Cachd stores only what it needs to run the service. Your account information keeps you signed in, your library content is what makes the product useful, and your billing data lets subscriptions work through Stripe. Nothing is sold to third parties, and nothing you save is used to train generalized AI or machine learning models. This page explains what is collected, why it is used, who can see it, and what choices you have.

​
Data we collect

When you create a Cachd account, the service collects the information needed to authenticate you and keep your sessions active:
  • Name and email address from your sign-in provider
  • Profile image associated with your linked provider account
  • Provider identifiers that uniquely identify your account at the identity provider (e.g., your Google account ID)
  • Session records used to keep you authenticated across devices and browser tabs
When you connect a third-party account, Cachd also receives the provider’s account identifier, basic profile data, OAuth tokens, token expiry times, and the scopes you approved — the minimum needed to keep the integration working.
Everything you save, import, organize, or annotate inside Cachd is stored as library content:
  • Imported links — URLs, titles, and descriptions from bookmarks or browser imports
  • Captions and notes — any annotations you write for saved items
  • Thumbnails — preview images associated with imported content
  • Source identifiers — external item IDs that link a saved item back to its origin
  • Timestamps — when items were originally saved and when they were imported into Cachd
  • Collection metadata — the names, descriptions, and structure of your collections
  • Public share data — if you enable a public share link for a collection, Cachd stores a share ID and makes the collection name, description, and included items available to anyone with the link
Deleting an item from Cachd removes it from your Cachd library only. It does not remove the original content from the third-party service where it was first saved.
To run the subscription service and keep Cachd operating reliably, the following data is collected:
  • Subscription state — your current plan, billing interval, and subscription status
  • Stripe customer identifiers — the Stripe customer and subscription IDs associated with your account. Raw payment card details are processed by Stripe and are never stored by Cachd.
  • Device and browser metadata — browser type, user agent, operating system signals, time zone, and similar technical information
  • Usage and log information — pages or features used, request timestamps, error logs, and performance data generated during normal service operation
  • Feedback — messages or in-product feedback you submit, along with the context of where you submitted it
Sensitive fields — including tokens, emails, IP addresses, and card numbers — are redacted from operational logs before they are stored.

​
How we use your data

Cachd uses the data it collects for the following purposes:
  • Run and maintain the service — authenticate your account, keep sessions active, power imports and syncs, and serve your library content.
  • Improve features — analyze aggregated or de-identified usage trends to understand how the product is used and where it can be better. Cachd does not use your personal data to train generalized AI or machine learning models.
  • Process billing — manage your subscription, handle checkout flows, and process webhooks through Stripe.
  • Send operational communications — respond to support requests, notify you of material changes to the service, and follow up on feedback you submit.
  • Protect the service — monitor for fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security incidents, and enforce the Terms of Service.
If you use AI-assisted features in Cachd — such as section descriptions or smart collection suggestions — relevant library item content may be sent to Cachd’s AI service providers to generate the requested output. This processing is done on your behalf, not to build models.

​
Third-party services

Cachd works with a small set of third-party services to deliver core functionality. All integrations are scoped to the minimum access required. Google
  • Used for sign-in via OAuth (openid, email, and profile scopes).
  • Used for Google Photos import via a read-only picker scope (photospicker.mediaitems.readonly). Cachd can only access the specific items you select in the picker — not your full photo library.
  • You can revoke Cachd’s Google access at any time from myaccount.google.com/permissions.
  • Cachd’s use of Google user data complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Stripe
  • Used exclusively for subscription billing, checkout, and billing portal management.
  • Cachd shares only the data Stripe needs to create and manage your subscription. Cachd does not store raw card numbers.
All third-party integrations use scoped, limited access. Cachd does not sell your personal data and does not use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
