Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Gossip Cash ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit or use the services provided through https://Gossip.Cash (the “Service” or “Site”). This policy applies to users of the Gossip Cash platform. Please note that websites created by our users using the Gossip Cash service are governed by the privacy policies of those individual site owners.

Personal Information We Collect

When you use the Service, we collect certain information:

  1. Information You Provide Directly:
    • Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, and password (stored securely using hashing).
    • Payment Information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, we collect payment details (like credit card numbers, billing address). This information is typically processed directly by our third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe) and we generally only store minimal information like the last four digits of your card or billing address for identification and compliance.
    • Notion Integration Information: To connect your Notion account, we may require API keys or other authentication tokens. We handle this information securely to enable the core functionality of the Service.
    • Communications: If you contact us for support or other inquiries, we collect the information you provide in those communications.
  2. Information Collected Automatically:
    • Device Information: When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device.
    • Usage Information: As you navigate and interact with the Service (our website Gossip.Cash, not the sites you build), we collect information about how you use the Service, such as the pages you view, features you use, and actions you take. We refer to this automatically-collected information collectively with device details as “Usage & Device Information.”

We collect Usage & Device Information using technologies like:

  • “Cookies”: Data files placed on your device, often including an anonymous unique identifier. Learn more at allaboutcookies.org.
  • “Log files”: Track actions on the Site, collecting data like IP address, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
  • “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels”: Electronic files used to record information about Browse activity.

When we refer to “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean Account Information, Payment Information, Notion Integration Information, Communications, and Usage & Device Information.

How Do We Use Your Personal Information?

We use the Personal Information we collect to:

  • Provide and Maintain the Service: Operate the Gossip Cash platform, authenticate users, connect to Notion accounts, process payments, and fulfill our contractual obligations to you.
  • Communicate with You: Respond to support requests, send service-related announcements (e.g., maintenance, security alerts, account notifications), and, if aligned with your preferences, send marketing communications about our products or services (you can opt-out).
  • Improve and Optimize the Service: Analyze how users interact with our Site and Service to understand usage patterns, identify areas for improvement, assess the success of features or marketing campaigns, and enhance user experience (e.g., using analytics).
  • Screen for Risk and Fraud: Use information (particularly Payment Information and Usage & Device Information like IP addresses) to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, security incidents, and abuse.
  • Comply with Legal Obligations: Fulfill applicable legal requirements, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our terms of service.

Sharing Your Personal Information

We share your Personal Information with third parties in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We engage third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processing [like Stripe], website hosting and infrastructure [like Vercel or AWS], data analytics, email delivery, customer support platforms). These providers only have access to the Personal Information necessary to perform their tasks and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes. [Ensure this list reflects your actual providers]
  • Notion: We share necessary authentication information (handled securely) with Notion to enable the integration you authorize. Notion's use of your data is governed by their own privacy policy.
  • Legal Compliance and Protection: We may disclose your Personal Information if required by law, regulation, legal process (like a subpoena or search warrant), or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Gossip Cash, our users, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: If Gossip Cash is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your Personal Information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality arrangements.

We do not sell your Personal Information.

Anonymous Performance Data Collection

Gossip Cash gathers anonymous performance data to assess platform and content delivery network (CDN) performance for the websites built using our service.

We gather information about the time it takes to deliver and render page content for sites hosted via our platform. This helps us ensure our platform and CDN are working optimally for speed and efficiency, ensuring user-created sites perform well.

  • Potential Domain: vitals.vercel-insights.com (if using Vercel infrastructure)
  • Type: Beacon/Analytics Endpoint
  • Data Collected: Anonymous performance metrics (e.g., Core Web Vitals).
  • Personal or identifiable data collected: None.

The analytics captured are performance data only, are completely anonymous, and generally add negligible load time. No IP address, location, or other personal information is gathered via this specific mechanism, and cookies are typically not used or stored for this purpose by the beacon itself. While GDPR principles may not strictly apply to fully anonymous data, we disclose this practice for transparency.

Behavioral Advertising

As described above, we may use your Personal Information (primarily Usage & Device Information collected on Gossip.Cash) to provide you with targeted advertisements or marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page: http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.

We might share information about your use of our Site and your interaction with our ads on other websites with advertising partners, sometimes through cookies or similar technologies (subject to your consent where required). [Review if this section accurately reflects your practices]

You can opt out of targeted advertising using these links:

Additionally, you can opt out of some services via the Digital Advertising Alliance’s portal: http://optout.aboutads.info/.

Do Not Track

Please note that we do not alter our Site’s data collection and use practices when we detect a Do Not Track signal from your browser, as there is no industry-standard approach to responding to DNT signals.

Lawful Basis (for EEA Residents)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), we process your personal information under the following lawful bases:

  • Your consent (where applicable, e.g., for non-essential cookies or marketing emails);
  • The performance of the contract between you and the Site (i.e., providing the Gossip Cash service you signed up for);
  • Compliance with our legal obligations;
  • To protect your vital interests or those of another person;
  • To perform a task carried out in the public interest (less common for our service);
  • For our legitimate interests (e.g., improving the service, preventing fraud, security), provided these do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file downloaded to your device when you visit our Site. We use different types: functional, performance, advertising, social media/content cookies. They help remember actions/preferences (like login), provide usage insights, and optimize your experience.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. Instructions are typically found in your browser's 'Help', 'Tools', or 'Edit' menus. Note that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our Site may become inaccessible. For more details, visit allaboutcookies.org.

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, comply with our legal obligations (e.g., tax, accounting), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Generally, account information is kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward. Usage & Device Information may be kept for shorter periods for analytics or security purposes. You can request deletion of your information as described under "Your Rights," subject to legal and operational retention needs.

Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on the Site and updating the effective date.
