At Seedfast, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what measures we take to keep it secure. Please read it carefully before using our Service.

1. Introduction

Seedfast provides an AI-powered command-line tool that automates database seeding. While parts of the process run locally on your machine, certain metadata and schema-related information may be securely transmitted to our servers to generate high-quality synthetic data. We do not collect full database contents unless explicitly required by the feature you are using, and we never access or store production data beyond what is necessary to provide the Service.

2. Information We Collect

Seedfast collects only the data necessary to operate and improve the Service:

• Schema & Structure Information: When you run a seeding operation, certain parts of your database structure (such as table names, column types, relationships, and constraints) may be securely transmitted to our servers to generate synthetic data. We do not collect full table contents or production records, unless explicitly required by a feature and clearly communicated.

• Usage Information: When you use our CLI or visit our website, we may collect basic analytics such as command usage frequency, version updates, and anonymized technical data (e.g., operating system type, CLI version).

• Contact Information: If you create an account, start a trial, or contact us, we may store your name, email address, and related communication details.

Seedfast never stores sensitive database data, passwords, connection strings, or any other information not required for the Service to function.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the Service:
  This includes generating synthetic data, optimizing performance, and enhancing the accuracy of our models.

• Improve product reliability and user experience:
  Analytics and diagnostic data help us debug issues, refine seeding quality, and adjust features based on real usage.

• Communicate with you:
  We may notify you about new features, updates, security improvements, and changes to the Service.

• Provide support:
  Information you choose to share helps us respond to technical issues and support requests.

We do not sell or rent your data to third parties. Any information related to your database schema is used solely for the purpose of generating synthetic data and improving the Service.

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share limited information only under the following circumstances:

• Service Providers:
  We use trusted infrastructure partners (e.g., hosting, analytics, monitoring) who process data on our behalf. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data-processing agreements.

• Legal Requirements:
  We may disclose information if required to comply with applicable laws, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the Service.

Seedfast does not share full database contents, user-generated data, or any unnecessary parts of your schema. Only the minimal structure data needed for seeding is transmitted and processed, and it is never sold or used for unrelated purposes.

5. Data Security

Seedfast is designed with a security-first approach. We take several measures to protect your information:

• Encrypted transmission: Any data sent to our servers (such as schema metadata required for seeding, diagnostic logs, or error reports) is transmitted using industry-standard encryption.

• Secure storage: Data processed on our infrastructure is stored using modern security practices and is accessible only to authorized systems or personnel when necessary.

• Local-first logic: Whenever possible, operations run locally on your machine. Only the information required for generating synthetic data or improving the Service is sent to our servers.

Despite these measures, no digital system can guarantee absolute security. We continuously work to improve our protections, but you acknowledge that some level of risk exists when transmitting data online.

6. Data Retention

We retain only the minimum amount of data necessary to operate and maintain the Service:

• Operational data (such as schema metadata, seed generation requests, or diagnostic logs) may be stored temporarily to complete seeding processes, troubleshoot issues, or improve model performance.

• Account and billing information (email, subscription details) is retained as required for administrative or legal purposes.

• Anonymized analytics data may be stored for longer periods to help us understand product usage and improve the Service.

We do not store full database contents, user-generated data, or any information not required for seeding or product improvement. Retention periods very depending on the type of data and regulatory requirements, and we delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.

• Withdraw consent for data processing.

• Request a copy of your stored data.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@seedfa.st

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website (not the CLI tool) may use cookies to understand visitor behavior and improve the browsing experience. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party pages (e.g., GitHub, documentation). We are not responsible for their privacy practices and recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the Service after changes indicates your acceptance.
