We only use cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of this website. These include security and bot-protection cookies set by Cloudflare (including Cloudflare Turnstile), session cookies set by Supabase for authentication, and cookies set by Userback, which powers our feedback widget and contact form.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of this page.

7. Server Log Files

When you visit our website, technical information is automatically collected and stored in server log files. The following information may be recorded:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Requested pages and files
  • HTTP status codes

This information is required to ensure the security, stability, and proper operation of our services. Processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

8. User Accounts and Registration

To access PayGlue services, users may create an account. During registration and account use, we may process name, email address, login credentials, account settings, subscription information, and customer account data. This processing is necessary to provide our services and fulfill contractual obligations pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

9. Authentication

Dashboard sign-in is handled by Supabase (see Section 5). You can sign in with an email one-time code, or via single sign-on with Google or GitHub.

If you choose single sign-on, we receive only the information the provider shares with us (typically name, email address, and a provider account identifier):

• Google: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland — Privacy Policy
• GitHub: GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Jr. Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA — Privacy Policy

10. Customer and Contract Data

We process personal data necessary to establish, perform, and manage contractual relationships. This may include name, contact details, billing information, order and subscription information, customer communication, support requests, and transaction records. Processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

11. Payments

Creem (our subscription billing)

We use Creem.io to process payments for your PayGlue subscription. When you subscribe, your payment and billing details are handled directly by Creem; PayGlue only stores a reference identifier to that billing relationship, not your card or bank details.
Privacy Policy

Payment providers you connect

When you (as a PayGlue customer) connect your own payment provider (for example Polar, Lemon Squeezy, Creem, Patreon, or Ko-fi), that provider processes your end-customers' payments directly and independently. PayGlue is not their payment processor; we only receive a signed webhook notification after a transaction has already been completed, in order to grant, renew, or revoke the matching Ghost membership. You engage each connected provider under their own terms and privacy policy.

12. Email Communication

Resend

We use Resend (Resend, Inc.) to send transactional service emails, such as login codes and account or subscription notifications, to your account email address. Resend processes your email address and the content of these messages to deliver them.
Privacy Policy

Brevo

We use Brevo (Sendinblue SAS) solely for our own blog newsletter. We publish at payglue.io/blog, and the subscriber list is held in the Ghost site at blog.payglue.io, which also runs as our live demo. If you subscribe to the newsletter, Brevo processes your email address to deliver it. Brevo is not used for the PayGlue service itself.
Privacy Policy

13. Customer Support and Communication

If you contact us for support, we process the information you provide to handle your request and provide customer assistance. Our in-app feedback widget and contact form are powered by Userback (Userback Pty Ltd). The information processed may include name, email address, account information, support messages, attachments, and communication history.
Userback Privacy Policy

14. Analytics

PostHog

We use PostHog, a product analytics service provided by PostHog, Inc., hosted in the EU (eu.posthog.com). It helps us understand how our website and dashboard are used. It may process pages viewed, device and browser information, approximate location derived from your IP address, and interactions such as starting a checkout or completing a signup. PostHog also performs error monitoring for us: when your browser hits an unexpected error on our site, it reports the error message, the technical stack trace and the page it happened on, so that we can fix the fault. We use this only to find and repair defects, not to profile you. PostHog is only loaded after you consent to analytics cookies, which are switched off by default, and you can withdraw that consent at any time through the cookie settings. Data is stored in the EU; PostHog, Inc. is headquartered in the US, and transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses.
Privacy Policy

Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors interact with our website and services. It may process page views, device information, browser information, approximate location, and usage behavior. Where legally required, analytics tracking is only activated after consent has been provided.
Privacy Policy

15. Embedded YouTube Videos

Our website or customer dashboard may contain embedded YouTube videos. Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When viewing embedded videos, personal data may be transmitted to Google and YouTube.
Privacy Policy

16. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers operate outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or equivalent legal mechanisms where required by law.

17. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services, fulfill contractual obligations, comply with legal requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Where statutory retention periods apply, data will be retained for the legally required period and deleted thereafter.

18. Account Deletion and Data Retention

Users may request the deletion of their account and personal data at any time by contacting us at team@payglue.io.

Upon account deletion, personal data will generally be deleted unless retention is required for legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or contractual purposes. Certain records, including invoices and payment records, may be retained for up to 10 years where required by applicable law. After the applicable retention period expires, such data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Please note that backups and archived copies may remain temporarily until they are automatically removed according to our retention schedules.

19. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of data
  • Restrict processing
  • Object to processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise your rights, please contact: team@payglue.io

20. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection laws.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, operational, or business developments. The latest version will always be published on this page.
