Privacy policy

This policy covers the EuroMakers website: browsing the directory, member accounts, software submissions, claiming and editing listings, paid placements and Pro subscriptions, the weekly digest and contact messages.

AccountYour email address, your name and profile image if you add them, and how you sign in (email code, Google or GitHub). We create a public handle and display name for your profile.

ListingsThe software details and evidence links you submit, whether you build or recommend the product, how you verified that a listing is yours, and the history of your edits.

Monday digestYour email address, when you signed up and confirmed, and where on the site you signed up.

PurchasesWhen you buy a placement or Pro, Dodo Payments collects your card or other payment details, billing address and tax details on its own checkout. We never see or store card numbers. We keep what you bought, for which listing and period, the payment status and amount, and the customer reference Dodo gives us.

Contact messagesYour name, email address and message.

Technical dataAnti-abuse signals from Cloudflare Turnstile and Clerk’s bot protection, error reports, and product analytics. While you’re signed in, analytics are linked to your account: your account ID, email address, display name, handle and role.

Saved stackKept in your browser while you’re signed out. Once you sign in it syncs to your account, and it stays private unless you make it public.

Community activityThe launches you upvote, the makers and products you follow, the reviews you write and the updates you post. Vote and follower counts are public; who voted or who follows whom is not shown.

We use your data to run your account, review and publish listings, and let verified makers keep their listings up to date.

We also use it to run the placements and subscriptions you pay for, send the Monday digest you asked for, prevent abuse, reply to your messages, and see which parts of the site help people find European software.

We don’t sell personal data, and we don’t use it for advertising profiles.

Published listings, reviews and public stacks show your handle and display name.

Your email address is never shown publicly. Editors see it privately, so they can contact you about your submissions.

A few services help us run the site. Each one processes only what it needs to provide its service.

ClerkSign-in and account security. Clerk may process data in the United States under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

CloudflareHosting, our database and anti-spam checks.

ResendAccount, moderation and digest emails, sent from its EU region.

PostHogProduct analytics, hosted in the EU.

SentryError reports, in its EU region.

Dodo PaymentsThe merchant of record for placements and Pro. Dodo sells them to you, processes the payment, charges VAT or sales tax, issues invoices, handles refunds and chargebacks, and keeps the records tax law requires.

Dodo acts as an independent controller under its own privacy policy. Its customer portal, linked from your billing page, shows your invoices and lets you change your card or cancel.

Signing in sets cookies that keep you signed in and protect your session. They are strictly necessary for accounts.

Analytics uses local storage and a first-party cookie.

Your saved stack uses your browser’s local storage while you’re signed out.

Account dataKept while your account exists. Deleting your account removes your profile and ownership links, and your email address, name and handle from our analytics. Listings you submitted stay in the directory as editorial entries, without your name.

Digest addressesKept until you unsubscribe, which deletes them right away. Sign-ups that are never confirmed are deleted after seven days.

Moderation recordsWe keep moderation and audit records as long as needed to keep the directory trustworthy and to meet our legal duties.

PurchasesRecords of what was bought, when, and the payment status are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require, even after you delete your account.

You can access, correct or delete your account data at any time from your account menu (Manage account), or by emailing contact@euromakers.org.

You can also object to how we process your data, or ask for a copy of it.

For any privacy question, email contact@euromakers.org.
