Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

StackScape(“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that data.

What We Collect

  • Email address — if you subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Payment information — processed securely through Stripe when you purchase a featured listing. We never store card details on our servers.
  • Usage analytics — we use Umami, a privacy-focused, self-hosted analytics platform. It collects anonymous page-view data with no personal identifiers.
  • Votes — tool votes are stored locally in your browser and are not linked to any account or identity.

How We Use Your Data

  • Send you newsletters you opted into.
  • Process featured-listing payments.
  • Understand aggregate site usage to improve the directory.

Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of trusted services:

  • Stripe — payment processing. Subject to Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
  • Resend — email delivery for newsletters.
  • Umami — self-hosted analytics. No data is shared with third parties.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies. An authentication session cookie may be set if you interact with authenticated features. Umami analytics is privacy-focused and does not use cookies — it works cookieless by design.

Affiliate Links

Some links on StackScape are affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us keep the directory free and up to date. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial decisions.

Data Retention

  • Email addresses are stored until you unsubscribe. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every newsletter.
  • Payment recordsare retained per Stripe’s data retention policies and applicable legal requirements.
  • Analytics data is aggregated and anonymous — no personal data is retained.
