• our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Service;
• your consent, where you voluntarily provide information;
• compliance with legal obligations;
• performance of a request you initiate, such as a project submission.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• with service providers or infrastructure providers that help us run the Service;
• with third-party APIs or model providers when necessary to fetch public repository information or generate structured summaries;
• when required by law, regulation, legal process, or valid governmental request;
• to protect the rights, safety, security, and integrity of ClawPulse, users, or the public;
• in connection with a business transfer, reorganization, or similar transaction.

5. Third-Party Sources and Services

ClawPulse may rely on third-party services such as GitHub, AI model providers, hosting platforms, analytics or logging tools, and database infrastructure. Those third parties may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Service, maintain project records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Public project data may remain indexed unless removal is required or justified.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International Processing

The Service may be operated and hosted in multiple jurisdictions. By using ClawPulse, you understand that information may be processed or stored in countries other than your own, subject to applicable law.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability regarding personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

If you want to request removal or correction of content that relates to you or your project, contact ClawPulse through the official contact channel where the Service is published. We may request verification before acting on a request.

10. Children's Privacy

ClawPulse is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age required by applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and delete it if appropriate.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version becomes effective when posted on this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
