Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

1. What we collect

Creators: email address and name via Apple Sign-In or Google Sign-In.

Consumer voters: no personal information collected. Votes are stored with an anonymous token tied to your browser — no name, email, or account required. Voting without an account does not mean no data is processed: we still set an anonymous token and record basic analytics events (see Sections 2 and 4).

Settle for Teams stakeholders: when a Teams creator invites you to a decision, we collect the name and email address they provide so we can send you the invitation and any reminders. This is distinct from consumer voting above — Teams stakeholders are named participants, not anonymous voters.

2. How we use it

Creator accounts are used to authenticate you and save your polls. Anonymous voter tokens are used to attribute your votes to your session and to measure how many voters become creators (our growth metric). We do not sell any data to third parties.

Workflow emails (invitations and reminders) include an unsubscribe link. If you opt out, or if your email address generates a delivery failure, we stop sending to that address.

3. Data storage

All data is stored in the United States (us-east-1 region). By using Settle, you agree to your data being processed in the United States.

4. Third-party services

We use Supabase for authentication and data storage, PostHog for analytics, RevenueCat for mobile subscription management, and Stripe for Settle for Teams subscription billing and payment processing. Each service has its own privacy policy.

Stripe processes your payment card details to take payment for a Teams subscription. Settle does not receive or store your full card number — card data is handled by Stripe directly. You can read Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

5. Data retention & deletion

Creator accounts: your account data (email, name, polls, and group history) is retained for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Delete account within the Settle app. Upon deletion, all personal data is permanently removed within 30 days.

Voter tokens: anonymous voter tokens are stored for up to one year via a browser cookie, after which they expire automatically. No personal information is attached to these tokens.

Teams stakeholder data: names and email addresses provided by a Teams creator for decision invitations are retained while the workspace is active. If the workspace is deleted, stakeholder data is removed within 30 days.

Analytics data: aggregated, non-identifying analytics events are retained for up to 24 months, after which they are automatically purged.
