Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2, 2026 · Effective immediately

SignSpaces LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Deaf Culture app and culture.signspaces.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

We are a Deaf-owned company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Privacy is core to our values. We collect the minimum necessary information to deliver the Service.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you sign up, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials (or OAuth tokens if you sign in with Google or Apple).

Learning activity: We track which lessons you complete, your streak, and your progress. This data lets us show your stats, save your progress between sessions, and improve the curriculum.

Payment information: If you subscribe to Premium, payment is processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card information on our servers. We retain only your subscription status, billing email, and Stripe customer ID.

Technical data: Standard web analytics: browser type, device type, IP address (anonymized), and pages visited. This helps us identify bugs and improve performance.

Communications: If you email us or fill out a form (including the contact form), we keep that correspondence to respond to you.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide the Service and save your progress across devices
  • To process payments for Premium subscriptions
  • To respond to your support requests
  • To send transactional emails (account confirmations, payment receipts, password resets)
  • To improve the Service through aggregate analytics
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information. Ever. We do not share your information with advertisers or data brokers.

3. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

The Deaf Culture app is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@signspaces.com and we will promptly delete the information.

4. How We Protect Your Information

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls on our database. Payment processing is handled by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS compliant.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services We Use

We use the following third-party services to operate the Service:

  • Stripe: payment processing
  • Supabase / Lovable Cloud: database and authentication
  • Google OAuth: optional sign-in
  • Apple OAuth: optional sign-in
  • Web3Forms: contact form processing

Each service has its own privacy policy. We choose providers with strong privacy practices.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Export your learning progress data
  • Cancel your subscription at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email support@signspaces.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records (such as financial records related to payments, which we retain for 7 years per applicable law).

8. International Users

The Service is operated from the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States. If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with data protection laws, you have additional rights under those laws. Contact us to exercise them.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through the Service. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.
