Privacy Policy for Socialfree

Effective Date: August 2026

1. Overview

Socialfree ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website socialfree.me and its associated subdomains. We provide digital contact profile setup, hosting, and privacy-focused landing card services. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website, complete our intake forms, or use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum necessary information required to fulfill our service and process payments:

A. Profile & Contact Data Provided by You

When you submit an intake form to create a profile card, you explicitly provide contact details you wish to publish publicly. This may include:

• Your name, preferred handle, or URL slug.
• Contact endpoints you elect to display (such as your email address, phone number, WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram details).
• Preferred page layout, color theme, or visual asset preferences.

B. Communication Data

When you contact us directly via email (e.g., hello@socialfree.me), we collect your email address and any information included in your correspondence.

C. Payment Data

Payment processing is handled directly by Stripe. We do not collect, process, or store complete credit card numbers or sensitive payment credentials on our own servers. Stripe collects transactional and billing details necessary to process your payment.

D. Usage & Analytics Data

Our website hosting platform (Bear Blog) is built for privacy. We do not use invasive tracking cookies, pixel trackers, or persistent cross-site identifiers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely for the following purposes:

• To build, host, and maintain your requested contact profile page on socialfree.me.
• To process transaction payments via Stripe.
• To communicate with you regarding page creation, requested updates, or customer support inquiries.
• To deliver associated digital assets, such as custom QR code lockscreen wallpapers.

4. Public Nature of Profile Pages & Anti-Scraping Measures

• Public Display: Information submitted specifically for publication on a client contact card (e.g., socialfree.me/yourname) is deliberately rendered accessible to the public.
• Anti-Scraping Technical Controls: We deploy strict HTTP response headers, including "noindex" and "nofollow" tags, alongside explicit blocks for automated AI crawlers and search engine indexing bots. While these controls restrict search engines and compliant bots from indexing your page, no public internet page can guarantee 100% immunity against unauthorized, rogue scrapers.

5. Third-Party Service Providers (Data Processors)

We rely on select, privacy-focused third-party processors to operate our service:

• Hosting Engine: Bear Blog (hosts core web pages and CSS assets).
• Form Processing & Intake: Tally.so (collects client intake details and handles form submissions).
• Payment Processing: Stripe (handles billing details and payment processing).
• Business Email Communications: Proton Mail (provides end-to-end encrypted email communications under custom domain routing).

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

6. Data Retention

• Published Profiles: We retain and display your profile card data for as long as your service remains active.
• Takedown & Deletion: You may request the modification or immediate deletion of your profile card at any time by contacting us from your registered email address. Upon deletion, your page will be removed within 24 hours.
• Transaction Records: Basic billing and transaction logs are retained as required to satisfy legal, tax, and accounting obligations.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as under GDPR or UK Data Protection Law), you have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data.
• The right to request complete deletion of your personal data and hosted profiles.

To exercise any of these rights, please email us directly at hello@socialfree.me.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our service or legal obligations. Updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
