Privacy policy

You can browse without an account. Looking at deals, products and price history doesn't require signing in, and we don't build a profile of visitors.

If you create an account, we store:

• Your email address and name. If you sign in with Google, also the link to your Google profile photo (see Google sign-in).
• Your sign-in sessions, each with the IP address and browser type it was created from. This helps keep accounts secure.
• The products you follow, any target prices you set, and your email settings.
• A record of which alerts we've emailed you, so you don't get the same one twice.

If you become a member, payment is handled by Stripe on its own secure pages. We never see or store your card number. From Stripe we keep your Stripe customer ID, your membership status and your renewal date.

If you sign up for the newsletter without an account, we store just your email address and whether you're subscribed.

When you click through to a shop, we add one to a count of clicks on that listing. The count isn't linked to you or your account.

• To sign you in and keep your account working.
• To send the emails you've chosen: sign-in links, price alerts, major-deal alerts and the weekly newsletter. Every marketing email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
• To run memberships through Stripe.
• To keep the site secure and fix problems.

We don't sell or rent your personal information, use it for advertising, or share it with anyone for their own marketing.

If you choose “Continue with Google”, Google shares your name, email address and profile photo link with us. We ask for nothing else: no access to your Gmail, contacts, Drive or any other Google data. We use this information only to create your account and sign you in. We don't share it with anyone else or use it for advertising.

You can remove Tackle Ticker's access at any time from your Google Account's third-party connections page. Deleting your Tackle Ticker account also deletes the Google information we stored.

A few companies process data on our behalf, only as needed to provide their service:

• DigitalOcean hosts the website and database (United States).
• Resend delivers our emails, so it receives your email address and the email content.
• Stripe processes membership payments. Its use of your data is covered by the Stripe privacy policy.
• Google, only if you use Google sign-in.

Affiliate links. Some links to shops go through Skimlinks, an affiliate network, so we may earn a commission if you buy. When you click one, Skimlinks and the shop may set their own cookies to track the purchase, under their own privacy policies. We don't send them your name or email address.

Product photos are loaded directly from the shops' websites, so those sites can see your IP address when an image loads, as with any image on the web.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, for example in response to a valid court order.

Tackle Ticker sets one cookie, and only when you sign in: a session cookie that keeps you signed in. We don't use advertising or analytics cookies, so there's no cookie banner. Stripe's checkout pages and the affiliate links above may set their own cookies on their own sites.

• Account information, follows and alert history: until you delete your account.
• Sign-in sessions: until you sign out, or about a week after you last used the site.
• Newsletter signups: until you unsubscribe. We keep the address marked as unsubscribed so we never email it again by mistake. If you'd rather we erase it completely, email us.
• Payment records: Stripe keeps invoices and payment records as required for tax and accounting, even after your account is deleted.
• Backups of the database are kept for a few weeks, after which deleted data is gone from them too.

You can do all of these yourself, without contacting us:

• Delete your account: on your account page, open “Delete account”. This cancels any membership immediately and deletes your account, follows, alert history and newsletter signup.
• Cancel your membership without deleting your account: “Manage billing or cancel” on your account page.
• Change which emails you get: email settings on your account page, or the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any email.
• See your data: your account page shows your name, email, membership, follows, target prices and email settings. For a full copy, including alert history, email us.

Wherever you live, you can also ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete it by emailing privacy@tackleticker.com. We'll reply within 30 days. We won't treat you differently for using any of these rights.

The site is served only over HTTPS. The database isn't reachable from the internet, and we don't store passwords: you sign in with an emailed link or with Google. No system is perfectly secure, but we'll tell you promptly if a breach affects your information.

Tackle Ticker isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If the change affects how we use information we already have, we'll email account holders before it takes effect.

Questions or requests about your privacy: privacy@tackleticker.com. Billing, refunds and the rules for using the site are in the terms of service.
