Privacy Policy

TL;DR: We collect only what we need to run DeadDrop—your email, your messages, and basic usage data. We don’t sell your data, show you ads, or use your content for any unrelated purpose. We use Clerk for login, Stripe for payments, and AWS/Neon for infrastructure. Messages auto-delete based on your plan (3-30 days). You can delete your account anytime. That’s it.
