Privacy Policy

Effective September 6, 2026

This policy explains what KilnWorks ("KilnWorks", "we", "us") collects when you use the application at getkilnworks.app, why, who it's shared with, and the choices you have. We don't sell your data and we don't use it for advertising.

1. What we collect

CategoryWhat it is
Account Your email address and a hashed (not readable) copy of your password. Optionally a shop name.
Billing Handled by Stripe. We store your Stripe customer and subscription identifiers and your plan and status. We never receive or store your full card number.
Etsy data When you connect Etsy, we retrieve and store shop details, listings, tags, images metadata, transactions, receipts, and reviews for your shop, plus an access token (encrypted at rest) used to make those requests on your behalf.
Printify data The API token you provide (encrypted at rest) and the products and order data we read with it.
Derived analytics Scores, aggregates, historical snapshots, and suggestions KilnWorks computes from the above.
Operational logs An audit log of significant account actions, plus standard server logs (IP address, timestamps, request paths, errors) kept for security and debugging.
Cookies One session cookie to keep you logged in, and a CSRF token. No third-party analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies.

2. How we use it

  • To provide the Service: sync your shop data, compute analytics, and show them to you.
  • To generate AI listing suggestions when you use that feature.
  • To take payment and manage your subscription.
  • To send transactional email: account, security, billing, and subscription messages. We don't send marketing email without your consent.
  • To secure the Service, investigate abuse, and provide support.

3. Who we share it with

We use a small number of processors to run the Service. We share only what each one needs:

ProviderPurposeWhat it gets
Stripe Payments and subscription billing Your email and payment details you enter on Stripe's checkout; subscription events
Anthropic AI Listing Assistant Only the listing title, tags, and description you choose to work on, and only when you use that feature. Per Anthropic's API terms, this data is not used to train their models.
Google Workspace Sending our email Recipient address and message content of transactional emails
Hosting provider Running the servers and database Everything above, as stored data on infrastructure we control

We may also disclose data if required by law, to enforce our terms, or as part of a business transfer, in which case we'll notify you. Etsy, Printify, and Stripe are sources and destinations you connect directly; their handling of your data is governed by their own policies.

4. Data location

KilnWorks is operated from the United States and your data is stored there.

5. Retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. If you cancel, we keep it for up to 90 days to allow reactivation and then delete or anonymize it, except where we need to retain limited records (for example billing history for tax and accounting, and security logs) for longer. You can ask us to delete your data sooner (see below).

6. Security

Connections to the Service use HTTPS. Etsy and Printify access tokens are encrypted at rest. Access to production systems is restricted, and account actions are logged. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures appropriate to the data we hold and will notify affected users of a breach as required by law.

7. Your choices and rights

  • Access and export. Ask us for a copy of the data in your account.
  • Correction. Update your email or shop details in settings, or ask us.
  • Deletion. Close your account and ask us to delete your data. We'll do so within 30 days, subject to the limited retention noted above.
  • Disconnect third parties. Revoke Etsy or Printify access at any time from their settings or ours.

Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK or California) you may have additional rights over your personal data, including the right to object to or restrict certain processing and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising a right. We honor these requests. To exercise any of the above, email support@getkilnworks.app from your account address.

8. Children

KilnWorks is a business tool not intended for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes

We'll update this policy as the Service changes and revise the effective date above. For material changes we'll notify you by email or in the app.

10. Contact

Privacy questions or requests: support@getkilnworks.app.
