Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-07-01

Who we are

Haypile is a search layer over the things you've saved across the internet, operated from the United Kingdom. We are the data controller for the personal data described here. For any privacy request, contact privacy@luciengeorge.com. We process personal data under UK GDPR and, where applicable, EU GDPR.

Data we collect

  • Account data: your name and email. Sign-in is passwordless (a one-time magic link, or "Continue with X"), so we never store a password.
  • Saved content: the items you've saved on sources you connect (for example your X bookmarks) — their text, media, links, and timestamps — which we index so you can search them.
  • Connection tokens: OAuth access/refresh tokens for the sources you connect, used only to sync your saves on your behalf.
  • Usage data: product analytics about how the app is used (via PostHog) and error diagnostics (via Sentry).
  • Billing data: your subscription status. Card details are handled by our payment provider, Polar, acting as Merchant of Record; we never see or store your card.

How we use it

To provide the service (sync and search your saved content), to authenticate you, to process subscriptions, to keep the service secure and reliable, and to communicate with you about your account. Search embeddings are generated with Google Vertex AI. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your saved content to train models.

Sub-processors

We share data only with providers that help us run Haypile:

  • Convex — application database and hosting
  • Vercel — web hosting
  • Google Vertex AI — generating search embeddings
  • Polar — payments (Merchant of Record)
  • Resend — transactional email
  • PostHog — product analytics
  • Sentry — error monitoring

Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, your saved items, embeddings, sync state, and preferences are permanently removed. Backups cycle out on a rolling basis.

Your rights

  • Access / portability — download your data via Settings → Danger zone → Export.
  • Erasure — delete your account (and all saved data) via Settings → Danger zone.
  • Rectification — update your name and email via Settings → Profile.
  • You may also object to or restrict processing, and complain to the UK ICO (or your local authority).
