Privacy

How Melochip handles your information.

This Privacy Policy explains what Melochip collects, why we collect it, how payment providers support billing, and how you can contact us about privacy requests.

Effective date: September 14, 2026

Information we collect

We collect information you provide when you create an account, update your profile, configure billing details, publish content, ask or answer community questions, create resumes or portfolios, save tools, subscribe to newsletters, or contact support. This can include your name, email address, username, profile details, billing country, postal information, content you submit, support messages, and account preferences.

Account, community, and content data

Melochip stores account records, authentication state, profile and portfolio content, resume data, article drafts, published posts, comments, reactions, reports, moderation records, and related metadata so the platform can operate, secure, display, and moderate those features.

Billing and payment providers

Melochip does not store full card numbers. India subscriptions are handled through Razorpay where available, and international subscriptions are handled through Paddle after Paddle checkout is enabled. Payment providers may process payment method details, tax information, invoices, fraud checks, and transaction metadata under their own policies. Melochip stores billing status, provider identifiers, checkout attempts, receipts, plan information, and webhook results needed to manage Pro access.

How we use information

We use information to provide Melochip features, authenticate users, secure accounts, process subscriptions, provide support, maintain audit and safety logs, improve product quality, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, and communicate important service or billing updates.

Cookies and local preferences

Essential cookies support sign-in, session security, CSRF protection, and privacy preferences. Melochip may also store local browser preferences such as theme and dismissed notices. Optional analytics or marketing cookies are used only when configured and permitted by the available privacy controls.

Sharing and service providers

We share information with service providers only as needed to operate Melochip, including hosting, email delivery, security, support, analytics when enabled, and payment processing. We may also share information when required by law, to protect users or the platform, or during a business transfer with appropriate safeguards.

Retention and deletion

We keep information while your account is active or while needed for platform operation, security, billing, legal, tax, dispute, and abuse-prevention purposes. You may request account or data assistance through the Contact page. Some records, such as payment, audit, fraud-prevention, or legal compliance records, may be retained after account closure where required or reasonably necessary.

Your choices

You can update account, profile, billing, notification, and privacy settings where those controls are available. You can contact Melochip to request help with access, correction, deletion, privacy questions, or billing-data concerns. We may need to verify your account before completing a request.

Contact for privacy questions

For privacy questions or requests, contact Melochip through the Contact page or email hello@melochip.com. Include the account email involved and a clear description of the request so we can respond accurately.
