Privacy Policy

What's collected when you sign up

Sign-up is only through signing in with Google. When you sign in, your email address, name and profile picture are collected as approved by Google, and a Plugger account is created for you based on those details. We never see or store your Google password at any stage.

Cookies

The session cookie (plugger_session) is signed and encrypted, accessible only to the server (HttpOnly), and kept for up to 30 days. Two additional temporary cookies (up to 10 minutes) are used only for the Google sign-in process itself.

The industry contact list

A fixed rule in the system's code: the browsing screens for Plugger's contact list (broadcasters, editors, writers) never show a personal name or email address, only the media outlet they work with. A contact with no registered outlet is labeled "Freelancers and similar" instead of showing an identifying detail. The full name and address are revealed only on the final approval screen before an actual send, and only for that send.

Smart links

When someone opens a smart link you created or clicks one of its platform buttons, only the action type (view / click), the platform, and a timestamp are saved, no name, no email address and no identifying detail about that visitor.

Who the data is shared with

• Google - for the sign-in itself only.
• Mailchimp - your email address and name, for a monthly update (only if you opted in).
• Resend - email addresses of industry contacts, for sending messages on your behalf after your approval.
• Paddle / PayPal - only if and when you make a payment through them, per their own privacy policies.

The data is not sold and not shared for advertising purposes with any third party.
