DamnSlides ("Company", "we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you use the DamnSlides platform at damnslides.com ("Service"). It also describes your rights regarding your personal data and how to exercise them. This policy applies to all users of the Service, regardless of location.
When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials. If you sign in via Google OAuth, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google. We do not receive or store your Google password.
We store the topics, instructions, outlines, and presentation content you create or upload using the Service ("User Content"). We also store the AI-generated presentations, slides, and review results ("AI Output"). This data is associated with your account and is necessary to provide the Service.
We collect information about how you interact with the Service, including: features used, pages visited, generation history, credit consumption, transaction records, timestamps of actions, and session duration. This data helps us operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
We automatically collect technical information including: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, referring URL, and page load performance metrics. This data is collected through Vercel Web Analytics, which is a first-party, privacy-friendly analytics solution that does not use cookies or track users across sites.
If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment details (credit card number, billing address) are collected and processed directly by our third-party payment processor. We do not receive, access, or store your full payment card number. We may receive limited information such as the card's last four digits, expiration date, and billing country for record-keeping and support purposes.
When you contact us via email or through the Service, we collect the content of your messages, your email address, and any attachments you provide. We use this information to respond to your inquiries and improve our support.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the following legal bases under GDPR:
When you use AI features, your User Content (topics, instructions, outline text) is sent to third-party AI model providers via API for real-time processing. The AI provider generates a response, which is returned to you through our Service.
We send only the content necessary to generate your presentation: your topic text, style preferences, outline content, and slide HTML for regeneration. We do not send your personal information (name, email, account ID, payment details) to AI providers.
Our AI provider agreements stipulate that input data is processed in real-time and is not retained or used for model training purposes. However, AI providers may temporarily log API requests for abuse monitoring and debugging, subject to their own privacy policies and data retention schedules.
We do not use your User Content or AI Output to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models. Your content is processed solely to deliver the requested output to you.
We use strictly necessary cookies for authentication session management. These cookies are required for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. They do not track you across websites.
We use Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that does not use cookies, does not collect personally identifiable information, and does not track users across sites. It provides aggregate metrics such as page views, visitor counts, and performance data.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, social media tracking scripts, or any third-party tracking technologies for advertising purposes.
Our Service respects "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser signals. Since we do not engage in cross-site tracking, DNT signals do not change how the Service operates.
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following circumstances:
We share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service, subject to data processing agreements:
We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental request, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on the Service before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures, including:
While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities within 72 hours as required by applicable law.
The Service is hosted on Vercel's global edge network with primary data processing in the United States. Your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.
For transfers from the EEA/UK, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other appropriate safeguards as required by GDPR. By using the Service, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your information as described in this section.
The Service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at privacy@damnslides.com.

We only send marketing or promotional emails with your explicit opt-in consent. You may opt out at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email or by contacting us. Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional communications (billing, security, account notifications).
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data, including racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, biometric data, or criminal history. Please do not submit such data as User Content. If sensitive data is inadvertently collected, we will delete it upon discovery or request.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. For material changes, we will provide at least 14 days advance notice via email or in-app notification. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
