Privacy notice

The Sponsored Truth is operated by Rajkumar Chinthala, who decides how the information below is used. Email nikarauk@gmail.com.

What we collect and why

• What you type into the order form: product name, link, description and payment amount. We use these to write, publish and display your story. They appear publicly once published.
• Rewrite directions: used once to rewrite your story and not kept.
• A scrambled form of your IP address: kept for up to two days to stop the order form being abused, then deleted.
• Payment: handled entirely by Stripe. We never see your card details. We keep Stripe's reference for your payment and the amount.

We do not ask for or store your name or email address on this site, and we use no advertising trackers. We count page views with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you. Your browser keeps one small local note so you can return to an unpublished story.

Who else handles it

• Stripe (payments)
• Anthropic (the AI service that drafts stories from your product name, description and directions)
• Vercel (hosting and page-view counts) and Neon (database)
• Google Fonts (typefaces; your browser requests them from Google)

Some of these providers process data outside the UK.

How long we keep it

Published stories and their order details are kept while the site operates. Orders that are started but never paid are deleted after two days.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the information we hold about your order, or ask us to correct or delete it, using the contact details above. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
