Privacy Policy

1. What this site is

freestack.tools ("the Site") is a directory of tools with a verified free plan, run by a single person. This policy explains what data the Site collects, why, and what it never does with it.

The Site is operated by RJ Digital (rjdigital.fi), business ID 3453715-6.

2. Analytics

The Site uses Vercel Analytics and PostHog (EU-hosted) to understand which pages and categories get used, at an aggregate level. Both are configured to exclude known bots and crawlers, and PostHog only initializes for visits to the production domain — not previews or local development. You can opt out of analytics entirely from any page by setting the disable-analyticsflag in your browser's local storage, or by using a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts.

3. Affiliate links

Some outbound links to tools on this Site are affiliate links, routed through /go/[slug] redirects so click-throughs can be measured. Clicking one may result in a commission for this Site at no additional cost to you. See the Terms of Service for the full affiliate disclosure. Affiliate relationships do not influence which tools get listed or how they're ranked.

4. What's not collected

The Site does not require an account to browse, does not sell or share data with data brokers or advertisers, and does not run third-party ad tracking. Tool submissions and contact form messages collect only what you type in (email address, message content) and are used solely to respond to you or review a listing.

5. Cookies

The Site sets a minimal set of cookies for functionality (e.g. a preference cookie so the site owner's own visits don't count as analytics traffic) and, where used, PostHog's own analytics cookies. No third-party advertising cookies are set.

6. Paid listings and payments

When you submit a paid listing we collect what you type in: tool name, website, pricing page, a description of the free plan, notes, your name and your email. We use it only to review the listing, contact you about it, and keep a record of the order. We also store a hashed form of your IP address rather than the address itself, used only to limit abuse of the form.

Payments are handled by Stripe. Stripe receives your card details and email address to take the payment and send a receipt, under its own privacy policy. We never see or store your card number. We keep the order record and its payment status, and the identifiers Stripe needs for refunds.

We keep submission and payment records for as long as needed to review the listing, handle refunds, and meet accounting obligations. To ask for a copy of your data or to have it removed where the law allows, email hello@freestack.tools.

7. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
