Privacy Policy

Sporge ("we", "us", or "our") operates sporge.dev, an AI-powered pixel art asset generator for indie game developers. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

By using Sporge, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

We collect the following personal information directly from you:

• Name — provided during account registration
• Email address — required for account creation and communication
• Username — chosen during account setup
• Password — stored in encrypted (hashed) form; never stored in plain text
• Contact preferences — your choices regarding email notifications and marketing

We also collect usage data automatically, including: number of asset generations, subscription plan type, and basic access logs for security and performance purposes.

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

Sporge relies on the following third-party services to operate. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Anthropic API — your text prompts are sent to Anthropic to generate pixel art output. Anthropic's privacy policy applies to prompt processing. Sporge does not use your prompts to train AI models.
• Stripe — payment processing. Sporge does not store credit card numbers or billing addresses. Stripe's privacy policy governs payment data.
• Supabase — cloud database hosting your account data. Data is stored in secure, access-controlled infrastructure.
• Vercel — web hosting and serverless functions. Request logs may be retained for security purposes.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, we process your personal information under the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract — processing your account data and prompts is necessary to provide the service you signed up for
• Legitimate interests — usage analytics and fraud prevention
• Consent — marketing communications, where you have explicitly opted in

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal information is removed within 30 days. Text prompts may be retained for up to 90 days for debugging purposes, after which they are deleted.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
