1. Scope
This policy covers the Shice AI website (shice.ai, “the site”), run by the operator of Shice AI (“we”).
You can browse every public page without an account. We only receive information you choose to give us when you register, report an error or suggest a provider.
For questions about this policy, or to exercise the rights described below, email [email protected].
2. Information we collect
- Account: your email address and an irreversible hash of your password. We cannot see the password itself.
- Sign-in and device: the time and IP address of your latest sign-in, your sign-in sessions, and a randomly generated device identifier used to recognise the same browser.
- What you submit: the text and URLs in corrections and provider suggestions, and the IP address at the time of submission.
- Access logs: time, IP address, requested page and browser type, used for security and troubleshooting.
We do not collect your legal name, phone number or payment details, and we never ask for any provider's API key.
3. Cookies and local storage
The site uses only the cookies and browser storage it needs to work:
- Sign-in: the access token, refresh token and device identifier are kept in HttpOnly cookies that page scripts cannot read, plus a sign-in flag cookie that holds no credentials. Signing out clears the tokens and the flag; the device identifier is kept for one year.
- Preferences: your display currency is kept in a cookie for one year; the language prompt and your cookie choice are stored in the browser.
The site has no analytics service and no advertising cookies today. Before adding either we will update this policy and, where consent is required, ask you first.
4. How we use it
- To provide registration, sign-in and password reset, and to send email verification codes.
- To handle and answer the corrections and suggestions you submit.
- To keep the site secure: rate limiting, and spotting unusual sign-ins and abuse.
- To understand overall traffic so we can improve the content; these statistics do not identify individuals.
We do not sell personal information, do not use it to target ads at you, and do not use it for automated decisions that significantly affect you.
5. Sharing
We share your information only in these cases:
- Service providers: companies that supply our hosting, content delivery and security, and email delivery process the information needed for those services. They act on our instructions and may not use it for anything else.
- Legal requirements: when the law or a competent authority lawfully requires it.
- Other cases you have agreed to.
The site links to providers' own websites. Those sites are run by third parties, and what you give them is covered by their privacy policies. Future affiliate links will only tell the destination that the visit came from this site; they will not pass on your account information.
6. Where and how long
Our servers are in Singapore, where your information is stored and processed. If you visit from another country or region, your information is transferred to Singapore.
Account information is kept until you delete your account. After that we delete or anonymise it within a reasonable period, unless the law requires us to keep it.
Corrections we have adopted stay as part of the site's records, no longer linked to your account.
Access and security logs are kept only as long as troubleshooting and security require, then cleared on a regular basis.
7. Your rights
You can access and correct your account information, ask us to delete your personal information or your account, ask for a copy of your personal information, and withdraw consent you gave earlier.
Email [email protected] from your registered address. We will reply within 15 business days after verifying your identity.
Once your account is deleted you can no longer sign in or see your earlier submissions.
8. Security
The site is served over HTTPS throughout. Passwords are stored only as irreversible hashes, sign-in tokens live in cookies that page scripts cannot read, and internal access is permission-controlled and logged.
No security measure is perfect. If an incident may affect your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.
9. Children
The site is intended for developers. It is not directed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you are a parent or guardian and find that your child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. The updated version is published on this page with its date. For significant changes we will show a prominent notice on the site.
