This Privacy Policy describes how Architecto.dev ("Architecto," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you use the Architecto platform available at https://architecto.dev (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

  • Basic profile information, including your display name and profile picture.

We use this information solely to create and manage your Architecto account, personalize your experience, and communicate with you. We do not access your Google contacts, Google Drive files, or any other Google services beyond the authentication scopes listed above.

You can revoke Architecto's access to your Google account at any time by visiting your Google Account Permissions.

  • Device Information: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and device identifiers.
  • Log Data: IP address, access times, referring URLs, and error logs.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and improve the Service. See Section 7 for details.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party vendors (hosting, analytics, payment processing, email delivery) who process data on our behalf under strict contractual obligations.
  • Collaboration Features: If you share diagrams, documents, or workspaces with other users or organizations, the associated content and your profile information will be visible to those collaborators.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as resolving disputes or enforcing agreements).

User-generated content (diagrams, documents) will be permanently deleted upon account deletion unless it is part of a shared workspace owned by another user or organization.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest.
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms for internal systems.
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring.
  • Infrastructure hosted on reputable cloud providers with SOC 2 compliance.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
