Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 28, 2026  |  Last Updated: April 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Contracts Manager (referred to as "the App", "we", "us", or "our"), developed by TProM Team, collects, uses, stores, and protects your information. The App is available as a web application and on Android (with iOS planned).

We are committed to transparency and to complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. This policy is based on the actual behavior of the App as implemented in its source code.

Key Points at a Glance

1. Data We Collect

1.1 Personal Data (via Google Sign-In)

If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive the following from your Google account through Firebase Authentication:

DataSourcePurpose
Email addressGoogle AccountUser identification and account management
Display nameGoogle AccountPersonalization within the App
Profile photo URLGoogle AccountAvatar display in the App
Unique user ID (UID)Firebase AuthenticationInternal account identifier
Account creation dateFirebase AuthenticationAccount metadata
Last sign-in dateFirebase AuthenticationAccount metadata

Guest Mode: You may use the App without signing in. In guest mode, no personal data is collected. All data remains on your device only.

1.2 Contract Data (User-Provided Content)

You create and manage contract records that may include:

Important: We do not control or review the content you enter into contracts. Your contracts may contain personal or sensitive data (e.g., names, addresses, financial details). The App processes this content to provide its core functionality but does not classify, profile, or make automated decisions based on it.

1.3 App Preferences

The App stores your settings locally, including: language, theme, font size, currency preference, notification preferences, and auto-sync preference.

1.4 Technical Data

DataWhenPurpose
Browser/OS informationDuring cloud syncIncluded in sync metadata to help you identify which device last synced
Google OAuth access tokenAfter sign-inAuthorize access to your Google Drive app folder

1.5 Data We Do NOT Collect

2. Data Sources

2.1 Directly from You

2.2 From Third Parties

Third PartyData ReceivedWhen
Google (via Firebase Authentication)Email, display name, profile photo URLWhen you sign in with Google
Groq APIStructured extraction result (JSON) based on text you sentWhen you use AI contract analysis

3. How We Store Your Data

3.1 Local Storage (Your Device)

All core App data is stored locally on your device using browser localStorage (web) and native device storage (Android via Capacitor). This includes:

3.2 Cloud Storage (Your Google Drive)

If you opt in to cloud sync, the App stores data in the hidden application-specific folder (appDataFolder) within your own Google Drive account. This folder is:

The following files are stored in your Google Drive app folder:

FileContentEncrypted
contracts.jsonYour contract records (document file contents are excluded — only filenames are synced)Yes (AES-256-GCM)
settings.jsonYour app preferencesYes (AES-256-GCM)
sync-metadata.jsonSync version, timestamp, contract count, device infoNo
Important: Attached document files (PDFs, images) are never uploaded to the cloud. Only document filenames and extensions are included in the synced contract data. Full document content remains on your device only.

3.3 Firebase Authentication

Your authentication identity record (email, name, profile photo URL, UID, account timestamps) is stored in our Firebase Authentication project (contracts-manager-e82c5). Firebase is operated by Google and processes this data on our behalf. As the Firebase project administrator, we have access to your email address, display name, and account metadata through the Firebase Console. This data is used solely for account management and support purposes. No contract data is stored in Firebase.

3.4 Our Own Servers

We do not operate our own backend databases to store your data. We operate a lightweight serverless proxy (hosted on Vercel) that forwards AI analysis requests to the Groq API. This proxy verifies your Firebase authentication token to ensure only authenticated users can make AI requests, but it does not store, log, or retain any contract data or AI responses. All contract data resides either on your device or in your own Google Drive account.

3.5 Google Cloud Platform Monitoring

Our use of Google APIs (Firebase Authentication, Google Drive) is managed through Google Cloud Platform. Google Cloud automatically records API usage metrics (such as request counts, error rates, and quota usage) in the Google Cloud Console. This is infrastructure-level monitoring provided by Google and does not contain your personal contract data. However, it may include aggregated usage statistics such as the number of API calls made by the App.

4. How We Use Your Data

PurposeData UsedLegal Basis (GDPR)
Provide core App functionality (manage contracts) Contract data, settings Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b))

5. Legal Bases for Processing

5.1 European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on to process your personal information. We may rely on the following legal bases:

If you are located in the EEA or UK and believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you have the right to complain to your Member State data protection authority or the UK data protection authority. If you are located in Switzerland, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

5.2 Canada

If you are located in Canada, we may process your information if you have given us specific permission (express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.

In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including:

6. Data Processing & Flow

6.1 Authentication Flow

  1. You click "Sign in with Google".
  2. Google's OAuth consent screen is shown (managed by Google).
  3. Upon approval, Firebase Authentication receives your Google credentials and creates/updates your identity record.
  4. The App receives your profile (email, name, photo URL, UID) and stores it locally on your device.
  5. A Google OAuth token is stored locally to enable Google Drive access.

6.2 Contract Management Flow

  1. You create or edit a contract via the App's form.
  2. Contract data (including any attached documents) is saved to your device's local storage.
  3. If auto-sync is enabled, a sync is triggered after a short delay (2 seconds).
  4. During sync, contract data is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and uploaded to your Google Drive app folder. Document binary content is excluded from the upload.

6.3 AI Analysis Flow

  1. You upload a PDF or image and choose to analyze it.
  2. Text is extracted from the document entirely on your device (using PDF.js or Tesseract.js OCR).
  3. The App sends the request (up to 4,000 characters of extracted text) to our serverless proxy, which verifies your Firebase authentication token before forwarding it to the Groq API.
  4. Groq returns a JSON result with extracted fields (title, dates, amounts, category).
  5. The AI response is validated and sanitized (schema validation, type enforcement, dangerous character removal) before being used to pre-fill contract form fields locally.

7. AI Processing

The App offers an optional AI-powered feature to analyze contract documents and extract key information.

PropertyDetail
AI Service ProviderGroq, Inc. (San Francisco, USA)
AI ModelLlama 3.3 70B Versatile (hosted by Groq)
Data SentUp to 4,000 characters of text extracted from your uploaded contract document
When Data Is SentOnly when you initiate an analysis — never automatically
AuthenticationEvery AI request requires a valid Firebase authentication token, which is verified server-side (JWT signature validated against Google's public JWKS) before the request is forwarded to Groq
Response ValidationAll AI-extracted fields are validated and sanitized (schema validation, type enforcement, maximum length limits, dangerous character removal) before being used in the App
Data Stored by GroqPer Groq's API terms, input data is not used for model training. Groq may temporarily log API requests for abuse prevention, debugging, and compliance purposes. We recommend reviewing Groq's Privacy Policy for the most current information on their data retention practices.
What May Be Included in TextDepending on your contract content: company names, addresses, contract numbers, financial figures, IBANs, dates, email addresses, phone numbers, or other information present in the document
User NoticeA privacy notice is displayed in the App before analysis is performed
Note: Text extraction from documents (PDF parsing and OCR) is performed entirely on your device. Only the extracted text (not the original file) is sent to Groq, and only when you explicitly initiate the analysis.

7a. AI-Generated Cancellation Emails

The App includes a contract cancellation assistance feature that uses AI (Groq API, Llama 3.3) to generate draft cancellation email text based on your contract details (provider name, contract number).

7b. Premium Points System

The App features a points-based system that allows users to unlock AI-powered PDF analysis scans.

8. Third-Party Services

Google API Services User Data Policy

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Social Login (Google Sign-In)

The App offers you the ability to register and log in using your Google account. Where you choose to do this, we receive certain profile information from Google, specifically: your name, email address, and profile picture. We do not receive your friends list, contacts, or any other social information.

We will use the information we receive only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not control, and are not responsible for, other uses of your personal information by Google. We recommend that you review Google's Privacy Policy to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information.

Third-Party Websites

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access through the App.

Business Transfers

We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. If such a transfer occurs, the acquiring party will be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.

9. Cookies & Tracking

9.1 Cookies

The App uses one functional cookie:

Cookie NamePurposeDurationType
sidebar_state Remembers whether the sidebar is open or closed (stores true or false) 7 days Strictly necessary / Functional (first-party)

The App does not use any tracking, advertising, or third-party cookies.

9.2 Analytics & Tracking

The App does not use any analytics or tracking services. Specifically:

9.3 Crash Reporting

The App does not use external crash reporting services (no Sentry, Crashlytics, or similar). Application errors are logged locally on your device for debugging purposes only and are never transmitted to any external server. Sensitive data (such as contract text content and AI responses) is not included in any local diagnostic logs.

9.4 Do-Not-Track Signals

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. Since the App does not use any analytics, tracking, advertising, or profiling technologies, DNT signals have no practical effect on how the App operates — we do not track you regardless of whether DNT is enabled.
