Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. Information We Collect
Cadizio ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, subscribe to our premium plans, or contact our support team. This includes your name, email address, and billing information (processed securely via Stripe).
We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. We use third-party tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to capture how you interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve our asset discovery experience. These tools may collect anonymized usage data such as mouse movements, clicks, and scroll behavior to help us identify usability issues and optimize the platform.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and provide the features and functionality of the Service. We also use it to communicate directly with you, such as sending you account alerts, billing receipts, and service updates.
3. Third-Party Services & Advertising
Cadizio uses third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, to display ads on certain pages. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings.
We also use Microsoft Clarity for behavioral analytics. Clarity captures session recordings and heatmaps to help us understand how users navigate the site. No personally identifiable information is stored by Clarity beyond what is described in Microsoft's Privacy Statement.
4. Data Security and Storage
Your assets and metadata are stored on specialized Hetzner S3 buckets using enterprise-grade encryption. Presigned URLs are generated ephemerally to ensure that unauthorized third-parties cannot intercept your asset downloads.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information, aimed squarely at improving the speed and relevance of the asset searches provided to your browser. You may instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent; however, some features of the Service may not function properly without cookies.
