Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Introduction

This policy explains what information SectorAPI collects when you visit sectorapi.com or use the API, and how it is used.

Information we collect

Account information: your email address and, if you sign in with Google, your name as provided by Google. Authentication is handled by Google Firebase.
API usage: a count of requests per account per day, used to apply plan limits. We do not store the content of your requests or the responses.
Billing: your plan, subscription status and Stripe customer reference. Card details are collected and stored by Stripe, never by us.
Website visits: anonymous, aggregated page-view counts (page, referring site, device type and time zone). We do not store IP addresses for this, and we do not use advertising or third-party analytics trackers.

How we use information

To provide the Service, issue API keys and enforce plan limits.
To process payments and manage subscriptions.
To send essential account and service notices (for example email verification, billing or material changes to the Service).
To understand overall site traffic and improve the Service.
To prevent abuse and comply with legal obligations.

Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information. We share it only with service providers that operate the Service on our behalf: Google (Firebase authentication, database and hosting), Microsoft (Azure website hosting) and Stripe (payments), or where required by law.

Cookies and local storage

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The website stores a few small values in your browser's local storage: your sign-in state, and flags that let us count a returning visitor without identifying them. Signing in uses Firebase authentication storage. Clearing your browser storage removes them.

Data retention

Account information is kept while your account is open. Daily usage counts are kept for a short period for limits and billing. The recent-visit feed is deleted automatically after 30 days; aggregated daily traffic totals contain no personal information.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Access to account and key records is restricted to our servers; the database denies direct access from browsers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, or close your account, by emailing support@sectorapi.com. Depending on where you live (for example the EU, UK or California) you may have additional rights, which we will honour.

Children

The Service is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes

We may update this policy and will change the "Last updated" date when we do. Material changes will be notified to account holders by email.
