Your files and privacy

Feedstead reads and compares your supplier and Shopify files in your browser. Importing a file does not upload it to Feedstead, Stripe, or an AI service.

What stays on your device

Your source files, comparisons, and reviewed updates stay in the current browser session. Reloading or closing the page clears that working session. Your original files remain wherever you saved them, and any downloaded updates remain in your downloads.

Saved client profiles and supplier configurations stay in this browser, separately for each account and for use without an account. They contain names, column mappings and pricing rules, not copies of your source spreadsheets. Signing in on another device does not transfer them. Export a configuration backup before clearing browser data or moving devices.

Account information

Free comparisons do not require an account. Accounts use a username and password. Cloudflare hosts the account service, which stores your username, a salted password hash, hashed recovery code and session records. An essential cookie keeps you signed in.

Feedstead stores the link between your account ID and subscription workspace. It does not store your password or recovery code in plain text. Subscriptions connect only when you choose to link a workspace. Account sessions expire after 30 days; signing out revokes the current session, and account recovery revokes all previous sessions.

Subscription and payment information

Stripe handles checkout, payment details, receipts, and the billing portal. Feedstead stores the references needed to connect your workspace to its subscription, along with the subscription status and paid access period. Feedstead does not receive or store your full payment card number.

Workspaces that still use a recovery key have an essential access cookie. Anyone holding an active key can use that workspace and open its billing portal. Connecting the workspace to an account retires the key and clears this cookie; afterward, sign in to restore access.

Clearing browser data removes local sign-in data, the access cookie and saved configurations. It does not cancel a subscription. See subscriptions and access for cancellation and recovery instructions.

Hosting and support

Cloudflare hosts Feedstead and its subscription service. Hosting, authentication and payment providers receive connection information, such as an IP address, when your browser connects to their services. Feedstead uses temporary request counters to limit repeated account, billing and recovery attempts.

Feedstead counts app visits, example openings and completed comparisons in daily totals to understand whether the tool is useful. These counts contain no visitor identifiers, account details, URLs, file names or spreadsheet contents. We retain the totals for comparison over time, respect your browser's Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control settings, and use no advertising trackers. Your imported spreadsheets are not sent for AI model training.

If you choose to email support, the information you include is shared through email. Describe the problem first. Remove confidential rows and business data before choosing to share an example, and never send passwords, recovery keys or payment card details.
