Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Tech Duel ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Service at www.tech-duel.com and app.tech-duel.com.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you sign in, we collect your name and email address via Google OAuth or email/password authentication (powered by Firebase Authentication).

Usage data: We store the technology comparisons you run, the questions you answer, and the AI-generated results. This data is tied to your account and stored in Google Firestore.

Payment data: Purchases are processed by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. We do not store payment card details. We receive confirmation of purchase amounts to credit your account.

Analytics: We use PostHog to collect anonymised product analytics (page views, feature usage, session data). We use Google Analytics (GA4) on our marketing site. These tools may set cookies.

Log data: Our servers automatically record IP addresses, browser type, and request details for security and debugging purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and operate the Service, including running AI comparisons and managing your credit balance.
  • To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
  • To send transactional emails (e.g. purchase receipts), we do not send marketing emails without your consent.
  • To understand how the Service is used and improve it.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with the following categories of third parties:

  • Google Firebase, authentication and database hosting (Google LLC, USA)
  • Anthropic, AI model provider that processes the text you submit during a comparison
  • Paddle, payment processing and tax compliance
  • PostHog, product analytics
  • Google Analytics, marketing site analytics

Each of these providers is bound by their own privacy policies and applicable data protection law.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data and comparison history for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, analytics, and session management. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features of the Service may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@tech-duel.com.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and Firebase security rules to protect your data. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International Transfers

Tech Duel is operated from Israel. Data is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure, which may involve transfers to servers in the United States or other countries. These transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards.

9. Children

The Service is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with data, please contact us and we will delete it.
