Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 30, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Akkru Inc. ("we", "us") collects, uses, retains, and shares personal information when you use AkkruData (the "Service"). We keep what we collect to the minimum needed to operate the Service, and we do not sell personal information.
Information we collect
- Account information you provide: email address, password (stored only as a salted hash), and any profile data you supply.
- Sign-in metadata from OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) if you choose them: the provider's user ID and your verified email. We never receive your provider password.
- API and tool usage logs: which endpoint or MCP tool was called, the channel (API key, MCP, or web app), the API key name used (never the key value), credits charged, and a UTC timestamp. These rows are retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted.
- Payment information when you purchase a plan or credit pack: handled by Stripe, Inc. as our payment processor. We receive a customer ID and the metadata needed to reconcile a transaction; full card numbers are never sent to us.
- Technical metadata necessary to operate the Service: IP address (used to rate-limit, prevent abuse, and detect suspicious activity), browser user-agent, and request timestamps. IP addresses are not used for profiling or advertising.
- Authentication cookies (HTTP-only, SameSite=Lax) so you stay signed in. We do not set tracking cookies, and we do not embed third-party analytics, advertising, or session-replay scripts in the Service.
How we use it
We use this information to operate, authenticate, secure, bill, and improve the Service — signing you in, deducting credits, enforcing rate limits, processing payments, sending essential service emails, and investigating fraud or abuse. We do not use your information to train AI models, and we do not profile you for advertising.
Who we share it with
- Stripe, Inc. (payment processor) — to bill subscriptions and credit packs and to comply with payment-network and tax requirements. Stripe's handling is governed by its own Privacy Policy.
- Google LLC and GitHub, Inc. — only if you choose OAuth sign-in, and only to verify your account, under their respective privacy policies.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — our edge / CDN provider; sees request metadata in transit for DDoS protection and rate limiting.
- When you connect AkkruData to a third-party LLM client (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) over MCP, your tool calls and responses pass through that provider's platform; those interactions are governed by that provider's terms and privacy policy. We do not receive the surrounding conversation outside the MCP tool call.
- Government, legal, or regulatory authorities when required to comply with a valid legal process or to protect rights, safety, or property.
- We do not sell or rent personal information.
How long we keep it
- Account data (email, profile, hashed password, OAuth links) — until you delete your account.
- API and tool usage logs — 90 days, then automatically purged.
- Payment and billing records — as required by tax and accounting law (typically 7 years in the United States).
- Server access logs — short windows for security investigation, then rotated.
Your rights
You can view and update your profile from the dashboard, generate or revoke API keys, view your 90-day usage history, and delete your account at any time. To exercise rights to access, correction, deletion, portability, or restriction under applicable law (including the California Consumer Privacy Act), email [email protected]. We respond within the timeframe required by law (typically 45 days under the CCPA).
Where data is stored
The Service is hosted on infrastructure located in the United States. If you access the Service from another country, you consent to your information being transferred to and processed in the United States.
Children
AkkruData is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify you by email or in-app notice.
