Privacy Policy
Last updated 24 August 2026
This is a first draft, not legal advice — see the caveat on our Terms of Service. Have it reviewed before relying on it, especially given real payment and personal data are involved.
This describes what STEALSHOT collects, why, and who else sees it.
What we collect
Account info. Email address, and if you sign in with Google: your name, avatar, and Google account id. If you sign in by email code, just the email.
Session and device info. When you sign in, we record the IP address, approximate location (country/city, from our own GeoIP lookup — not a third-party tracker), user agent, and device list, so the account page can show "where you're signed in" and so we can meter and trace abuse.
Activity. Logins, chat messages sent (not third-party-shared beyond the model call needed to answer them — see below), favorites, board edits, and API/MCP calls are logged with a timestamp, an IP-derived location, and the page/endpoint involved. This is what makes the daily chat/submission limits work and what we use to investigate abuse.
Billing. If you subscribe to Pro, Stripe collects and processes your payment details — we never see or store your card number. We keep your Stripe customer/subscription id, plan, billing interval, and renewal date so the account page can show your plan status.
Cookies. A session cookie (ss_session) keeps you signed in; it stores a random token, not your identity directly (the identity lookup happens server-side). An anonymous cookie (ss_anon) is set only if you paste a submission before signing up, so it can be claimed once you do.
What we use it for
Running the Service: authenticating you, showing your saves/boards, metering chat and submission limits, answering chat questions, billing Pro subscriptions, and investigating abuse or security issues. We don't sell your data, and we don't use your chat messages or account data to train our own models beyond what's needed to answer your question in the moment.
Who else sees it
Data is processed by the vendors that run the Service. None of them get more than they need to do their job:
| Vendor | What for |
|---|---|
| Neon | Postgres database hosting — everything above lives here. |
| Cloudflare R2 | Video/frame file storage and CDN delivery. |
| OAuth sign-in, if you use it. | |
| SMASHSEND | Sending magic-link sign-in codes. |
| Anthropic / OpenRouter | Running the chat assistant — your chat messages are sent to whichever is configured to generate a response. |
| Stripe | Payment processing and subscription billing for Pro. |
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the security of the Service or its users.
Retention
Account and activity data is kept for as long as your account exists, plus a limited period after deletion for fraud/abuse investigation. Session records expire automatically after 30 days of inactivity.
Your rights
You can review and revoke your active sessions and API keys from your account page at any time, and you can sign out everywhere from there. To request a copy of your data or deletion of your account, email privacy@stealshot.com — we'll verify it's really you before acting on it.
Changes
We'll update this page as the product changes, with a new "last updated" date. Material changes will be called out, not buried in a diff.
