Privacy Policy
Last updated 2026-10-26. This policy is designed to align with the principles of the EU GDPR and Japan's APPI.
This policy explains how BRIDGE BRIGHT PTE. LTD. (UEN 202626245Z, registered at 68 Circular Road, #02-01, Singapore 049422) — the data controller — handles personal data in connection with the Chidori service. As a Singapore company, we are also subject to Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
1. What we collect. The website URL / domain you submit for diagnosis; your email address; diagnosis and report data; and basic usage and security logs (including IP address, device / browser type, and pages viewed). We do not receive or store your full card number — payment details are entered directly with our payment provider.
2. Why we use it (purposes & basis). To provide the Service — run diagnoses, generate and send reports, operate your subscription (basis: performance of our contract); to send lifecycle and marketing emails (basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time); and to improve, secure and troubleshoot the Service (basis: our legitimate interests). We send diagnosis inputs to our providers (section 3) through their APIs under terms that, for OpenAI, Google and Perplexity, state API data is not used to train their models by default; for other providers we send only public business data.
3. Recipients. Stripe acts as merchant of record for your payment and is an independent controller for payment, tax and chargeback data under its own privacy terms. Our processors — who act on our instructions under their service terms or data-processing terms — are: Resend (email delivery; United States); Cloudflare (hosting, including Browser Rendering and KV storage; United States); OpenAI (United States), Perplexity (United States) and Google (Gemini API and Places API; United States), which we use for AI-answer checks and place lookups; and ByteDance Volcengine ARK (China), which may be used for the Chinese-language AI-answer check — it receives the venue's public name, address and website, never your email address. Stripe (Singapore / United States) is the merchant of record, described above. To look up public listings we also send the venue name, address and website URL you submit to Recruit HotPepper (Japan), Rakuten (Japan) and TripAdvisor (United States). We do not sell your personal data or share it for others' marketing. We may also disclose data where required by law or in connection with a corporate transaction (see the Terms).
4. International transfers. Your data is processed in Singapore (our operations) and may be processed by our providers in other countries, including the United States. For users in the EU / UK, we rely on the EU-US / UK Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, and otherwise on Standard Contractual Clauses (a copy is available on request). For our own Singapore processing we apply SCCs or equivalent safeguards. Information on each destination country and the recipients' protective measures is available on request.
Japan (APPI Article 28). Personal data you provide (for example a sole proprietor's venue name and address, and your email address) may be transferred to the countries named in section 3 — the United States, China, Japan and Singapore. By ticking the consent box you consent to this transfer. The data-protection framework that applies to each provider is that of the country in which it operates; we do not claim that any of these frameworks is adequate or equivalent to Japan's APPI.

5. Retention. While your subscription is active, your account and reports are retained. For inactive accounts, diagnosis / report data is deleted approximately 180 days after your last activity. Usage and security logs are retained for up to 12 months. Billing, tax and other records we are legally required to keep are retained for the periods the law requires.
6. Your rights. Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a portable copy of your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email us below. A signed-in user can delete their account and data from the Delete account control on your /account page; deletion requests sent by email are completed within 30 days. every marketing email also carries an unsubscribe link. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority — in the EU / EEA, your national supervisory authority; in Japan, the Personal Information Protection Commission (PPC); in Singapore, the PDPC.
7. Cookies. We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the site, security, and checkout to function. Our own cookies are a session cookie (httpOnly) that keeps you signed in, and a navigation-hint cookie named cg_in (90 days, not HttpOnly) set after login or checkout, which only switches the “Log in” link to “Dashboard”; it holds no token or email address and is not used for tracking. Our payment and security providers (Stripe, Cloudflare) may set their own strictly-necessary cookies, some of which are also used for cross-site fraud prevention. We set no advertising cookies.
8. Security & breaches. We use reputable infrastructure providers and reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. If a breach affecting your personal data occurs, we will notify affected users and the relevant authority as required by law.
9. Automated decisions & children. Our diagnosis analyses your website, not you as an individual; we do not make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you. The Service is not directed to children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
10. Changes. We will post updates here with a new "last updated" date and notify you of material changes where appropriate.
11. Contact. Privacy questions or requests: [email protected]. Our data-protection contact and, where applicable, EU / UK representative can be reached at the same address. Customers in Japan may also refer to our Japanese-language disclosures on the 特定商取引法に基づく表記 page.
