As part of the sign-up process, we use Google's reCAPTCHA service which is essential to prevent automated bot registrations. Google's use of the data processed by reCAPTCHA is described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
The email address you provide is stored and is used as a unique identifier for you to login. It is also used to send you emails in relation to your use of the service, ask for your feedback, and inform you of changes and enhancements to our services.
The password you choose is salted, hashed and stored. This hash is used every time you login to authenticate that the person logging in and claiming to be you, really is you.
We also create a unique UserID (think GUID) for your account. This is used reference your account and for internal administration.
Data related to logging in is retained until your account is deleted.

Other than Stripe Payments Europe and Sage, all these third-parties operate outside the UK or EEA. For EU-based customers, we have executed agreements that incorporate the European Commission’s revised Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with all third-parties to provide the necessary protection for personal data relating to you. For UK-based customers, the previous Commission SCCs approved by the ICO are still effective.
We have undertaken a Transfer Impact Assessment in respect of the transfer of personal data to the US and assessed that the risk of US authorities’ lawful access to this data is negligible. However, it is important to remember that the only personal data processed by all these third parties is your email address and the other data related to logging in.
As you'd expect from a company run by Scott, we're pretty serious about security. Although the systems we run process minimal personal data -- just your email address, password hash and a payment token -- our systems are designed, built, and operated securely.
We are certified against the UK's Cyber Essentials standard and our security is regularly tested by independent parties. You can read about our latest penetration test here.

Although changes are likely to be minor, we may change our Privacy Policy from time to time, at our sole discretion. We'd encourage you to frequently check this page for any changes to this Privacy Policy.
The data that we receive from your customers' browsers and email gateways in telemetry and violation reports may constitute the personal data of your users or customers. Only you are able to make this determination and you should seek professional advice, we are not able to advise you.
There are two questions you need to consider:
Typically, there are five types of data that are received by Report-URI which, for you, may be the personal data of visitors to your website. These are:
From a security and privacy perspective we would discourage anyone from including Personal Data in a URI, Fragment or Query String.
If you determine that Report-URI processes the personal data of your customers, and that therefore in GDPR terms, you are the Controller for this data, and Report-URI will act as your Processor, you must agree to amending our Terms of Service by incorporating our Data Processing Agreement after you upgrade from a free account.
You should determine that the reporting and data management functionality provided by Report-URI allows you to fulfil your obligations as a Controller.
Further information about the privacy implications of telemetry and violation reporting is available in the following detailed technical standards and RFC documents.
| Standard | RFC Document |
|---|---|
| General W3C Reporting API | https://www.w3.org/TR/reporting/#privacy |
| Content Security Policy (CSP) | https://www.w3.org/TR/CSP3/#security-considerations |
| Network Error Logging (NEL) | https://www.w3.org/TR/network-error-logging/#privacy-considerations |
| Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) | https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7489#section-9 |
| Transport Layer Security for Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP over TLS) | https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8460#section-8 |
| Certificate Transparency (CT) | https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6962 |
The forensic reporting option in DMARC (ruf) will expose the private information contained in an email. Report-URI does not support this option.
We have detailed further observations about a Controller's use of Report-URI as a Processor which is available in this document Report-URI and Data Protection.
