• Temporary Metadata: We may store metadata such as expiration timestamps, view limits, and non-identifiable logs for auditing and security monitoring.
• Technical Data: We collect anonymized usage data, including browser type, IP address, and access times, to improve security and performance.

We use the data collected for the following purposes:

• Service Operation: Ensuring the secure and proper functioning of Obscura.
• Security & Compliance: Monitoring for suspicious activity and protecting against unauthorized access.
• Improvement & Optimization: Enhancing user experience and maintaining system stability.

3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Access

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties except in the following circumstances:

• Legal Compliance: If required by law, subpoena, or governmental request, we may disclose information necessary to comply with legal obligations.
• Security Threats: If we detect potential security threats, we may share anonymized security logs with cybersecurity professionals for analysis.

4. Data Security & Protection

We implement industry-leading security measures to protect your data, including:

• Encryption: All passwords stored in Obscura are encrypted before storage.
• Limited Data Retention: Passwords automatically expire based on user settings, and expired entries are permanently deleted.
• Access Controls: Internal access to system logs is strictly restricted to authorized personnel.
• Regular Security Audits: Our system is periodically reviewed for vulnerabilities and security improvements.

5. Your Rights & Choices

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Data Deletion: Passwords are automatically deleted upon expiration, and users can manually delete them at any time.
• Access & Correction: As Obscura does not store plaintext passwords, we cannot retrieve lost passwords.
• Opt-Out of Tracking: You can disable cookies or use browser privacy settings to limit non-essential tracking.

6. Cookies & Tracking

Obscura may use minimal cookies or tracking technologies for security and performance monitoring. No personal or sensitive information is stored in cookies.

7. Third-Party Services

Obscura may contain links to external websites or third-party services. We are not responsible for their privacy policies or security practices. Users should review third-party policies before providing any data.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The latest version will always be available on our website. Continued use of Obscura after any updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

9. Data Retention & Deletion

We implement a periodic wiping of historical data to maintain security and privacy. This includes automatic deletion of expired and non-expired password entries and routine removal of older metadata logs.

• Password Expiry: All passwords stored in Obscura automatically expire based on user-defined settings and are permanently deleted.
• Audit Log Retention: Non-identifiable metadata (such as access logs) may be retained for security monitoring but is periodically purged.
• Periodic System Cleanups: We may, at our discretion, perform scheduled data purges to ensure security and compliance.

Important Note: Once data is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Users are responsible for maintaining secure backups of their credentials at all times.
