1. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you register for AffiliScribe, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored in hashed form). If you subscribe to a paid plan, Stripe processes your payment information — we do not store credit card numbers directly.

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including:
- Features used and frequency of use (Product Analyzer, Niche Scout, Content Generator, etc.)
- Products analyzed and articles generated

We store the content you create through the Service, including product analyses, article angles, generated articles, affiliate links, and WordPress site configurations. This data is necessary to provide the Service and is associated with your account.

WordPress app passwords and API credentials are stored encrypted in our database and are never exposed through our user interface.
