Privacy Policy

What We Collect

• Content you upload – figures, DataFrames, and text you share via skua.snap()
• Anonymous session ID – a random identifier stored locally on your machine (~/.skua/session)
• Email address – only if you choose to verify your account
• IP address – for rate limiting and abuse prevention; not linked to identity
• Metadata – upload timestamps, content sizes, view counts

No tracking cookies. No telemetry from the Python package. No user agents or referrers logged.

How We Use Your Data

• Serve your uploaded content via generated URLs
• Enforce rate limits and usage quotas
• Send your authentication token when you verify your account

We do not sell, share, or monetize your data.

Product Updates

During account verification, you may opt in to receive occasional product updates by email. These are infrequent (at most monthly) and you can unsubscribe at any time. We will never share your email with third parties.

Data Retention

• Anonymous snapshots are deleted after 7 days
• Verified account snapshots are retained for 90 days from last update, up to 1 year
• Expired snapshots are permanently deleted (database record and stored file)

Analytics

We use Fathom Analytics for website analytics. Fathom does not use cookies, does not track personal data, and is GDPR/CCPA/PECR compliant.

Third Parties

We use trusted providers for hosting (Hetzner), frontend delivery (Cloudflare), email (Zeptomail), and analytics (Fathom). We do not use advertising or tracking services.

Open Source

The Skua Python package is open source (MIT License). You can inspect exactly what data the client sends.

Security

For details on encryption, authentication, access controls, infrastructure, and our security architecture, see the Trust & Security page.

Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be noted here with an updated date.
