PRIVACY POLICY.
Plain English, no fine print games. Here’s exactly what we collect and why.
Last updated 18 July 2026
The Short Version
We collect the minimum needed to run Pixelfetch: your email if you subscribe or make an account, and a few preferences if you set them. We don’t sell your data, we don’t run ad trackers, and you can delete your account and everything with it whenever you like.
What We Collect
Account details. If you create a reader account (in the mobile app, or on the website if that becomes available), we store your email address and a securely hashed password through our authentication provider, Supabase. We never see or store your password in plain text.
Newsletter subscriptions. If you subscribe to the email briefing, we store your email address and your subscription preferences (daily, weekly, or both) so we know what to send you.
Reading preferences. If you have an account, you can follow specific brands, gear types, or categories, choose how often you want your briefing (daily, weekdays, weekly, or off), and opt in to breaking-news alerts. We store these preferences against your account so the feed and briefing can be personalised for you.
Push notification tokens. If you turn on notifications in the mobile app, we store a device token (issued by Expo, the notification service we use) so we can deliver alerts to your device. If you turn notifications off or log out, that token is removed.
Server logs. Like any website, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical information, things like IP address, browser type, and request timestamps, for security and troubleshooting. We don’t combine these logs with your account identity.
Anonymous traffic stats. We use Vercel Web Analytics to see aggregate traffic trends (how many people visited, which pages are popular). It’s cookie-free and doesn’t identify you personally or link back to your account.
What We Don’t Do
We don’t sell or rent your data to anyone, ever.
We don’t run third-party advertising trackers or ad pixels on the site.
We don’t use analytics tools that tie browsing behaviour to your individual account.
Who We Share Data With
We use a small set of service providers to run Pixelfetch. They process your data only to help deliver the service, not for their own marketing.
- Supabase stores our database and handles account sign-in.
- Vercel hosts the website and provides the anonymous traffic stats mentioned above.
- Resend delivers our emails (the daily and weekly briefings, and account-related emails).
- Expo delivers push notifications to the mobile app, for readers who turn them on.
We don’t share your data with any other third party unless we’re legally required to.
Your Rights and Control
Unsubscribe anytime. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click and you’re off the list.
Delete your account anytime. In the mobile app, you can delete your account from the settings screen. This is permanent and immediate, it removes your profile, preferences, and device tokens straight away. There’s no waiting period and no way for us to undo it, so make sure it’s what you want.
Questions or requests. If you want to know exactly what data we hold about you, or want it corrected or removed and can’t do it yourself, email hello@pixelfetch.co and we’ll sort it out.
A Few More Things
Where we operate. Pixelfetch is run by Kess Media out of Sydney, Australia, and our data is processed by the service providers listed above. If you’re contacting us from outside Australia, your data may be processed here or by our providers in their own locations.
Not for kids. Pixelfetch isn’t directed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy. If we make meaningful changes to how we handle your data, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. Worth a check back every now and then.
