Privacy notice
Effective October 2, 2026. Last updated November 12, 2026
On this page
This notice covers the wrinkledot.com website, run by Wrinkledot LLC. It also covers Wrinkledot’s web app Cutaribbon, payments for Wrinkledot subscriptions, and the lead data in the web app. Curbadeed and Fixablock have their own Privacy Notices at curbadeed.com/privacy and fixablock.com/privacy, which apply to them instead of this one.
For our mobile apps, each app’s store listing links to the privacy details for that app, including what it collects and whether that’s linked to you or used for tracking. Where an app collects more than this notice describes, its listing says so. If an app lets you create an account, you can delete that account in the app, or by emailing privacy@wrinkledot.com from the account’s email address.
What we collect
Usage information
We count visits and clicks to see which pages help: the page, the site, link or app that sent you, your device and browser type, and your rough location. In the web apps we also count events such as signing in or exporting a list, and which sign-up steps a visit reached. We count with our own tools on Cloudflare and with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which also measures how quickly pages load. We only see totals, and we don’t store IP addresses for counting. The counts never include personal or owner details, email addresses, search text or full browser details.
Our own counts on this website include browsers that send Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, but not automated browsers. On this website, our server also keeps daily totals of page loads (no cookies or identifiers). To count how many different people visit each day, our server makes a code from your network address and browser when a page’s own counter runs in your browser. The code changes every day and is deleted at the end of the day. We don’t store your address, don’t link the code to anything else, and set no cookies. If your browser doesn’t run scripts or you add ?nocount to the address, you aren’t counted. Detailed counts are kept for 13 months, then only monthly totals.
Information you give us
Your email address, and in the web apps, the cities, settings and anything else you add. If you email us, your message and address. Optional answers, such as “How did you hear about us?”. All of these are deleted with the account. Payment details are covered under “If you buy”.
Stored on your device
The public wrinkledot.com pages set no cookies, and the fonts are served from this site itself. The web apps use cookies to keep you signed in, run checkout (Stripe sets its own cookies on its checkout page) and remember a few choices. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and we’ll update this notice before any other kind is used. Visitors who aren’t signed in get no lasting identifiers.
Your browser keeps a few things on your device only: on our public pages, your light or dark choice; and in the app, how lists and maps are shown and the map areas you picked. They aren’t sent to us. Clearing your browser’s site data removes them.
How we use and keep it
To run the service, send what you asked for, keep accounts safe, and measure and improve the products. Account details and anything you add are used only to provide the service to you, under our Terms of Service.
To keep accounts and our data safe, we may check sign-ups and sign-ins with Cloudflare Turnstile, and we keep a short security log: the country and network provider your connection comes from (worked out from your IP address, which we don’t store), and when sign-in codes are sent or fail. We keep this log for 90 days, and the country and network you signed up from for as long as your account exists plus 30 days. We use it only to spot fraud and abuse. Cloudflare’s privacy policy explains how Turnstile handles information.
When a paid plan ends, your account stays as a free account with your data until you delete it, or until it has been inactive for 12 months (see below). Billing and tax records are kept as the law requires. Encrypted backup copies of our databases are kept for up to 13 months, then deleted.
What we never do
- We don’t sell information about visitors or account holders, or share it for advertising.
- We don’t store IP addresses for counting.
- No cross-site tracking or fingerprinting, and no Google Analytics, Firebase or other third-party trackers.
Do Not Track and other browser signals: we don’t track visitors across other websites, and no other company collects information about your activity across websites through ours. So the site works the same way whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track signal. We honor Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends it, we treat it as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of information about you connected to that browser and, if you’re signed in, your account.
Emails you send us: if you email Wrinkledot, your message and address are used to reply to you and to keep records of support and billing requests. They aren’t sold, and are shared only with the providers that deliver our email (see “Who helps us run things”), with our payment processor to resolve a payment dispute, or where the law requires.
Account emails: sign-in codes, receipts, billing and plan notices, and notices about your account or these terms. They’re part of having an account, so they don’t have an unsubscribe link.
Product emails: the lists and alerts a product sends. You can turn any of them off in your settings or with the Unsubscribe link in each one, and you can also reply STOP. We stop right away, and always within 10 business days. To keep a stop in place, we keep a one-way scrambled form of your email address, even after you delete your account.
Updates & tips: on for new accounts unless you turn them off. You can untick the box when you sign up, or turn them off any time in Settings. If you already had an account, we kept the choice you made. We then email you about new cities and features, tips for getting more from the product, and the occasional offer. If you start signing up but don’t finish, we keep your email address and how far you got (when and where on the site you started, what you were looking at, the sign-in codes we sent, your choice on the box, whether our checks flagged the sign-up as automated, the reminders we sent and whether you tapped a link in one; we don’t track whether you open them) so we can help you finish. We may send you up to three reminders, and we delete this whenever you ask (privacy@wrinkledot.com) or when you delete your account. If you unsubscribe from the reminders, they stop for good, and we keep a one-way scrambled form of your email address so we never remind you again, even after deleting the rest. Updates & tips are separate from product, account, billing and security emails. Each one has an Unsubscribe link that works without signing in, and you can turn them off in Settings; we stop right away. We keep which wording you agreed to and when, and we don’t sell your email address or give it to other companies for their marketing.
Delivery records: for each email a web app sends you, we keep a short record of which email it was, when it was sent and whether it was delivered, so we can resend one that didn’t arrive. The record doesn’t keep your email address once the email is sent.
Replies: a reply to one of our emails reaches us like any email (see “Emails you send us” above).
If you buy
On the website
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe; Wrinkledot never sees or stores your full card number. Wrinkledot receives your name, email address, billing country and ZIP code, the card brand and last four digits, and your payment history, and uses them to run your subscription, send receipts and renewal reminders, handle refunds and keep required tax and accounting records. Stripe also screens payments for fraud. Stripe’s privacy policy explains how it handles your information. We keep payment and tax records for as long as tax law requires, usually up to 7 years.
If checkout asks for more, such as a full billing address, a phone number or a business tax ID, we receive that too and use it only for the same purposes.
In our mobile apps, through Apple or Google
If you buy a subscription or item inside one of our mobile apps, Apple or Google processes the payment under its own privacy policy. We don’t receive your card details.
- Apple doesn’t give us your name, email address or payment details. It sends us details of each transaction, such as the product, purchase and expiry dates, price, currency and App Store country, and whether a purchase was refunded or revoked. Apple’s privacy policy explains how Apple handles your information.
- Google gives us details of each order, such as the order number, product, price, taxes and fees, order status and buyer country. We can look up an order by the buyer’s email address in Google’s tools. Google’s privacy policy explains how Google handles your information.
We use these details to give you access to what you bought, to restore purchases, to handle support and refund requests, and for tax and accounting records. Where a product lets one account work across the website and our apps, we also link the purchase to your account, using an identifier we create that doesn’t contain your name or email, so it works when you sign in.
If you’re invited to Wrinkledot Partners
Wrinkledot Partners (partner.wrinkledot.com) is a read-only page for investors and partners we invite. It shows totals for our products, such as accounts, paying customers, revenue, cities and page views, grouped so that no one can be picked out. It never shows anyone's personal information.
If we invite you, we keep your email address, when your invite expires (after 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days), whether you used it, when you joined and when you last opened the page. Invite links and sign-in codes are stored only in scrambled (hashed) form; a sign-in code works for 10 minutes and allows 5 tries, then it's deleted. To stay signed in we set one cookie that lasts 24 hours; there are no analytics or tracking cookies. To stop people guessing codes, we briefly count sign-in attempts by email address and IP address, for at most an hour. We keep a record of when an invite is canceled or access is removed, deleted with your email address 30 days later. An unused invite is deleted soon after it expires, and if your access is removed, your email address is deleted 30 days later. To ask about or delete your information sooner, email privacy@wrinkledot.com.
If your details appear in our lead data
Wrinkledot’s lead products show paying customers information about potential customers, taken only from open government records:
- Cutaribbon: state business-registration records: the business name, industry, town and county, and a named contact or email address when the filing includes one.
These records can include people’s names, for example sole proprietors and business contacts. We don’t include phone numbers or social-media data, and we don’t scrape websites or buy personal data. Our lead data comes from public open-data sources, used under each source’s own terms. We only use sources whose terms allow commercial use without asking for written permission, and we credit each source as its terms require. Where a county or city restricts owner or other personal details, we don’t store or show them; at most we link to that county’s or city’s own page. Customers may use it only to contact the people and businesses in it lawfully, never for credit, employment, housing or insurance decisions.
We keep a record only while it still appears in its public source, and we remove records that are no longer in the public source when we find them. To see what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, or opt out of appearing in the Service, email privacy@wrinkledot.com. We don’t charge for this. We act on opt-out and deletion requests within 15 business days and answer other requests within 45 days. We make this information available to paying Wrinkledot customers, who may use it only as our Terms allow. We don’t knowingly provide it to data brokers or list resellers, and our Terms forbid customers from reselling it. We don’t use data from Facebook, Instagram or other Meta services to build lead records.
Some state privacy laws treat giving customers access to information like this, for payment, as “selling” personal information. Our lead data comes from government records, which California’s privacy law (the CCPA) excludes, and Wrinkledot is below the CCPA’s thresholds. We still honor the requests above for everyone, wherever they live, whether or not a law requires it. If a state’s data broker law applies to us, we’ll register as required.
If you opt out or ask us to delete your record, we remove it from the Service, it stops appearing in customers’ results, and we tell customers who already have it to stop using it and delete it within 10 business days, as our Terms require. We keep a short note of your request so your record isn’t added again.
Contacts that customers upload themselves belong to those customers; we process them only on their behalf. If you’re one of those contacts, we’ll pass your request to the customer and help them answer it.
Who helps us run things
The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical details of each visit, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the pages and protect the site from abuse. Cloudflare’s own privacy policy explains how it handles that information.
Cloudflare hosts the website, the web apps and their databases, counts visits, and sends email from each product’s own address. If that service can’t send a message, Resend, a backup email sender, sends it instead from the same address. Email sent to our @wrinkledot.com addresses is handled by Google Workspace. Stripe handles website payments. Apple and Google handle purchases made in our mobile apps. These providers may process data in the United States and other countries where they operate, and they work under contracts that let them use data only to serve Wrinkledot.
Your choices
If you have an account, you can ask to see, correct, export or delete your information by emailing privacy@wrinkledot.com from your account’s email address. We may ask you to confirm the request from that address. We don’t charge for this and answer within 45 days. We keep records the law requires, such as payment and tax records.
Judges, law enforcement officers and other protected officials can ask us to remove their personal details. We act on those requests within 72 hours. Write to privacy@wrinkledot.com from an address we can reply to, and say which details to remove.
Security
We use encrypted connections everywhere, limit who can access data, and never store full card numbers. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your information, we’ll tell you without unreasonable delay, as the law requires. To report a security issue, email security@wrinkledot.com.
Children
Wrinkledot’s services are for adults and businesses and aren’t directed at anyone under 18. We don’t knowingly collect their information. If you believe we have, email privacy@wrinkledot.com and we’ll delete it.
Questions and changes
Email privacy@wrinkledot.com with any question about this notice or your information, or write to Wrinkledot LLC, 502 W 7th St, Ste 100, Erie, PA 16502, United States.
If this notice changes, the date above will change with it. If we make a material change to how we use information you’ve already given us, we’ll email account holders before it takes effect.
