# Privacy Policy, explained

At coherence, we care about your privacy and want to explain it in plain language. This page gives you the quick version of what we do with your data and why. If you’d like all the details, you can read our full [Privacy Policy](https://coherence.io/privacy).

## What we collect

When you use our tools, services, or website, we may collect some information: the basics you give us (like your name or email) and some technical information (like your device and IP address). If you sign up for an account or make payments, we need that info too.

## Why we collect it

Mostly so things work properly and to create and manage your account, process payments, fix problems, and keep improving our products. Sometimes we’ll send important updates, and if you’ve agreed to it, news and events too.

## Who we share it with

We only share your data with trusted partners who help us run our services (like hosting or payments). If you play a game powered by coherence, some data might go to that game’s developer, or the developer sends us some of your data. If laws require it, we may share it with authorities.

## How long we keep it

Just as long as we need it. If your account is closed, or you ask us to delete your data, we’ll do so unless the law says otherwise.

## Your choices

You’re in control. You can see your data, update it, ask us to delete it, or opt out of marketing. Just email us at **<privacy@coherence.io>**.

## How we protect it

We use a variety of safeguards to keep your data safe, including firewalls, network segmentation and data encryption. If you have an account, keeping your password private helps too.

## In short

We collect only what we need, use it to make our services better, share it responsibly, and always give you control.

## Want the full details?

This summary is just that – a summary. It’s here to give you a clear picture of how we handle your data, but it doesn’t replace the full [Privacy Policy](https://coherence.io/privacy), which contains all the details and legal terms.
