TariffMax ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered U.S. import duty calculator app (the "App"). By accessing or using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide and improve our services, including tariff rate estimates, HTS classification, and policy analysis.
Personal Information
- Account Data: When you register or subscribe (e.g., SuperGrok tier), we collect your name, email address, and payment information (processed securely via third-party providers like Stripe).
- Usage Data: We log interactions such as HS code queries, country selections, toggles (e.g., USMCA qualifying), and user-generated descriptions for classification.
- Technical Data: Automatically collected includes IP address, browser type, device ID, and app usage metrics (e.g., via Google Analytics).
Non-Personal Information
- Aggregate Data: Anonymized stats on queries (e.g., popular HS codes) for app improvements.
- API Interactions: Data sent to Grok API (e.g., policy texts, HTS descriptions) is processed by xAI under their terms; we do not store raw API responses unless for your saved records.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (e.g., race, health) unless voluntarily provided in descriptions, which you should avoid.
2. How We Use Your Information
- Service Delivery: To calculate duties, classify HTS codes, generate reports/PDFs, and provide AI insights.
- Improvements: Analyze usage to enhance accuracy (e.g., refine Grok prompts).
- Communications: Send updates, policy alerts, or support (opt-out available).
- Compliance: Retain logs for legal obligations (e.g., audit trails for enterprise users).
- Security: Detect fraud/abuse.
3. Sharing Your Information
- Service Providers: With xAI (Grok API), Stripe (payments), and cloud hosts (e.g., AWS) under strict data processing agreements.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect rights/safety.
- Business Transfers: In mergers/acquisitions, your data may transfer but under this Policy.
- No Sales: We do not sell your data.
4. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to protect data. However, no system is 100% secure—report breaches via support@tariffmax.net.
5. Your Rights
- Access/Update/Delete: Email support@tariffmax.net for data requests.
- Opt-Out: From marketing via unsubscribe links.
