Privacy policy

Last updated 4 October 2026

Siftwright makes data tools for developers. This page explains what information we handle, and it's kept short on purpose.

This website

siftwright.com sets no cookies and runs no advertising or cross-site tracking scripts. To count visits we use Cloudflare Web Analytics: a small privacy-focused script, loaded from static.cloudflareinsights.com, that records anonymous page views and page-load speed (the page address, the referring site, and your country, browser and device type). Cloudflare states it uses no cookies or local storage and doesn't fingerprint visitors, and we only ever see aggregate counts, never individual visitors.

If you use the light/dark switch, your choice is saved in your own browser's local storage and never sent to us. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes basic request data (such as IP address and browser type) to deliver the site, protect it from abuse and produce aggregate traffic statistics, under its own privacy policy.

Live demo

When you run the live demo, what you type (a YouTube URL, a website address or a news search) is sent to Apify, our processing provider, to run the tool, and the result may be cached for up to 24 hours so repeat requests are fast. To enforce the daily demo limit we keep a counter keyed to a one-way hash of your IP address, and we clear those counters daily. We don't link demo use to you.

Forms and newsletter

The request, waitlist and newsletter forms send what you type to us by email. We use it only to reply to you, to tell you when a product opens, or, for the newsletter, to send occasional emails you can stop at any time by replying. We don't store form submissions on the website itself. To limit spam, we keep a short-lived counter keyed to a one-way hash of your IP address for up to one hour.

Our tools on Apify

When you use our tools on the Apify Store, Apify handles your account, billing and run data under Apify's privacy policy. We can see basic usage information for our tools (for example, run counts, run status and error logs), which we use only to operate, support and improve them. We do not sell data. The inputs you give a tool and its results are stored in your Apify account, not by us.

Purchases

Downloadable products are sold through a third-party checkout provider that acts as merchant of record and processes payment details. We receive only what's needed to deliver the product and provide support, such as your email address and order details.

API subscriptions

Siftwright API subscriptions are paid through Stripe, which processes your payment details under Stripe's privacy policy. We never see your full card number. We keep your email address, Stripe customer and subscription IDs, plan, subscription status, a one-way hash of your API key, and a count of successful results used this period, to run and bill the service. We don't keep the contents of your API requests or results; requests run on the Apify platform on our account, which keeps run data (including screenshot and PDF files) for up to 7 days. To limit abuse we keep short-lived counters keyed to hashes of your API key or IP address.

Email

If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply and help you.
