Privacy policy

Who runs this site

Stack Mapper is owned and managed by Vining Automations. For privacy questions or requests, email viningautomations@gmail.com.

What we collect

You can use the mapper without giving us your name or email. We only receive contact details if you send one of these forms:

• Get a free review of this stack: your work email (required), and your company, locations, employees and franchise brands if you add them, plus the systems you picked and your time estimate.
• Correct or update this integration: what's wrong (required), the connection it concerns, and your email if you add it.
• Request a franchise brand: the brand name (required), and your notes and email if you add them.

When you pick systems in the mapper, those picks go to our server to calculate your results. We don't save them unless you send the review form.

Like most websites, our hosting provider may record technical details such as your IP address and browser type when you visit.

How we use it and who receives it

We use what you send to respond to your request: reviewing your stack and telling you what to fix first, correcting a connection, or considering a brand. Vining Automations handles these requests.

The review form has a box, unticked by default, that lets vendors of the systems you picked contact you. If you tick it, we may pass your details to those vendors, and a vendor may pay us a referral fee. If you leave it unticked, we don't share your submission with any vendor.

These services help us run the site:

• Airtable stores form submissions.
• Vercel hosts the site, so it handles requests to it, including your picks and technical details. Its analytics count page views and a few actions, such as sending the review form or clicking the booking link. They use no cookies and record nothing you typed.
• Google Fonts supplies the site's fonts, so Google receives your IP address when your browser loads them.
• Calendly runs the booking page linked from the site. If you book a call, what you enter there is covered by Calendly's own policy.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

Cookies and browser storage

The site doesn't set its own cookies or use advertising trackers. If you choose night view, your browser remembers that choice in its local storage, on your device only.

How long we keep it

We keep form submissions for 24 months, then delete them unless we still need them to finish your request or meet a legal duty.

Your choices

The email field is optional on the correction and brand forms, and you don't have to send any form to use the mapper. To ask us to access, correct or delete what you've sent, or to withdraw your agreement to vendor contact, email viningautomations@gmail.com.

Paid services

Anything you share with us during a paid engagement, such as a Stack Audit, is covered by the agreement for that engagement.

Children

The site is meant for businesses and isn't directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and its date.
