This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how to exercise your rights in Canada and Quebec.
1. Purpose
This policy describes how auto-texte.ca collects, uses, and protects your personal information under Quebec's Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector (Law 25) and Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

3. Information collected
Voluntary input: text in generators, public comments (name or nickname, message), tool form content.
Payment data: Pro/Business purchases are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number; Stripe provides transaction IDs and payment status.
Technical data: IP address (hashed for internal statistics), approximate country/region, browser type, pages visited, timestamps — kept for security, operations, and a private dashboard accessible only to the publisher.
Local browser storage: language preference, daily usage limits, unlocked plan after payment, invoice numbering, cookie consent, pending comments.
Affiliate links: anonymous click data or session IDs may be logged to measure commissions.
