Sort Feed values your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights when using Sort Feed.
02 Information We Collect#
We collect a limited set of information to enable Pro access and manage user licenses:
- retrieved from your Chrome browser to link your account and sync your Pro access across devices
- user id
- an internal identifier for database reference
- license key

Some information (like posts, likes, comments, and transcribed text) is processed locally or temporarily stored only to deliver your results. This data never leaves your device except as required for transcription processing.
03 How We Use the Information#
Your data is used only to:
- Verify and activate your Sort Feed Pro license

- Maintain accurate account records
- Process and return transcription results to your browser
- Enforce feature and transcription limits (e.g., monthly minutes or quota caps)
We never sell, share, or rent your personal information to third parties.
04 Chrome Permissions#
Sort Feed uses certain Chrome permissions (such as storage, scripting, and identity) strictly to enable Pro access, sync user status, and enhance your experience. These permissions do not allow us to read or modify your browsing history or content on third-party websites.
05 Google Sheets#
Sort Feed can export your sorted feed data directly to Google Sheets. When you connect Google Sheets, we store a Google OAuth token on our servers solely to create spreadsheets on your behalf when you click the export button.
We do not read, modify, or delete any existing files in your Google Drive, and we do not share your Google data with third parties. You can revoke access anytime at myaccount.google.com/permissions or reconnect a different account from your Sort Feed settings.
06 Third-Party Services#
Sort Feed uses a few trusted third-party providers to make its services work:
- Lemon Squeezy
- manages payments and license key purchases
- Cloudflare Workers + D1
- securely validate licenses and manage usage limits. Also, used to securely process and temporarily store transcription jobs before results are returned to your browser
- Cloudflare Pages
- hosts and displays the Sort Feed website
These providers only receive the information necessary to perform their functions and are bound by their own privacy and security policies.
07 Data Storage & Security#
Your information is stored securely using Cloudflare D1.
We apply industry-standard encryption and authentication to prevent unauthorized access, and no sensitive user data (like passwords or payment details) is stored by Sort Feed.
08 Data Retention#
We retain your account data only as long as it’s necessary to maintain your license or comply with legal obligations.
If you request deletion of your data, we’ll remove your record from our systems.

You can request deletion or correction of your data at any time by contacting us at taher@sortfeed.com.
We’ll respond to all privacy-related requests within a reasonable timeframe.
If you’re located in the European Union, we process your information under the legal basis of legitimate interest and user consent, as required by the GDPR.
