How ShipShield collects, uses and protects your data.

Last updated: October 10, 2026

Who we are

ShipShield is operated by Hardik Desai (sole proprietor), based in India. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use ShipShield, why, and the choices you have. Questions can be sent to support@shipshield.dev.

Data we collect

  • Account data: your name, email address and sign-in details, handled by our authentication provider.
  • Scan data: the URLs you submit, the publicly served page and script content we fetch from them, and the findings we produce.
  • Billing data: your plan, subscription status and payment records. Card and bank details are entered with our payment processor and never stored by us.
  • Usage data: basic technical logs such as IP address and request times, used to keep the service secure and working.

How we use it

  • To run scans and show you the results.
  • To manage your account, subscription and payments.
  • To send transactional emails such as payment receipts and cancellation notices.
  • To prevent abuse and keep the service secure.
  • To improve scan accuracy and fix bugs.

AI processing

To judge whether a possible finding is a real problem, we may send a short excerpt of the public code around that finding to an AI model provider (currently Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq or Google, depending on our configuration). We send only what is needed for that check. We do not send your account details, and we do not sell your data.

Service providers

We share data only with providers that help us run the service:

  • Clerk — authentication and account management.
  • Razorpay — subscription billing and payments.
  • Resend — transactional email.
  • Vercel — hosting.
  • Upstash QStash — background job queue for scans.
  • Browserless — headless browser rendering of scanned pages.
  • AI model providers listed above — scan verification.

Retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we also delete your subscription, payment and scan records from our database, except where we must retain something to meet legal or tax obligations. To request deletion, email support@shipshield.dev.

Your rights

Under applicable law, including India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask to access, correct or erase your personal data, or withdraw consent. Email support@shipshield.dev and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Security

We use encryption in transit, access controls and managed providers to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure; if you find a vulnerability, please follow our responsible disclosure process.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product changes. The date at the top shows the latest revision, and we will notify account holders of material changes.
