Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 28, 2026

At ChipPilot ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

Design Data

ChipPilot does not store, transmit, or retain your RTL source code, design files, or verification artifacts on our servers. All design processing happens locally on your machine or within your private infrastructure. When using cloud LLM providers, only sanitized prompts are sent — never raw design data.

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services
• Process transactions and send related information
• Send technical notices, updates, and support messages
• Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve user experience
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers who assist in operating our services (hosting, analytics, payment processing)
• Legal authorities when required by law or to protect our rights
• Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• TLS encryption for all data in transit
• Encryption at rest for stored data
• Regular security audits and penetration testing
• Role-based access controls for internal systems
• SOC 2 Type II compliance (in progress)

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Account data is deleted within 30 days of account closure. Aggregated, anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for analytics purposes.

6. Your Rights

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

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@chippilot.dev.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and preferences (such as theme selection). We do not use third-party tracking cookies. Analytics data is collected using privacy-respecting tools that do not track individual users across websites.

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
