Privacy Policy

Elites Hide It is an independent investigative media and knowledge platform. We collect the minimum data needed to run the service: your Google account email, display name and profile photo (via Google Sign-In), the content you bookmark, your roadmap progress, and subscription/payment records (handled by Paddle — we never see your card details).

What we use it for

• Recognizing you across devices so your unlocks, saves and progress follow your account.
• Managing your subscription and keeping payment records as required by tax law.
• Understanding which content is useful (aggregate, anonymous usage counts).

What we never do

• Sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing.
• Store card numbers or banking credentials — Paddle (our payment provider) handles all payments.
• Track you across other websites or build advertising profiles.

Data retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. Payment records may be retained after account deletion where tax or financial regulations require. Anonymous analytics are aggregated and cannot be traced back to individual users.

Your rights

You can export everything we hold about you (Settings → Export my data) or delete your account (Settings → Delete my account) at any time. If you have questions about your data, contact us at hello@eliteshideit.com.
