Privacy policy

This page describes the privacy policy for:

What data is collected?

We may collect the following data:

  • The email address entered during checkout.

We do not store cookies ourselves, but the third parties listed below might.

Cloudflare

The Slinky website and Slinky API both serve all traffic through Cloudflare’s network. Cloudflare may collect data or store cookies.

For more information, visit their Privacy Policy.

Stripe

Slinky uses Stripe to handle payments. Stripe will collect your payment and billing information. We only share information with Stripe when you actually choose it as payment provider during checkout.

For more information, visit their Privacy Policy.

BTCPayServer

Slinky uses a self-hosted BTCPayServer instance for handling cryptocurrency payments. No information is shared with third parties if you choose it as payment provider on checkout.

Postmark

The Slinky API uses Postmark to deliver the email containing your license key and download link after you have paid, meaning that we have to share your email address with Postmark.

For more information, visit their Privacy Policy.

What is the collected data used for?

  • Your email address is collected to deliver the product after payment. When paying via BTCPayServer, it is also used as a way to associate users with their payments (otherwise, customer support would be very difficult).

How long will the collected data be stored?

  • For payments through Stripe: We do not store your email address, it is accessed to deliver the product and then immediately discarded.
  • For payments through BTCPayServer: Your email address is stored for 30 days.

The third-party providers that we use may retain data for a longer time.

How is the data secured?

  • We do not store sensitive billing information (such as credit card numbers) ourselves, meaning it can’t be stolen if our server(s) are breached.
  • Email addresses used in BTCPayServer payments are stored on a separate server that is used exclusively for payment processing.

Please keep in mind that this only applies to the data that we store ourselves, not the data collected by third parties.
