Privacy
What we collect, why we need it, and how to have it removed.
Updated
Before launch, you can submit or suggest a tool through Tally or email us at hello@stackpick.co. We use your submission to review the tool and follow up about it. If you email us, we use your message to respond.
The Short Version
- When the directory launches, you’ll be able to browse it without an account. We don’t show ads or use tracking cookies.
- Before launch, we learn who you are if you submit or suggest a tool or email us. The newsletter is planned for later.
- We use your email for the reason you gave it. We never sell it or share it for marketing.
- Once the directory launches, some links may earn us a commission. We’ll mark them, and they won’t change what we list.
- You can contact us to see, correct or delete what we hold about you.
What We Collect and Why
| When you | We collect | Why | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Join the newsletter (planned) | Your email address, and when and where you signed up | To send you the weekly issue | Until you unsubscribe |
| Submit or suggest a tool | The tool’s details, your name and email, and anything optional you add: an X handle, affiliate details, notes, a logo or a screenshot | To review the tool, list it if it fits, and email you about it | Your contact details: 12 months after we decide. Tool details we publish: while the tool is listed |
| Email us | Your email address and what you write | To reply to you | Up to 2 years |
| Visit the directory once visit counting is enabled | Pages viewed, the site you came from, browser and device type, and country. No cookies, and no profile of you | To see which pages are useful | Only as totals |
| Load any page | Your IP address and browser details, in our host’s server logs | To keep the site running and secure | A short time, set by our host |
When we list a tool, its public details (name, description, pricing, images and links) appear on its page. Your name, email and notes never do.
Who Helps Us
Before launch, we use Tally for submissions, a workspace to review them, an email provider and a website host. We plan to use a newsletter service and a visit-counting service when those features are available. Each one handles your data only to do that job. Some store it outside your country, including in the United States.
Cookies
Stackpick doesn’t set cookies to track you, and the visit counting we plan to use is cookie-free.
Tally may use cookies once you open the submission form, whether it opens in a popup or a new tab. When you follow a link to another site, including a future affiliate link, that site’s own policy applies.
Your Choices and Rights
Once the newsletter is available, every issue will have an unsubscribe link at the bottom. To see, correct or delete what we hold about you, or to object to how we use it, contact us. We reply within 30 days.
Depending on where you live, laws such as the EU and UK GDPR or India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act give you these rights, and the right to complain to your data protection authority.
Children
Stackpick is for people who build products. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you think we have, email us and we’ll delete it.
Changes to This Policy
When we change this policy, we update the date at the top. Once the newsletter is available, we’ll tell subscribers before a change to how we use their email takes effect.
