Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Textsure ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you ("User" or "you") access and use our website or services (collectively, the "Service").
Textsure provides independent academic detection and report-checking services, but it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Turnitin, LLC.
1. Information We Collect
When you use our Service, we may collect the following categories of information:
(1) Information You Provide
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when purchasing or using the Service, such as:
- Order or transaction details (order ID, purchase token, price, currency, date, and usage count);
- Basic identifiers (such as username or device ID, if applicable);
- Submitted text or files for detection, and report content saved in your account as described below.
(2) Automatically Collected Information
When you access our website or platform, we may automatically collect:
- Device information (model, OS, browser version, IP address, language);
- Usage logs (access time, usage duration, click records, crash logs);
- Referrer URLs and general location (if available).
This information helps us operate, secure, and improve the Service.
2. How We Use the Information
We use collected data for the following purposes:
- To provide the Service — including processing detection requests and generating reports.
- To ensure system performance and security.
- To handle payments and order validation.
- To analyze aggregated usage data for improving accuracy and efficiency.
- To comply with legal obligations (e.g., fraud prevention or responding to lawful requests).
We do not use uploaded content for model training, resale, or advertising purposes.
3. Data Retention and Deletion
Original uploads are used for processing, not saved as separate files in your report library. Temporary-file cleanup runs after text extraction or processing; interrupted uploads or unsuccessful cleanup may leave temporary copies for later removal.
Reports saved to your account may include the reviewed document, submitted text or selected excerpts. Completed account reports have no automatic expiry. Delete Quick AI and ZeroGPT reports from their result pages; contact [email protected] to request deletion of Turnitin or iThenticate reports.
Turnitin, iThenticate and ZeroGPT checks run through Textsure’s integrations. Documents checked through Textsure are not added to comparison repositories. The systems that performed the check handle their processing data under their own terms; deleting Textsure’s copy does not itself delete those records.
Order and usage records may be stored for accounting or legal compliance.
Users may request data deletion related to their account or order history, subject to verification.
4. Sharing of Personal Information
We may share limited personal data with trusted third-party service providers who support our operations, such as:
- Payment processors (for handling payments securely);
- Server and hosting providers (for running our platform);
- Data analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, used to understand website usage and improve the service.
These partners process information on our behalf and are contractually required to protect your data in compliance with this Policy.
We do not sell, rent, or trade user data to any third party.
5. Cross-Border Data Transfers
Your information may be stored or processed on servers located outside your country of residence. By using our Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to such locations, where privacy laws may differ.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Maintain your session and security;
- Analyze site usage for performance improvement.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of the Service may not function properly as a result.
7. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Users)
For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, we process personal data on the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract (to provide the Service);
- Legitimate interests (to operate and improve the Service);
- Legal obligations (to comply with applicable law).
8. Disclaimer
Textsure provides academic text analysis and report-checking services, but we are not affiliated with Turnitin, LLC, and do not represent or guarantee the accuracy or completeness of results. Detection results are for reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for academic or disciplinary decisions.
