# Privacy

Effective October 11, 2026

## Data

You may use match13 without an account. If you sign in, Clerk processes your account information; match13 stores an opaque account identifier and the profile choices, favorites, recent results, saved views, settings, API-key records and usage you create. Convex stores that application data.

Preferences and working data may be kept in cookies, local storage or session storage. A random HttpOnly device cookie limits token requests and does not identify you by name.

## Operations

Vercel hosts the service and provides aggregate analytics and performance measurements. Sentry receives error diagnostics when enabled; it is configured not to receive account identity, cookies, request headers or IP addresses. We measure page paths and limited action categories, not search text.

If you select Time theme, an IP-based approximate location and a rounded coordinate are sent to location and sunrise services and cached locally. The map requests precise location only with browser permission; match13 does not store it. Service providers may otherwise process ordinary network data under their own terms.

## Control

Use the account page to change synced data or delete your account as described below. You may also clear browser storage or block cookies, although parts of the service may then work differently.

## Account deletion and retention

Deletion removes your profile, followed teams, saved views, synced settings, recent searches and API keys before your Clerk account. Keys stop working once application-data deletion succeeds.

A minimal deletion marker (account identifier and timestamp) has no automatic expiry; it blocks delayed requests from recreating credentials or saved data.

API request logs have 14-day retention. Some account-linked usage totals, game activity and decline submissions have no automatic expiry and may contain identifiers or display names. Rate-limit records and aggregate statistics also remain.

Deletion does not clear browser storage or providers' operational records. Retained-data questions: privacy@match13.com.
