Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 6, 2026

1. Introduction

ReplyZen.app ("we", "us", "our") operates the replyzen.app website and the ReplyZen AI-powered review management platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use our Service.

By creating an account or using ReplyZen.app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you register, we collect your email address and name. If you sign in via Google OAuth, we receive your Google profile information (name, email, profile picture).

2.2 Review Platform Data

When you connect a review platform (Google Business Profile, Trustpilot, or other supported platforms), we access the following data through the respective platform API:

  • Business locations — name, address, and identifier of your business locations
  • Reviews — reviewer name, rating, review text, and timestamp
  • Review replies — existing owner replies to reviews

This data is used solely to display reviews in your dashboard and generate AI-suggested replies. OAuth tokens (access and refresh tokens) are encrypted at rest. You can disconnect a platform account at any time, which will remove all cached data from that platform from our system.

2.3 Payment Information

Payments are processed by our third-party payment processors (LemonSqueezy and/or Stripe). We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full payment details. We only receive transaction confirmations, subscription status, and billing email.

2.4 Usage Data & Analytics

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, reply generation counts, and error logs. This data is used to improve the Service.

With your consent (via the cookie banner), we collect the following analytics data for all visitors:

  • IP address — for geographic location (country, city) and fraud prevention
  • Browser & OS — browser name, operating system, device type (desktop/mobile/tablet)
  • Screen resolution — display dimensions and color depth
  • Language & timezone — browser language preference and timezone
  • Device fingerprint — a hashed combination of browser properties (canvas rendering, WebGL renderer, installed plugins, hardware characteristics) used to identify unique devices. This is not a cookie — it is computed from publicly available browser APIs and cannot identify you personally
  • Referrer URL — the website that directed you to our Service
  • UTM parameters — marketing campaign tracking tags from the URL

If you decline cookies via our consent banner, no analytics data is collected. Analytics data is automatically deleted after 90 days.

2.5 AI-Generated Content

When you use the AI reply generation feature, the review text is sent to our AI provider (Google Gemini by default, or your chosen BYOK provider). We do not send personal data — only the review text, your chosen tone, and language preferences.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the ReplyZen.app Service
  • To generate AI-suggested replies to your reviews from connected platforms
  • To publish replies to the connected platform on your behalf (only when you explicitly approve)
  • To send notifications about new reviews (via email and/or Telegram, if enabled by you)
  • To process payments and manage subscriptions
  • To send service-related communications (account verification, security alerts, plan changes)
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • To comply with legal obligations

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers located within the European Union. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL. Sensitive values (API keys, authentication tokens) are encrypted at rest using industry-standard encryption. Access to our infrastructure is restricted and protected by firewall rules and access controls.

While we implement industry-standard security measures, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.

5. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following third-party services only as necessary to provide the Service:

  • Google — OAuth authentication and Google Business Profile API (reviews, replies); Trustpilot — Trustpilot Business API (reviews, replies)
  • LemonSqueezy / Stripe — Payment processing and subscription management
  • AI Providers — Google Gemini (default), or your chosen BYOK provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) — only review text is sent, no personal data
  • Telegram — Optional notification delivery (only if you enable it and provide your Chat ID)

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Review data is cached locally and synced periodically with connected platforms. When you delete your account (via Settings → Delete Account), all your personal data, connected accounts, reviews, and generated replies are permanently deleted within 30 days.

We may retain anonymized, aggregated data (e.g., total number of replies generated) for analytics purposes, which cannot be used to identify you.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & International)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, or other jurisdictions with data protection laws, you have the following rights:

  • Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Erasure — Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Data Portability — Request a machine-readable export of your data
  • Restriction — Request that we limit how we process your data
  • Objection — Object to processing of your data for certain purposes
  • Withdraw Consent — Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
  • Lodge a Complaint — File a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@replyzen.app. We will respond within 30 days.

8. International Data Transfers

Our servers are located within the European Union. When AI reply generation is used, review text may be transmitted to AI providers whose servers may be located outside the EU. These transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions as applicable. When you use your own API keys (BYOK), data transfers to your chosen AI provider are governed by your relationship with that provider.

9. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users without undue delay and no later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach, in accordance with GDPR Article 33. We will also notify the relevant supervisory authority as required by law.

10. AI Transparency

ReplyZen.app uses artificial intelligence to generate suggested review replies. In compliance with the EU AI Act, we disclose that: AI-generated content is clearly labeled as suggestions; no automated decisions with legal effects are made; all AI output must be reviewed and approved by you before publishing. The AI processes only review text, your chosen tone, and language preferences — no personal data is used for AI training.

11. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session and remember your preferences. We also use browser fingerprinting (a non-cookie tracking method) for analytics purposes, subject to your consent via the cookie banner on first visit. For detailed information, please see our Cookie Policy.

12. Children's Privacy

ReplyZen.app is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 16, we will delete it promptly.

13. Google API Services — Limited Use Disclosure

ReplyZen.app's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Specifically:

  • We only use Google data to provide and improve the user-facing features of ReplyZen.app (review management dashboard, AI reply generation, reply publishing)
  • We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide the Service (AI reply generation), with user consent, for security purposes, or to comply with applicable law
  • We do not use Google user data for advertising, marketing, or to build user profiles for any purpose unrelated to the Service
  • We do not sell Google user data to any third party
  • A human can review Google user data only for security purposes, to investigate abuse, to comply with legal requirements, or with the user's affirmative consent

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users of significant changes via email or an in-app notification. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
