Privacy Policy

1. Data controller and contact

For questions about this privacy policy or the processing of your data, write to us at support@poeta.ink. More about who runs Poeta is on the Contact page.

2. What data we collect

Reading and writing poems is possible anonymously — in that case, we only store a random, non-personal session identifier in your browser (local storage), so you can edit, delete, or hide your own poem within that same visit. That session is deliberately never linked to any account you open later — see the Copyright page.

If you open an account (email or Google), we store your email for signing in and for linking your poems to your profile. To protect against automated abuse (Cloudflare Turnstile), your IP address and basic technical browser signals are also processed.

3. Legal basis for processing

We process data on the basis of contract performance (providing the service you're accessing), your consent (when creating an account), and our legitimate interest (preventing abuse and keeping the platform secure).

4. How we use data

Your email is used solely for authentication and for showing “My poems”. We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Published content

The poems you publish are public. Do not add personal data to a poem's text that you do not want to share publicly.

6. Third-party processing

We use Supabase for storage and authentication, and Brevo for sending transactional emails (signup confirmation, password reset). The site is served, and protected from automated bots, via Cloudflare.

For AI analysis, a poem's text is sent to one of several external AI providers, randomly selected from a pool of available models, solely to generate its score and short review.

7. International data transfers

Some of the providers listed above may process data outside the European Union/EEA (particularly for AI analysis, where the model is chosen at random from a global pool). Such transfers rely on the safeguards those providers contractually put in place (e.g. the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses).

8. Data retention

We keep account-related data for as long as your account exists, or until you request its deletion. Poems that were published publicly may remain available after account deletion unless you specifically request their removal too.

9. Cookies and local storage

We use local storage technology strictly necessary for signing in and remembering your anonymous session. We do not use cookies for third-party marketing or analytics purposes.

10. Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to request access to your data, its rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing. For any of these requests, write to us at support@poeta.ink.

If you believe your data has not been processed in accordance with the law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Croatia, the Personal Data Protection Agency (AZOP), azop.hr — or with the supervisory authority in the EU member state where you reside.
