Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 09/07/2025

Welcome to EZListing. This Privacy Policy explains how we, the individual operator of this service (referred to as "we," "us," or "our" for simplicity), collect, use, and protect your information when you use our web application and services (the "Service").

Your privacy is a top priority. We are committed to being transparent about the data we collect and how we use it to provide you with a reliable and secure service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways to operate and improve our Service.

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and a username. We do not store your password in plaintext; it is always stored in a secure, hashed format.
  • Submitted Content: We collect the third-party website URLs that you submit to the Service for processing.

B. Information We Collect Automatically

  • Usage Data: Like most websites, we automatically collect information about how you interact with our Service. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, pages visited, and the dates and times of your visits. This data helps us understand usage patterns and improve the Service.
  • Cookies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate the Service. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. We use them to maintain your session (keep you logged in), remember your preferences, and ensure the security of your account. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, but some parts of our Service may not function correctly without them.

C. Information Processed on Your Behalf

  • Third-Party Website Content: When you provide a URL, our Service accesses the content of that webpage on your behalf in order to generate an article. We process this content but do not claim ownership of it.
  • Generated Content: We store the articles ("Generated Content") that are created by the Service from the URLs you provide. This content is stored privately within your account.

D. What We DO NOT Collect We are committed to collecting only what is necessary. We do not knowingly or intentionally collect sensitive personal information, such as government-issued identifiers, financial account information, health-related information, or information about your race, ethnicity, religion, or political opinions.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain the Service: To create and manage your account, process the URLs you submit, generate and store your articles, and allow you to share them via private links.
  • To Improve and Analyze the Service: To understand how our users interact with the Service, diagnose technical issues, and develop new features. We typically use aggregated and anonymized Usage Data for this purpose.
  • To Communicate with You: To send you important service-related notices, such as security alerts, updates to our terms, or responses to your support requests.
  • For Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect the integrity of our Service, prevent unauthorized access to your account, and monitor for malicious activity.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We only share your information in the limited circumstances described below:

  • With Service Providers: We may share information with third-party vendors and service providers who help us operate our Service, such as cloud hosting providers (for servers and storage), database services, and security monitoring tools. These providers are only given access to the information necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect your data.
  • As Directed By You: When you generate a private link to share your Generated Content, you are directing us to make that specific content accessible to anyone who possesses the link. We are not responsible for what happens to the link after you share it.
  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe it is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

4. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. This includes using encryption (SSL/TLS) for data in transit and implementing access controls for our systems.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. We retain the URLs you submit and the Generated Content associated with your account until you choose to delete them or your entire account.

Upon account deletion, we will take steps to delete your account information and Generated Content from our active systems within a reasonable period. We may retain some anonymized Usage Data for analytical purposes or some data as required for legal or security reasons.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have choices regarding the information we collect:

  • Access and Update: You can review and update your account information (like your email address) through your account settings.
  • Account Deletion: You can delete your account at any time by contacting us at [email protected].
  • Cookies: You can manage or disable cookies through your web browser's settings.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or a higher age if required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the new policy on this page and, if the changes are significant, by sending an email to the address associated with your account. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
