Privacy Policy
1. What Data We Collect
StackScrape collects the following types of data:
- IP Addresses: We automatically collect your IP address when you visit our site for security and analytics purposes.
- Analytics Data: We use Plausible Analytics (privacy-friendly, GDPR-compliant) to collect anonymous usage data including page views, referral sources, and general device/browser information.
- Usage Data: We track which pages you visit, how you interact with features (such as search, filters, and app details), and session duration.
We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, emails, or account data unless you explicitly provide it (e.g., via contact forms).
2. Cookies
StackScrape uses minimal cookies:
- Analytics Cookies: Plausible Analytics uses a first-party cookie to track unique visitors without personally identifying you.
- Functional Cookies: We may use cookies to remember user preferences (e.g., dark mode, filters).
We do not use third-party tracking cookies or ad networks.
3. Third Parties
We share data with the following third parties:
- Plausible Analytics: Privacy-focused analytics provider. No personal data is shared. Data is stored in the EU. Learn more.
- Affiliate Programs: When you click on affiliate links (e.g., to Shopify apps), you may be redirected to third-party websites that have their own privacy policies. We earn a commission on qualifying purchases.
