This Privacy Policy explains how StackSpeed (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use stackspeed.dev and related services. If you have any questions, contact us at hello@stackspeed.dev.

1. Who We Are

StackSpeed is operated as a sole trader. Our contact address for data-related enquiries is hello@stackspeed.dev.

We are the data controller for personal data collected through this service.

2. What Data We Collect

Account information (via OAuth):

  • Email address
  • Name or display name (if provided by your OAuth provider)
  • Profile avatar URL (if provided by your OAuth provider)
  • OAuth provider identifier (e.g., your GitHub or Google user ID)

We support sign-in via Google, GitHub, Microsoft (Azure AD / Outlook), and Meta. We do not store your OAuth access tokens beyond the session. Authentication is managed exclusively by Supabase Auth.

Usage data:

  • Plugin stacks you build in the simulator (saved stacks, for paid users)
  • Pages visited, features used, and actions performed within the application
  • Browser type, operating system, and approximate geographic region (via IP address)
  • Referring URLs and session duration

Payment information:

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We never receive or store your full card number, CVV, or bank account details. Stripe handles all payment card data under PCI DSS compliance. We receive only a Stripe customer ID and subscription status from Stripe.

Communications:

  • Emails you send to hello@stackspeed.dev
  • Support or feedback submissions via any in-product form

Cookies and similar technologies:

We use cookies for authentication session management, analytics, and preferences. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use personal data for the following purposes:

  • Providing the service: authenticating you, saving your stacks, and delivering the features you use.
  • Analytics: understanding how the product is used so we can improve it. Analytics are collected via Google Analytics 4 through Google Tag Manager. We do not use this data for advertising.
  • Billing and subscriptions: processing payments, managing your subscription tier, and sending invoices or billing notifications via Stripe.
  • Communications: responding to support requests or questions you send us.
  • Security: detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access.
  • Legal compliance: meeting our legal obligations under applicable law.

We do not use your personal data for advertising, nor do we sell it to any third party.

5. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following third-party service providers only to the extent necessary to deliver the service:

  • Supabase, Inc. — database and authentication infrastructure. Your account data and saved stacks are stored in Supabase's PostgreSQL database. Supabase may process data in the US and EU. Supabase Privacy Policy
  • Stripe, Inc. — payment processing. Stripe processes billing information under their own privacy policy and PCI DSS compliance. Stripe Privacy Policy
  • Vercel, Inc. — hosting and content delivery. Your requests are routed through Vercel's infrastructure, which may process IP addresses and request metadata. Vercel operates data centres in the US and EU. Vercel Privacy Policy
  • Google LLC — analytics via Google Analytics 4, deployed through Google Tag Manager. Analytics data (page views, session data, device/browser info) is transmitted to Google's servers. IP anonymisation is enabled. Google Privacy Policy
  • OAuth providers — Google, GitHub (Microsoft), Microsoft Azure AD, and Meta, for authentication only. We receive only the identity information listed in Section 2.

We do not share your data with any other third parties except as required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of StackSpeed, our users, or the public.

6. International Data Transfers

StackSpeed is based in the United Kingdom. Our service providers (Supabase, Stripe, Vercel, Google) may process data in the United States and other countries. Where we transfer personal data outside the UK or EEA, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent adequacy mechanisms as required by applicable data protection law.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service.

  • Account data: retained for the lifetime of your account. Deleted within 30 days of account closure upon request.

  • Payment records: retained for 7 years for legal and tax compliance purposes, even after account closure.
  • Support correspondence: retained for 2 years after resolution.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting hello@stackspeed.dev.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • Row-level security (RLS) enforced at the database layer via Supabase
  • HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
  • No storage of passwords — authentication handled exclusively via OAuth or Supabase Auth
  • No storage of payment card data — all handled by Stripe
  • Access to production data limited to authorised personnel only

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
