Privacy Policy
Effective November 12, 2026. ThePromptAcademy LLC (“FreeRips”, “we”) operates FreeRips. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.
What we collect
Account: email address and/or phone number, and your 18+/US attestation. Activity: surveys started and completed (provider, transaction id, timestamps), rip history, vault cards, ship and sell-back requests, and shipping name/address when you request shipment. Technical: IP address, device/browser information, and cookies needed to sign you in and to route surveys (including an anonymous id before sign-in). One-time codes are stored only as hashes.
How we use it
To operate the service (sign-in, crediting surveys, rips, vault, shipping, sell-back), prevent fraud and abuse, comply with provider requirements, communicate about your account, and improve the service. We do not sell personal information.
Sharing
Survey providers (such as BitLabs) receive the identifiers needed to list surveys for you and confirm completions, under their own policies. Service vendors process data for us: Postmark (email codes), Twilio (SMS codes), Render (hosting/database), and shipping carriers for vault shipments. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.
Cookies
We use essential cookies for sign-in sessions and survey routing. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Retention and security
We keep account and transaction records while your account is active and as needed for fraud prevention, provider reconciliation, and legal obligations. Codes expire in minutes and are single-use. Access is limited and credentials are stored hashed or encrypted in transit.
Your choices
Email info@freerips.net to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to close your account. Deletion may not remove records we must keep for fraud, reconciliation, or legal reasons. Unused vault cards should be shipped or sold back before closure; contact us and we will help.
Children
FreeRips is for adults 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; contact us if you believe otherwise.
Changes and contact
We will post updates here with a new effective date. ThePromptAcademy LLC, 14425 Falcon Head Boulevard, Building E, Suite 100, Austin, TX 78738 · info@freerips.net
