Hosting and storage
TopCheckout runs on Cloudflare. The pages you load and the data we store — rankings, subscriptions, and inquiries — are hosted and stored on Cloudflare’s infrastructure.
If you subscribe or send an inquiry, we store the email address you gave us and use it only for what you consented to: the monthly digest or a reply to your message. When email sending is configured, messages are delivered through Resend; until then, nothing is sent. Every digest includes an unsubscribe link, and we send a confirmation before activating a subscription.
Cookies and tracking
Sponsored placements may appear and are labeled. We do not set tracking cookies or embed third-party analytics. Fonts and product icons may load from Google services, which receive the network request and its IP address.
Counters
We keep simple aggregate counters, such as how often a page is viewed or an outbound link is clicked. These counters are not linked to your raw IP address or email address, and we don’t build profiles from them.
Abuse prevention
To protect the forms against spam and abuse, requests may be checked against short-lived hashed request identifiers. These expire quickly and are not used to identify you or track you over time.
What we don’t do
We do not sell email addresses to sponsors. Service providers process the information needed to host the site and deliver requested email.
Retention
Aggregate counters are retained for up to 400 days. Expired abuse identifiers are removed during scheduled cleanup. Closed inquiries older than one year are deleted. Subscription and delivery records are retained to manage consent, prevent duplicate sends and respect opt-outs; request removal using the contact form.
Your requests
For privacy questions or requests about your email address or an inquiry you sent, contact us via the contact page and we’ll do what the stored data allows.
