Privacy

Last updated 14 November 2026

We collect as little as we can, and we never sell your data. This page says exactly what we keep and why. Questions or requests: go@buymecredits.com.

If you're a builder

  • From GitHub, when you sign in: your GitHub user ID, username, name, photo, bio and primary verified email address. Your name, photo, bio and username appear on your public page. Your email isn't shown to anyone.
  • Your public projects and star count are read from GitHub's public API to show on your page.
  • Usage: for each AI request we record the model, token counts, cost and time, so we can charge your balance correctly.
  • We don't store your prompts or the AI's replies. They pass through our server to the AI provider and back.
  • Your key is stored only in scrambled form, so we can't read it.
  • Page views: we count visits to your page and where they came from (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, GitHub, other or direct). We don't store visitors' IP addresses or identities.

If you buy credits for someone

  • Your name, if you give one, shows on the builder's page. Choose "Buy anonymously" and we don't store a name at all.
  • Your message, if you send one, is private to the builder unless they choose to post it as an idea.
  • Your email address comes from checkout. We keep it privately, never show it, and only use it to tell you if an idea you backed ships.
  • Card details are handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store them.

Cookies and browser storage

  • One cookie keeps builders signed in, and a short-lived one protects the GitHub sign-in step.
  • Your browser remembers a few small things locally, such as which share steps you've ticked off. These never leave your device.
  • No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics, no tracking across sites.

Who helps us run the service

  • Vercel: hosts the site and routes AI requests through Vercel AI Gateway.
  • AI providers such as Anthropic: receive the prompts you send, to produce replies, under their own privacy terms.
  • Stripe: processes payments as the seller of record.
  • Neon: our database.
  • GitHub: sign-in and public profile data.
  • Resend: sends our emails.

How long we keep data, and your rights

  • We keep your account data while your account exists. Purchase records are kept as long as the law requires for accounting.
  • You can ask us to show you, correct or delete your data at any time. Email go@buymecredits.com and we'll handle it.
