--- title: "Privacy policy | PowerGPU" description: "PowerGPU privacy policy: we store an email, a password hash and a usage ledger — no names, no payment PII, no IP retention, no trackers. Short because the data is." url: https://powergpu.ai/legal/privacy last_modified: 2026-09-14T11:04:20+00:00 prices_as_of: 2026-09-14 site: PowerGPU (powergpu.ai) --- Legal · Privacy policy # Privacy policy Most privacy policies are long because the data practices are. Ours fits on one screen because we designed the collection out: crypto payment, no KYC, no IP retention, no trackers. - Effective **2026-09-03** - Version **1.0** - Reading time **3 min** In plain language - We store an email, a password hash, your balance/usage ledger, instance metadata and tickets — nothing else. - No name, address or ID documents (crypto, no KYC); no IP addresses in logs or the database; no trackers or analytics. - We never read your instance disks, volumes or traffic in normal operations; the narrow exceptions are listed in section 4. - Data leaves us only for transactional email delivery, payment infrastructure, or valid legal process. - Export or delete everything yourself from the console; deletion completes after a 90-day accounting window. This summary helps you read the document; the numbered sections below are the binding text. ## 1 · What we store | Data | Why | Kept until | | --- | --- | --- | | Email address | sign-in, service notices, ticket answers | account deletion | | Password (Argon2id hash) | authentication — we never see the password itself | account deletion | | Balance & usage ledger | metering, statements, dispute resolution | account deletion + 90 days | | Instance/volume metadata | operating your resources (not their contents) | resource destruction + 90 days | | Top-up records (coin, amount, tx reference) | crediting and troubleshooting payments | account deletion + 90 days | | Support tickets | answering you, quality | account deletion | | API key hashes & last-use time | authentication, your own audit | key revocation | ## 2 · What we deliberately do not collect - **No identity data** — no name, address, phone, ID documents. Payment is cryptocurrency; there is no KYC process. - **No IP retention** — connection addresses are used transiently to serve requests and are not written to logs or the database. - **No trackers** — no analytics scripts, no advertising pixels, no fingerprinting. The only cookies are the session cookie and a CSRF token on the console. - **No content inspection** — we do not read instance disks, volumes or traffic in the normal course of operations (see §4 for the narrow exceptions). ## 3 · How the data is used To run the Service you asked for: authenticate you, meter usage, credit payments, answer tickets and send the few operational emails that matter (password reset, instances stopped at zero balance, top-up receipts, ticket answers). No marketing lists, no profiling, no sale or rental of data — ever. ## 4 · When data leaves us - **Processors** — a transactional email provider delivers the emails above (recipient and message only); payment infrastructure sees deposit addresses and amounts, never your account data. - **Legal compulsion** — we answer valid legal process with what we hold, which §1 and §2 keep minimal, and we push back on overbroad requests. We cannot hand over what we never collected. - **Abuse response** — investigating a concrete AUP violation may require inspecting the specific resource involved; such access is logged and limited to the incident. ## 5 · Your controls - **Export** — your ledger and account data are downloadable from the console (or via the API) in machine-readable form. - **Deletion** — deleting the account (Settings) destroys resources, erases content cryptographically and removes personal data after the 90-day accounting window. - **Correction** — the email address is editable in Settings; everything else we hold is operational data you generate. - Questions or requests beyond the console's buttons: a [support ticket](https://cloud.powergpu.ai/app/support) reaches the people responsible directly. ## 6 · Legal bases & transfers Where GDPR-style laws apply, processing rests on contract performance (running the Service) and legitimate interest (security, abuse prevention). Data is processed in datacenters under contractual safeguards; the storage footprint in §1 is identical in every region. ## 7 · Changes Material changes are announced in-console 14 days ahead. The changelog of this document lives at the bottom of the page source, dated. Version 1.0, effective 2026-09-03. Material changes are announced in-console 14 days ahead; previous versions are available on request through a support ticket. Questions about this document? Legal questions go through the same authenticated channel as everything else — a support ticket in the console, answered by a human.
