Privacy Policy

The TL;DR Version

We don't sell your data. We don't share your data. We barely want to look at your data. Your death plans are between you, your loved ones, and whatever deity you believe in (or don't).

1. What Information We Collect (The Dirt We Have on You)

Information You Give Us:

• Account Info: Email, password, name (the basics to know who's planning for death)
• Document Data: Everything you put in your will, POA, and healthcare directives (yes, even that weird bequest to your hamster)
• Payment Info: Credit card details (processed by Stripe, we don't store this stuff)
• Invitee Info: Email addresses of people you invite to view your documents

Information We Collect Automatically:

• Usage Data: How you use the app (so we can make it less terrible)
• Device Info: Browser type, IP address, the usual stalker stuff
• Cookies: The digital kind, not the kind you eat while contemplating mortality

2. How We Use Your Information (Our Master Plan)

We use your information to:

• Create and store your documents (obviously)
• Process payments (we like money)
• Send you important emails (not spam, we promise)
• Improve our service (make death planning slightly less awful)
• Comply with legal obligations (the government makes us)
• Prevent fraud (scammers ruin everything)

We DO NOT use your information to:

• Sell to third parties (your data isn't for sale)
• Judge your life choices (leaving everything to your cat is valid)
• Contact your beneficiaries early (that would be awkward)
• Create targeted ads about coffins (too dark, even for us)

3. How We Protect Your Information (Fort Knox, But Digital)

We take security seriously because data breaches are scarier than death itself:

• Encryption: Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit (it's like a digital fortress)
• Access Controls: Only necessary team members can access data (and they sign scary NDAs)
• Regular Security Audits: We check our locks regularly
• Secure Infrastructure: We use industry-standard cloud providers (the good ones)

Reality Check: No system is 100% secure. If hackers want your will badly enough, they might get it. But honestly, they're probably after bigger fish than your bequest to Fluffy.

4. Who We Share Your Information With (The Short List)

We share your data with:

• People You Explicitly Invite: Via our account sharing feature
• Service Providers: Stripe for payments, AWS for hosting, SendGrid for emails (the boring but necessary stuff)
• Legal Authorities: Only if legally required (we're rebels, but not that rebellious)

We NEVER share with:

• Data brokers
• Advertisers
• Your ex
• That relative you're specifically excluding from your will
• Random companies who want to sell you funeral insurance

5. Your Rights (You're Not Powerless)

You have the right to:

• Access Your Data: See what we have on you (spoiler: it's what you gave us)
• Correct Your Data: Fix mistakes before they become permanent
• Delete Your Data: Nuclear option - delete your account and we'll forget you existed
• Download Your Data: Take your documents and run
• Opt-Out of Marketing: Stop our hilarious death-related emails

To exercise these rights, email us at privacy@killswitch.app. We'll respond faster than a funeral director at a nursing home.

6. Cookies (The Digital Kind)

We use cookies to:

• Keep you logged in (convenience over death)
• Remember your preferences (dark mode for dark thoughts)
• Analyze usage (see which death jokes land)
• Prevent fraud (protect your digital afterlife)

You can disable cookies, but the app might work about as well as a chocolate teapot. Your choice.

7. Third-Party Services (Our Digital Accomplices)

We use these third-party services:

• Stripe: Payment processing (they handle your money, not us)
• AWS: Cloud hosting (where your digital soul resides)
• SendGrid: Email delivery (how we haunt your inbox)
• Google Analytics: Usage tracking (the all-seeing eye)

Each has their own privacy policy. We vetted them so you don't have to (you're welcome).

8. Data Retention (How Long We Remember You)

Active Accounts: We keep your data as long as you have an account (hopefully longer than you'll need it).

Deleted Accounts: We delete your data 30 days after account closure (in case you change your mind about digital death).

Legal Requirements: Some data we keep longer because lawyers make us.

9. Children's Privacy (Kids, Go Away)

Our service is for adults only. If you're under 18, go play Fortnite or whatever kids do these days. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If we find out we did, we'll delete it faster than you can say "memento mori."

10. International Users (Death Is Universal)

We're based in the United States. If you're using our service from another country, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US. By using Killswitch, you consent to this transfer. Different countries have different privacy laws - we follow US law, which is pretty decent but not European-level paranoid.

11. Changes to This Policy (We Might Edit This)

We might update this policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email or a giant banner that's impossible to miss. Continued use after changes means you accept them. Circle of life and all that.

12. Contact Us (We're Listening)

Questions about privacy? Concerns about your data? Just want to chat about mortality? Hit us up:

Privacy Officer (fancy title for "person who cares about your data")
Email: legal@killswitch.app

Response time: Faster than the grim reaper, slower than instant coffee.

Remember: We care about your privacy almost as much as we care about your mortality.

Your data is safe with us. Unlike you, it's not going anywhere. 💀
