No. Not your personal details, not your purchase history, not your location, not ever. We don't sell it, we don't rent it, and we don't hand it to data brokers. We make money from subscriptions and from the fees on an order. That's the whole business model, and it's deliberately one that doesn't require selling you out.

Everything travels over an encrypted connection. Passwords are handled by a dedicated identity service and hashed — we never see them, and couldn't tell you yours if you asked. Card details go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers. Beyond that, we don't publish the details of how our systems are put together — not to be cagey, but because a map of the plumbing is only useful to someone looking for a loose joint.

Ads don't load at all until you say they can. If you never give advertising consent, the ad network's code is never even fetched — not throttled, not anonymized, simply never loaded. That's not a setting buried three menus deep; it's the default until you change it. When you do consent, ads are served by Google, and Google's advertising works the way Google's advertising works. We're not going to tell you that's private, because it isn't. If you'd rather not have any of it: the one-time $5.99 removes ads permanently, and every subscription is ad-free.

Three ways. Buy the one-time $5.99 ad removal and they're gone for good. Subscribe to any plan — Silver, Gold and Platinum are all ad-free. Or simply decline advertising consent, and no ads are ever loaded. Only the Free tier sees ads, and only with permission.
