Privacy Policy
Effective 24 July 2026
What we collect, why we collect it, and who else sees it. We collect as little as the product allows.
1. What we collect
| Data | Where it comes from | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address, display name, avatar URL | GitHub or Google, when you sign in | To identify your account |
| The questions you ask | You | To generate an answer |
| Daily question counts and token usage | Automatically | To monitor running costs and fair use |
motop is free, so there is nothing to pay and no payment information is collected at all. If you choose to tip through a third-party tipping service, that happens entirely on their site under their privacy policy — we never see your card details and receive no personal data from it. We do not use advertising or analytics trackers.
2. Your questions are sent to a third party
To answer you, the text of your question is transmitted to Anthropic, which operates the language model behind motop. Do not include passwords, API keys, private keys, customer data, or anything else confidential in a question.
3. Who else processes your data
| Processor | What they do |
|---|---|
| Anthropic | Processes the questions you ask so motop can answer them. Question text is sent to Anthropic's API. |
| GitHub / Google | Sign-in providers. We receive your email address, display name and avatar — nothing else. |
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with anyone beyond the processors above.
4. Cookies
We use a single essential cookie to keep you signed in. There are no advertising, profiling, or third-party analytics cookies, so there is nothing to consent to or opt out of.
5. How long we keep it
- Account details — retained while your account is active. Deletion requests are processed within 30 days.
- Usage counts — retained in aggregate for cost and capacity planning.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, to object to processing, and to complain to a data protection authority. To exercise any of these, email [email protected] from your account address and we will respond within 30 days.
7. Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Sign-in is delegated to GitHub and Google, so we never handle or store your password. Access to the production database is restricted to the operator.
No system is perfectly secure. If we discover a breach affecting your data, we will notify you and any required authority without undue delay.
8. Children
Server Deck is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
9. Changes
We will update this page if our practices change, and revise the effective date above. Material changes will be notified by email.
