- Telegram identity — your Telegram user ID, collected when you pair your account with a bot.
- Subscription data — billing details processed and stored by Stripe. We do not store payment card information.
- Usage data — basic logs of API requests for debugging and service reliability.

3. Third-Party Services
We share data with the following third parties as necessary to operate the service:

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.
4. Data Security
Bot tokens are encrypted at rest. Access to production systems is restricted and audited. We use HTTPS for all data in transit. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
