identity via OpenID Connect. This establishes who you are without exposing unnecessary account data. It is the foundational scope for any Google Sign-In integration.
- email — Required to uniquely identify your account. Your email address serves as the primary account key in our database (Supabase), allows us to look up returning users, and enables us to contact you for account-related support if needed. We do not use your email for marketing.
- profile — Required to display your name and profile picture within the site (e.g., in the site header when you are signed in and on your profile page). We do not access any other profile fields.
We do not request access to your Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service beyond what is listed above. No Google user data is shared with third parties, sold, or used for advertising. Data obtained via Google OAuth is used solely to authenticate you and personalise your experience on razi.pro.
YouTube API Access (YouTube Studio Tool)
razi.pro includes a YouTube Studio tool that allows you to manage your YouTube channel. This feature requires additional Google OAuth scopes, which are only requested when you explicitly connect your YouTube account to the tool:
- youtube.readonly — Required to read your YouTube channel information, video metadata, and channel analytics. This allows the tool to display your videos, view counts, and channel statistics. We do not store or share this data beyond what is needed to display it to you within the tool.
- youtube.upload — Required to upload videos to your YouTube channel on your behalf. This scope is only used when you explicitly initiate an upload action within the YouTube Studio tool. We do not upload videos without your direct instruction.
- youtube.force-ssl — Required by Google for applications that perform write operations (such as video uploads) on the YouTube API. This scope enforces that all API communication uses HTTPS/SSL encryption. It does not grant access to any additional YouTube data beyond what the above scopes provide.
YouTube API data (channel info, video metadata) is used only to operate the YouTube Studio tool within razi.pro. It is not stored permanently, shared with third parties, or used for any purpose other than displaying and managing your YouTube content within the tool. This application's use of YouTube API Services is subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
Data retention: Your name, email address, and avatar URL are stored in our Supabase database for as long as your account exists. You may request permanent deletion at any time by emailing hi@razi.pro.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share information only:
- To comply with legal obligations.
- With the analytics providers listed in section 8, strictly to understand how the site is used and to find errors.
7. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar browser storage to keep you signed in and to measure how the site is used. Analytics records which pages you visit, what you click (for example links, downloads and buttons), how far you read, and errors you run into. It never records the text you type into a tool, the files you upload, or your email address.
Session replays are recorded with every piece of on-screen text and every form field masked, so they show layout and clicks but not content.
Newsletter emails: story links in The Builder's Brief pass through razi.pro on the way to the issue page, which lets us record which subscriber opened which story. That record is kept with your subscription and used only to learn which stories readers find useful; our analytics receive an anonymous count, never your email address. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
Opting out: if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we do not load PostHog capture, Microsoft Clarity or Google Analytics at all. You can also disable cookies through your browser settings.
8. Third-Party Services
Our site uses these analytics and monitoring services. Their data handling is governed by their own privacy policies:
- PostHog (product analytics, masked session replay, error tracking) — PostHog Privacy Policy
- Vercel Web Analytics (anonymous page views, no cookies) — Vercel Privacy Policy
- Google Analytics — Google Privacy Policy
- Microsoft Clarity — Microsoft Privacy Statement
- Resend (delivers newsletter emails) — Resend Privacy Policy
9. Your Rights
You may request deletion of your account or data by contacting us at hi@razi.pro.
10. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The latest version will always be available on razi.pro.
