Privacy
Last updated 16 September 2026.
The legal entity operating this site is named on your Stripe receipt and card statement, and is provided on request by email.
What we collect
- If you buy a position: the business name and website you submit, your email address, the amount, and Stripe’s identifiers for the payment. We use these to take the payment, send your receipt, place you on the board, tell you if you lose the top spot, and answer support questions.
- If you ask for a removal: the business name, your email, and whatever you write in the message.
- If you send us a story or idea: what you write, the credit name you choose, and your email if you give one. It is emailed to a person and not stored in a public database. We use it only to decide whether to make a post, and we ask before we feature it. Tick-box permission is required to use your words without asking.
- If you vote: a random id stored in a cookie called
cc_voter(one year) so each person counts once per phrase, and, if you arrived through a creator’s link, that creator’s handle. Your browser also remembers which phrases you voted on. The id is not linked to your name or email. - If you send in a phrase: the phrase, your handle and email if you give them, and whether you want credit. We keep it to review it. A handle is shown only if you asked for credit.
- If you apply or bid as a designer or print shop: your name or shop name, email, link, pitch and price. Approved bids show your name, price and pitch on the phrase page. Your email is never shown.
- Publicly listed businesses: business name, website address, and where we found them. This is public business information, not personal information about you.
- Ordinary server logs, including IP address, kept briefly to rate-limit abuse and debug failures.
What we do not do
We do not sell or rent your information. We do not run advertising trackers, advertising pixels or cross-site profiling. We never see or store your card number — Stripe handles payment details directly.
Who else touches it
- Stripe processes payments and holds the payment record.
- Resend delivers receipts and notification emails.
- Vercel and Supabase host the site and its database.
Each of these receives only what it needs to do that job.
Email you get from us
Only transactional mail: a receipt, a notice that you lost the top spot in a category you paid for, and replies to things you asked about. No marketing list, no newsletter. Ask and we will stop sending the outbid notices.
Keeping and deleting
Payment records are kept as long as tax and accounting rules require. Everything else we delete on request, other than what we must keep for a financial record. Email support@cleveland.click and say what you want removed, or use the removal form for a business listing.
