Privacy
No cookies, no trackers, no stored IP addresses. Here is the whole list of what we keep, why we keep it, and how to make us delete it.
Version 2026-09-15. Written to describe what this service actually does. When we change it we change the version date, and anyone with an account is emailed before a material change takes effect. Questions: [email protected].
The short version
We collect an email address if you make an account, whatever Stripe tells us about your subscription, and a deliberately blunt record of which pages are being read. We set no cookies, we run no third-party analytics, there are no ad trackers on this site, and we do not store your IP address. We have never sold data about a person and the business does not have a version of itself where that makes sense.
What we actually collect
- Your account. The email address you sign up with, and a name if you give one. Sign-in is a link emailed to you; the token that keeps you signed in lives in your own browser's local storage, not in a cookie.
- Billing. Handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We keep the Stripe customer, subscription and invoice identifiers, the plan you are on, and whether it is paid — which is what the dashboard reads.
- API usage. A per-day count of calls and credits, by endpoint, so we can meter the plan.
- Page reads. The path of the page, with any query string stripped before it is stored; the hostname of the site you came from, never the full referring URL; a two-letter country code from Cloudflare; and the date. That is the whole record. There is no visitor identifier in it, so it cannot be reassembled into a person's browsing history.
- Email delivery. Whether a message we sent you was delivered, so a bounced receipt is not silently lost.
- Agreement records. If you accept these documents while signed in, we store the version and the time, with your IP address hashed rather than kept.
Why we are allowed to
Account and billing data: because we need it to give you the thing you bought. Usage counts: the same. Page reads: our legitimate interest in knowing which pages are worth maintaining, served by a record too coarse to identify anyone.
Who else touches it
- Stripe — payments, and the card details we never receive.
- Cloudflare — hosting, the database and file storage.
- Resend — sending email.
That is the list. No advertising networks, no data brokers, no analytics vendor. We do not sell or rent personal data, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing.
How long we keep it
Account and billing records for as long as you have an account, and afterwards only as long as tax and accounting rules require. Page-read counts are aggregate and kept indefinitely because they identify nobody. Sign-in links expire quickly by design.
What you can ask for
A copy of what we hold, a correction, or deletion. Email [email protected] from the address on the account and we will do it within thirty days. Deleting an account removes the account and its data; invoices we are required to retain for tax purposes are the exception, and we will tell you which those are. Depending on where you live you may also have the right to object, to restrict processing, or to complain to a regulator.
There is no self-serve delete button yet. Until there is, a person reads the email and does it by hand — which is slower and which we would rather say than imply otherwise.
Children
This is a service for people doing professional work. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under 16.
Where it is processed
On infrastructure in the United States. If you are in the UK or EEA, using the service means your data is handled there, under the terms our processors offer for international transfers.
