Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

ChronoMatch (“we”, “our”, “us”) operates the website chronomatch.net and the ChronoMatch mobile application. We help watch enthusiasts discover, track, and manage their watch collections.

Contact: support@chronomatch.net

2. Data we collect

• Account data: email address, name, and profile photo when you sign up via email, Google, or Facebook.
• Watch vault data: watches you add to your collection, including purchase price, service dates, and notes you provide. We never ask for your address or physical location.
• Search queries: natural-language and image-based watch searches you perform.
• Payment data: subscription billing is handled by Stripe. We store only your Stripe customer ID — we never see your card number.
• Usage analytics: page views and feature interactions collected via PostHog and Vercel Analytics, used to improve the product. No personal data is sold.

3. How we use your data

• To provide and personalise the ChronoMatch service.
• To send service reminders and price alerts you have opted into.
• To process subscription payments via Stripe.
• To improve and debug the product using aggregated analytics.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. Social login

When you choose to sign in with a third-party provider (such as Google, Apple, or Facebook), we receive only your name and email address from that provider — the minimum needed to create and authenticate your ChronoMatch account. We do not access your contacts, post on your behalf, or store any data from those providers beyond what is strictly necessary for authentication.

5. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate ChronoMatch — such as hosting, authentication, payment processing, and email delivery. These providers act on our instructions and are contractually required to protect your data in accordance with applicable law.

6. Data retention

We retain your account and vault data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all personal data is permanently deleted within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it.

7. Deleting your data

You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by emailing support@chronomatch.net with the subject line “Delete my account”. We will process your request within 30 days and confirm by email once complete.

If you logged in with Facebook, you can also revoke ChronoMatch's access via Facebook's app settings at any time. Revoking access does not automatically delete your ChronoMatch account — please email us to complete the deletion.

8. Cookies

We use session cookies for authentication and a small anonymous cookie (anon_sl) to limit the number of AI-powered searches available to unauthenticated users. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data (see section 7)
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Data portability

To exercise any of these rights, email support@chronomatch.net.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the website. Continued use of ChronoMatch after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
