Privacy policy
The short version
- We store your saved posts so we can sort and search them for you. That's the whole product.
- We never sell your data, show you ads, or let anyone train AI models on it.
- The browser extension reads only your own saved pages, and only when you click Sync.
- Delete your account in Settings and your data is gone from our database straight away.
What we collect and why
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Account details: your name, profile picture, username and email address, and which sign-in methods you use (Google, email link, X). | To create your account, sign you in and send the emails you choose to get. |
| Your saves: the posts you saved on X, LinkedIn, Threads and other sources, including their text, links, images, and the public name and handle of who posted them. Plus what you add: notes, topics, done/later marks, your stack page. | This is the service: one searchable, sorted library of what you saved. |
| Connection details: if you connect X, an access token that lets us read your bookmarks. It's encrypted before it's stored. Extension pairing tokens are stored only as a one-way hash. | To sync your saves automatically on paid plans. |
| Billing details: your plan, its status and renewal date. Card details go to Paddle, never to us. | To give you the plan you pay for. |
| Basic usage: when you last visited, which weekly emails we sent, and search text you type in the public demo. | To show "new since your last visit", avoid sending the same email twice, and run the demo. Demo searches aren't stored. |
Our legal bases under UK GDPR: providing the service you signed up for (contract), keeping it secure and working (legitimate interests), and your choice for optional things like the weekly email, which you can turn off at any time.
Cookies and storage
We use one essential cookie to keep you signed in. Your browser also stores a few preferences on your device (theme, card or list view). There are no advertising or tracking cookies, and no analytics scripts.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while you have an account. When you delete your account (Settings, then Delete all data), your saves, notes and account are removed from our database immediately. Copies in our database provider's automatic backups expire within 30 days. Paddle keeps billing records for as long as tax law requires.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Paid plans can export from Settings at any time; on any plan you can message us on X at @getsolostackd for a full copy. We'll reply within one month. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Children
stashd isn't meant for anyone under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect.
