Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 19, 2026. Short version: we collect only what’s needed to ship your app. We don’t sell data. We don’t track you with third-party cookies.

1. What we collect

We collect the following, only when you give it to us:

  • Checkout data — handled entirely by Stripe. Publishd receives an email address, tier, and customer ID from Stripe’s webhook or dashboard. We never see your full card number.
  • Chat transcripts — messages you type into the help bot are sent to Groq for generating the reply. Transcripts are stored in your browser (localStorage); if you opt in, a copy is forwarded to Daniel via email so we can continue the conversation.
  • App materials — any URL, repository, file, asset, credential, or description you hand us during an engagement.
  • Contact details — email, phone (if you share it), business name.

We do not use analytics cookies. We do not use advertising trackers.

2. Why we collect it

  • To deliver the service you paid for (submission, rebuild, coaching, rescue).
  • To handle billing and refunds via Stripe.
  • To respond to support questions and kick off new engagements.

3. Who we share it with

Short list:

  • Stripe — for payment processing (stripe.com/privacy).
  • Groq — for the help-bot replies (groq.com/privacy-policy). Groq states it does not retain prompts for model training.
  • Cloudflare — hosts the site and routes email (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy).
  • Apple & Google — only the specific app materials and metadata required to submit your app to their platforms, under their terms.

We do not sell personal data. We do not share your source code, credentials, or business information with anyone beyond the scope above.

4. How long we keep it

  • Payment records: retained as required by Stripe and US tax law.
  • App source code and credentials: retained only during the engagement plus 30 days for post-launch support, then deleted or returned to you.
  • Chat transcripts on the server: not retained beyond the reply cycle unless you opt into email follow-up.

5. Your rights

You can email daniel@publishd.app at any time to:

  • See what we have on you.
  • Correct or update any record.
  • Delete your records (where not required to retain by law).
  • Withdraw consent for any non-required processing.

Requests are actioned within 30 days.

6. Children

Publishd is not designed for or directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data, email us and we will delete it.

7. Cookies

We use a single first-party cookie for session state if you log into a future customer portal. No third-party advertising or analytics cookies are set by publishd.app.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. The version in effect when you interact with us governs. Material changes get announced on this page with an updated date.

9. Contact

Privacy questions or requests: daniel@publishd.app.
