Privacy policy

Last updated: October 2026 · Site Tuneup ("we")

This policy explains what we collect when you use Site Tuneup, why we collect it, and your rights. We keep it short on purpose: we collect the minimum needed to run the service and nothing more.

What we collect

• Account details — your email address and, if you set a password, a salted hash of it (we never store or can reveal your actual password). Accounts created by the email gate start passwordless.
• Audit data — the URLs you ask us to audit and the reports we generate from them, stored so you can view them again.
• Payment details — the £10/month subscription is processed by Stripe. Card numbers never touch our servers; we receive only Stripe customer/subscription identifiers, the plan status and the paid-through date.
• Technical logs — standard server logs (IP address, pages requested, timestamps) used for security, abuse prevention and rate limiting.

Cookies

We use two strictly necessary cookies: a session cookie so you stay signed in, and a marker cookie that remembers your browser has used its free audit. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

How we use it

• To provide the audit reports you request.
• To operate accounts, payments and the paid unlock.
• To protect the service against abuse (rate limiting, brute-force protection).
• To contact you about your account if needed — never for marketing without your consent.

Third parties

Data is processed by our hosting provider (infrastructure) and Stripe (payments). We do not sell your data. Audits crawl only the public pages of the website you submit — that site's own privacy policy governs what its pages contain.

Retention

Account data is kept while your account exists. Audit reports are kept so your history works; you can ask us to delete your account and its reports at any time. Reset tokens expire within the hour.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can request a copy of your data, correction, or deletion. Contact us with the email on your account and we'll act on verified requests. You may also complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk).
