Privacy Policy

01

What We Collect

When you use Gatekept, we collect a few types of information:

• Account info — your email address, username, and profile details (like your bio or avatar)
• Payment info — handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Stripe sends us just enough to show your purchase history.
• Content you upload — the files, images, descriptions, and anything else you post as a creator
• Usage data — things like which pages you visit, what you click, and how long you stay. This helps us understand what's working and what's not.

02

How We Use It

We use your data to make Gatekept work. That's it. Here's what that means:

• To create and manage your account
• To process purchases and send payouts to creators
• To show your profile and products to other people on the platform
• To send you important updates (like order confirmations or policy changes)
• To fix bugs and improve the platform
• To keep Gatekept safe and prevent abuse

We use Supabase for authentication and our database. We use Stripe for all payment processing.

03

What We Share

We do not sell your data. Not now, not ever. We will never sell your personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.

We only share data with:

• Stripe — to process payments
• Supabase — to store your account data securely
• Law enforcement — only if we are legally required to

Your public profile, username, and uploaded products are visible to other users. That's how a marketplace works. Everything else stays private.

04

Cookies

We use cookies for one reason: to keep you logged in. That's it. We don't use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party cookies that follow you around the internet.

When you sign in, we store a session cookie so you don't have to log in every time you visit. If you clear your cookies, you'll just need to sign in again.

05

Your Choices

You're in control. Here's what you can do:

• Update your info — edit your profile, email, or username anytime in Settings
• Download your data — you can request a copy of everything we have on you
• Delete your account — you can delete your account at any time. When you do, we remove your personal data. Some things (like completed orders) may be kept for legal or financial records.

If you want to do any of this, head to your Settings page or reach out to us directly.

06

Data Security

We take security seriously. Your data is stored securely through Supabase with encryption. Passwords are hashed, not stored in plain text. Payment data lives on Stripe's servers, not ours.

No system is perfect. We can't guarantee that a breach will never happen, but we do everything reasonable to protect your information. If something does go wrong, we'll tell you.

07

Children's Privacy

Gatekept is not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. If we find out that a child has created an account, we will delete it and all of its data.

If you're a parent and you believe your child is using Gatekept, please contact us and we'll take care of it right away.

08

Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the “last updated” date at the top. If we make a big change, we'll let you know through the platform or by email.

We won't quietly change the rules on you. That's not how we operate.

09

Contact

If you have questions about this policy, your data, or anything else, reach out to us at privacy@gateke.pt.

We'll get back to you. For real.
