Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 30, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Tapt. The Service is operated by ANNON IT, trading as Tapt. References to "we," "our," or "us" in this Privacy Policy mean ANNON IT. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website, Chrome extension, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not use the Service.
2. Payments and Paddle (merchant of record)
Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.
When you buy a paid plan or add-on through our checkout, Paddle collects and processes payment and billing data (for example name, email, and payment method details) as described in Paddle's Privacy Policy. Refunds and statutory rights for those purchases are covered by Paddle's Refund Policy. How this relates to Tapt is summarized on our Terms & Conditions and Refund Policy pages.

4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:

5. AI Processing
Tapt uses third-party AI models (via services such as Groq) to analyze bug reports. When you use AI features, relevant report data (video transcripts, console logs, network data, screenshots) may be sent to these AI providers for processing. This data is used solely to generate analysis results and is not used by AI providers to train their models.
We support 18 AI models. You can choose which model processes your data.
6. Data Storage & Security
- Media Storage: Recordings and screenshots are stored on Cloudinary's infrastructure with secure access controls.
- Database: Account and report metadata is stored in a PostgreSQL database managed via Prisma ORM.
- Encryption: All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt before storage.
- Access Controls: Your data is only accessible to you through authenticated API endpoints.
7. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may delete individual bug reports at any time from your dashboard. When you delete a report, the associated recording, screenshots, and metadata are permanently removed from our systems and third-party storage providers.
8. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:
- Service Providers: Third-party services that help us operate (e.g., Cloudinary for media storage, Groq for AI processing, database hosting providers).
- Paddle: When you complete a paid purchase through our Paddle checkout, Paddle processes payment and related personal data as merchant of record; see section 2 and Paddle's privacy policy.
