Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 20, 2026

1. Data We Collect

Account data (collected at signup)

  • Email address
  • Tenant name (company or project name)
  • Payment information (stored by Stripe — Thane stores only a Stripe customer ID)

Usage data (collected during platform use)

  • Dashboard access logs (page views, actions taken)
  • API call logs (action, timestamp, success/failure — request bodies are not logged)
  • Deployment history (commit SHA, build status, deploy status)
  • Infrastructure metrics (CPU, memory, request count — aggregated, not individual request data)

Data we do not collect

  • Application code (stored in your GitHub, built ephemerally)
  • Application data (stored in your RDS instance in your own AWS account)
  • End-user data (passes through your application — Thane has no access or visibility)
  • Environment variable values (stored in your Secrets Manager, encrypted — Thane does not log or exfiltrate values)

2. Data Storage and Location

Data Type Storage Location Encryption
Account data DynamoDB (us-east-1) AWS-managed KMS
Payment data Stripe Stripe encryption
Usage/audit logs CloudWatch Logs (us-east-1) AWS-managed KMS
Application data Your AWS account Per-account KMS
Build artifacts ECR (your AWS account) AWS-managed KMS

All data is stored in us-east-1. Customer application data is in your own AWS account — Thane's control plane stores references (IDs, status) but not the data itself.

3. Data Retention

Data Type Retention Period
Account data Active subscription + 30-day grace + 90-day compliance hold
Deployment/app/build logs Per plan (7–90 days, rolling deletion)
Billing records 7 years (legal requirement)
Support tickets 3 years after resolution
Infrastructure metrics 15 months (CloudWatch default)

4. Data Deletion

On account closure

After a 30-day grace period, your AWS account is recycled (all tenant-specific resources wiped) or closed. Account data in DynamoDB is marked for deletion and purged after the 90-day compliance retention period. Billing records are retained for 7 years per legal requirements. Aggregated, anonymized usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.

On graduation

Thane's management access is removed. You retain all data in your AWS account. Thane retains account metadata and billing records per the retention schedule above but has no access to your application data.

5. Your Rights

  • Access — Request an export of all account data Thane holds (provided within 30 days).
  • Correction — Update account information via the dashboard or support.
  • Deletion — Close your account and data is deleted per the retention schedule. You can request accelerated deletion of non-legally-required data.
  • Portability — Account data exported as JSON. Application data is already in your own AWS account.

Requests should be directed to privacy@usethane.com.

6. Third-Party Data Sharing

Thane shares customer data only with:

Third Party Data Shared Purpose
Stripe Email, name, payment info Payment processing
AWS Account metadata AWS account management
Email provider Email address Transactional emails

Thane does not sell customer data. Thane does not share customer data with advertisers.

7. Cookies

Thane's dashboard uses cookies for:

  • Session token — Authentication (essential, 24 hours)
  • CSRF token — Security (essential, session duration)
  • Preferences — Dashboard settings (functional, 1 year)

Thane does not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or cross-site tracking.

8. Changes to This Policy

Thane may update this Privacy Policy with 30 days' notice via email. Material changes require your explicit acceptance at next dashboard login. Non-material changes take effect automatically after the notice period.
