Privacy Policy
Last updated 31 July 2026
This policy explains what The Sev-1 Database collects, why, and who else touches it. The short version: we keep the minimum needed to run accounts and subscriptions, we never see or store your card number, and we don't sell your data.
What we collect
When you create an account we store:
- Your email address, and your name if you provide one.
- A one-way hash of your password (PBKDF2). We never store the password itself and cannot recover it.
- Your subscription tier and when it expires.
- Identifiers our payment processor gives us for your customer and subscription, so we can match a payment to your account.
- Account timestamps (created, updated).
If you send us a message through the contact form, we store the name, email, and message you submit so we can reply.
What we do not collect
We never receive or store your card number, CVC, or bank details. All payment card data is handled directly by Stripe. We do not run advertising trackers or sell personal data to anyone.
Stored on your device
After you sign in, your browser keeps a sign-in token in local storage so you stay logged in, and a small preference for your light/dark theme choice. These stay on your device; clearing your browser storage removes them.
Who processes your data
- Stripe — processes payments and holds your card details under its own privacy terms. We receive only non-sensitive identifiers and subscription status.
- Cloudflare — hosts the site and the account database, and serves it globally.
- Our email provider — if email is enabled, sends account emails such as a welcome message to the address you signed up with.
These providers act on our behalf and are not permitted to use your data for their own marketing.
Why we can hold it
We process account and payment data to provide the Service you asked for and to meet our legal and accounting obligations. We keep it while your account is active and for as long afterwards as we are required to for records and tax.
Your choices
You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and its data — subject to any records we must keep by law. Send the request from the contact page using your account email so we can verify it. You can cancel billing yourself at any time from the billing portal.
Changes
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above changes with it. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
