Privacy

_Last updated: 19 September 2026_

This page explains what Mikhail Ivashchenko IE (Yerevan, Armenia), the operator of Scaling Radar, does with personal data. We keep as little as the service needs to work.

What we store

Your email address. It is how you sign in and how alerts reach you. We never received a password, because we do not use passwords.

Sales enquiries. If you contact sales, we store your email, message, submission time and delivery status, and use them to respond to your request. A copy is sent to our team through Resend.

Your settings. The games and publishers on your watchlist, your alert threshold, an optional Telegram chat id, and an API key if you generated one.

Your subscription status. When you buy a plan, Paddle tells us the status, plan name, billing dates and its own customer and subscription identifiers. Card details never reach our servers — Paddle processes the payment and we never see the card.

Server logs. nginx keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, page, user agent) for a short period, used only for diagnosing problems and abuse.

We do not run analytics scripts, advertising trackers or third-party pixels on this site. There is no tracking cookie: we set a sign-in session cookie and a preference cookie that remembers whether you selected Games or Apps.

Where it lives

All account data is stored as plain files on a single virtual server we rent from Kamatera (United States), inside the service directory — not in a third-party database. Backups of that data stay on the same server.

Three processors see fragments of it: Paddle (payment, invoicing and tax — it is the Merchant of Record and an independent controller of your billing data), Resend (delivery of sign-in links and alert emails — it sees your address and the message), and, if you enter a chat id, Telegram (delivery of alerts).

What we do with it

We use your address to sign you in and to send what you asked for: the sign-in link, the alerts you enabled, and rare service notices such as a price change or a planned outage. We do not send marketing email to subscribers who did not ask for it, and we do not sell, rent or share your data with anyone beyond the processors above.

How long

Account data lives as long as your account. Delete it and we remove your profile, watchlist and settings. Records of payments are kept by Paddle for the period its own obligations require, independently of us. Server logs rotate within weeks.

Your rights

Write to support@scalingradar.com and we will, without charge: tell you exactly what we hold about you, correct it, export it, or delete it. Deletion is final and immediate — there is no archive we quietly keep. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
