Privacy Policy

EC Peer — last updated April 5, 2026

1. Who We Are

EC Peer is a private collaborative platform built for Emergent Coding teams. It provides project management, component tracking, team coordination, and design tools for registered members. The platform includes an optional Telegram bot (@ECPeer_bot) that delivers in-app notifications to users who choose to connect their Telegram account.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the platform:

  • Account data — your display name and any profile details you provide on registration.
  • Telegram ID — if you choose to link your Telegram account, we store your Telegram user ID solely to deliver notifications from the bot.
  • Usage data — actions you take within the platform (projects created, tasks updated, comments posted) are recorded in an activity log to support the collaboration features.
  • Content you create — project descriptions, task notes, component datasheets, and comments that you enter into the platform.

We do not collect payment information, precise location data, or any sensitive personal data.

3. How We Use Your Information
  • To provide, operate, and maintain the EC Peer platform and its features.
  • To send you Telegram notifications about events relevant to your projects and teams — only if you have linked your Telegram account and only for events you are a participant in.
  • To display activity feeds and collaboration history within the platform.
  • To identify you to your teammates within the platform context.

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the platform.

4. Telegram Integration

The @ECPeer_bot Telegram bot is used exclusively to deliver notifications initiated by platform events (such as a new team invitation, a project update, or a new comment). The bot does not read your Telegram messages, does not store chat history, and does not initiate contact beyond the notifications you would expect from your platform activity.

Linking your Telegram account is entirely optional. You may remove your Telegram ID from your profile at any time, which will stop all bot notifications.

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with any third party under any circumstances. Your data is never used for marketing purposes and is never disclosed to external organisations.

The only external service your data touches is the Telegram Bot API (operated by Telegram Messenger Inc.) when you have chosen to link your Telegram account and receive notifications. This communication consists solely of outbound messages containing notification text and is governed by Telegram's own Privacy Policy.

6. Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as your account is active. Activity logs are retained to support collaboration history. If you wish to have your account and associated data removed, please contact the platform administrator.

7. Data Security

Access to the platform is restricted to registered and authenticated users. All data is stored on private infrastructure. We take reasonable technical precautions to protect the data we hold, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all platform communication.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate information via your profile settings.
  • Disconnect your Telegram account at any time from your profile.
  • Request deletion of your account and personal data.
9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the platform after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Cookies

EC Peer uses only strictly necessary cookies required to operate. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies under applicable law, but we disclose them here for full transparency.

  • CSRF token (csrfToken) — a security token that protects form submissions from cross-site request forgery attacks. Set automatically on every page load and rotated per session.

We do not use analytics, advertising, tracking, or any other non-essential cookies.
