Who we are
XenonFlare ("we", "us") operates xenonflare.com, an open-source product discovery community. This policy explains what data we process when you browse, sign in, submit projects, upvote, or comment.
Information we collect
- Account data — when you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address, and profile photo from Google, and you may set a username, bio, and profile links.
- Content you provide — project submissions, descriptions, logos/gallery URLs, comments, and votes.
- Technical data — session cookies, approximate device/browser information, and standard server logs needed to operate and secure the service.
How we use information
- Authenticate you and keep you signed in
- Display public profiles, projects, votes, and comments

- Operate, secure, debug, and improve XenonFlare
- Comply with legal obligations when required
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your content for third-party advertising.
Sharing
We use infrastructure providers to run the service (notably Google Firebase for authentication, database, storage, and hosting). They process data on our behalf under their terms. Project and profile content you publish is public by design. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the platform and users.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication and session security. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Data retention
We retain account and content data while your account is active and as needed to operate the service. You may update profile information in Account. To request deletion of your account or associated personal data, contact us using the details below.
Your choices
- Edit your public profile and username from Account
- Sign out to end your session on this device
- Revoke Google access from your Google account settings
Children
XenonFlare is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
International processing
Data may be processed in the United States and other countries where our providers operate. By using XenonFlare you understand that your information may be transferred to those locations.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
