Privacy Policy

What we collect

When you use Claplink, we collect:

• 🔗 The URL you paste into the hero field or the submission form
• 📧 Your email address, for receipts and status updates

Payment details are handled entirely by Dodo Payments, our payment processor and merchant of record. We never see or store your card number.

How we use it

We use the details above for one thing: submitting your product to the directories listed on the homepage. Your site URL is sent to those directories as part of each listing — that's the service you're paying for. Your email address is used only to send you your receipt and your "your listings are live" email.

Who we share it with

Two groups see the details you give us: the startup directories we submit you to (that's the point — it's how you get listed), and Dodo Payments, who processes payment on our behalf. We don't sell your data, and nobody outside those two groups receives your URL or your email address. The analytics and advertising tools below see how you move around this site — not what you submitted.

How long we keep it

We keep your submission details for as long as we might need to resubmit a listing that disappears — 90 days after your listings go live, per our resubmission policy. After that, we keep a minimal record (your email and which directories you were submitted to) so we can support you if a directory contacts you later. Payment records are retained by Dodo Payments per their own policy.

Cookies and analytics

We use Umami, a self-hosted analytics tool, to see which pages people visit before they paste their URL. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and cannot follow you to other sites.

We use Hotjar for session recordings and heatmaps, so we can see where people get stuck on a page. Hotjar sets cookies and keeps an identifier in your browser.

We also run the Google Ads tag. It sets cookies so that if you arrived here from one of our ads, Google can tell us the ad led to a sale. That is advertising measurement, and it is the one thing on this site that connects you to activity beyond it. You can turn off ad personalisation for your Google account at myadcenter.google.com, and blocking third-party cookies in your browser stops it here.

When you come back from paying, our payment processor puts your email address in the page address. We strip it out of that address before any of the tools above can read it, so your address is not part of what they record.

We also read aggregate search data from Google Search Console, which never touches your browser. Our payment processor sets its own cookies on its checkout page, under its own notice — that only happens if you go through to pay. Cloudflare, which serves this site, sets one strictly-necessary security cookie.

Your rights

You can ask us what we have on file, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it once your listings are live and stable. Email hello@claplink.com and we'll handle it directly — no support ticket system, just a reply from a person.

Changes to this policy

If this changes in a way that affects how your data is used, we'll update the date at the top of this page and email anyone it materially affects.
