Privacy

The data we don’t collect can’t hurt you.

This page explains the limited information used to arrange a private preview, respond to a note, and operate this website. We do not use advertising trackers.

Working draft · to be finalized with counsel before launch · October 8, 2026

02 · What we don’t

What we deliberately don’t do.

  • No advertising pixels, cross-site advertising profiles, fingerprinting, or session recording
  • No tracking cookies — the site sets none
  • No payment details — there is nothing to buy yet, and at launch cards will go straight to Stripe, never to our servers
  • No selling or renting of anyone’s data, ever
03 · Texting & mobile data

If you text us, here is exactly what happens.

When you text or call a Spindle number, we keep your phone number and the content of that conversation so we can reply and remember what was said. That is the only use.

We will not share your mobile phone number or your SMS opt-in consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. The only party that touches a message is our messaging carrier, and only to deliver it.

Message frequency varies with the conversation. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out and HELP for help; both work on every Spindle number. Opting in is never a condition of buying anything.

If you opt in on spindle.chat/text, we keep a record of that opt-in: your number, the time, the exact consent text you ticked, and the network address and browser it came from. That record exists to prove you asked us to text you, and it goes when your number does.

04 · Your choices

Off the list, on request.

Want a private-preview inquiry or booking record removed? Send a note to contact@spindle.chat from the email address you used. Calendar records may also need to be retained when reasonably necessary to document or manage the appointment.

Service providers involved in these requests: Vercel (hosting and server functions), Google Calendar and Meet (availability and the meeting), and Resend (confirmation, appointment, and inquiry email). Each receives the information needed for its part of the service.

This policy covers the marketing site. The Spindle product will ship with its own privacy policy — reviewed with counsel — before it handles customer conversations at scale.
