Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

When you submit a project to CultCode (cultcode.dev), we collect:

• Your name (as the maker/submitter).
• Your email address.
• An optional Twitter/X handle.
• Project details you provide (name, description, link, category, etc.).
• Payment metadata from Razorpay (such as payment ID and status) — we never see or store your card details; Razorpay handles all payment data directly.

2. Why we collect it

We use this information to:

• Review your submission and operate your listing in the directory.
• Process your one-time payment via Razorpay, our payment processor.
• Send you transactional emails — e.g. confirming receipt of your submission, review outcome, or refund status.

We do not use your data for advertising, and we do not sell your data to third parties.

3. What's public

If your submission is approved, the project listing itself — along with your maker name and Twitter handle, if you provided one — becomes publicly visible on cultcode.dev. Your email address is never made public and is only used for communication with you and payment reconciliation.

4. Cookies

CultCode uses a single cookie: an admin authentication cookie used to keep our reviewer signed in to the admin dashboard. We do not use tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies on cultcode.dev.

5. Data retention

We retain submission and listing data for as long as your listing is intended to remain live, plus a reasonable period afterward for accounting and dispute-resolution purposes. If your submission is rejected, we retain the minimum data necessary to process your refund and then delete it within a reasonable period.

6. Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing hello@cultcode.dev. We will respond to reasonable requests within a reasonable time frame. Note that deleting data associated with a live listing may require removing the listing itself.

7. Third parties

We share data with the following third parties, solely to operate the service:

• Razorpay — payment processing. Razorpay handles and stores all payment and card data; we only receive payment metadata (status, payment ID).
• Supabase — database and hosting infrastructure used to store submission and listing data.

8. Data removal & takedowns

Makers and rights-holders can request removal of a listing, or erasure of personal data, via cultcode.dev/report (reason: “my data — request removal”) or by emailing hello@cultcode.dev. We handle takedown and removal requests within 48 hours.

9. Contact
