privacy policy

last updated: 2026-07-29

this policy explains what tethered (tetheredlink.com) collects, how it's used, and what control you have over it. tethered is part of the manymoats family of products and this policy is written to be honest and clear about what we collect and why.

1. what we collect

• account information : your email address, login credentials, and profile details you provide when you create an account.
• usage & telemetry : basic activity data (pages you build, links you add, feature usage) so we can operate and improve the product.
• payment information : handled entirely by Stripe. we never see or store your card number; we receive only what's needed to manage your subscription (plan, status, billing history).
• the links and pages you build : the content of your tethered page, since that's the product itself.

2. how we use it

we use collected data to run the service, provide support, improve features, and communicate important account or billing notices. we do not sell your data.

3. cookies & local storage

tethered uses cookies and browser local storage for functionality, keeping you signed in, remembering preferences, and basic session handling. some things, like your preferences and session, stay in your browser; the data we do collect to run and improve the product is listed above, and we're upfront about all of it.

4. sharing

we share data only with the service providers needed to run tethered (for example, hosting and payment processing), and only to the extent needed for them to perform that function. we do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. your rights

you can export or erase from Account → Your data when signed in, or ask us by emailing support@manymoats.com. we'll respond and handle the request directly.

6. data retention

we keep account and usage data for as long as your account is active, plus a reasonable period afterward to handle disputes, comply with legal obligations, or as described in our refund & cancellation policy (paused accounts retain data for 12 months). you can request earlier deletion at any time.

Product usage counting (Loop)

We load a small first-party script on this site that records basic product-usage events (which surface you used, which action, and when, plus a random device identifier in your browser storage). Events are sent to our servers and may be associated with your account if you are signed in. They do not include document text, prompts, or clipboard contents. Sync is on by default; if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we treat counting as off unless you later choose otherwise. We do not use third-party advertising analytics (no gtag / pixels).

Service providers (subprocessors)

We share data only with providers needed to run the services, under agreements that limit their use of it:

• Stripe : payment processing (we never see full card numbers).
• Supabase : authentication and data storage.
• Google Cloud / Firebase : hosting and backend infrastructure.
• OpenRouter / model hosts : AI features you explicitly request.
• fal.ai : image/video generation you explicitly request.
• Resend : transactional email when the product sends mail.

Access, export, and delete

When signed in, use Account → Your data to export a JSON package or request account erase. Erase is honest about partial stages (billing receipts may be retained for legal duty; biometric weights are purged when that path is fully wired). You can also email privacy@manymoats.com or support@manymoats.com.

7. children

tethered is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. security

we use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.

9. changes to this policy

we may update this policy from time to time. material changes will be posted here with a new "last updated" date.
