Privacy policy

Rip Fence is a cut list planner for sheet goods. This page explains what information the site collects, what it is used for, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect only what the planner needs to work, we do not sell it, and we do not show ads.

You can use Rip Fence without an account

Planning, printing, and exporting work without signing in. In that case your project is kept only in your own browser’s storage, on your device. It is not sent to us.

What we collect when you sign in

• Your email address. It identifies your account and is where we send sign-in codes.
• Your name and profile picture, if you sign in with Google. Google shares these along with your email address. We ask Google for nothing else and cannot see your Google password, mail, contacts, or files.
• The projects you save. Their names, materials, stock, parts, and settings, so you can open them again on any device.
• Sign-in records. When you sign in we store a session along with the IP address and browser type it came from. This keeps you signed in and helps protect your account.
• Whether you have bought Rip Fence. If you pay, we store that your account owns it, along with the payment reference from our payment processor. We never see or store your card number.

Information from Google

If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account. We use them only to create your Rip Fence account and sign you in. We do not use this information for advertising, do not sell it, and do not share it with anyone other than the companies listed below that help us run the site.

Cookies and browser storage

We set a cookie to keep you signed in. We also keep a few things in your browser’s storage so the planner works the way you left it: an unsaved project, your choice of inches or millimeters, and whether you dismissed a message. We do not use advertising cookies or track you across other sites.

How we use your information

• To run the planner and save your projects.
• To sign you in and keep your account secure.
• To take payment and honor refunds.
• To reply when you write to us.
• To find and fix problems with the site.

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Companies that help us run the site

We share information with these services only as far as each needs to do its job:

• Railway hosts the site and its database, in the United States.
• Stripe handles payments. Your card details go straight to Stripe and are covered by its privacy policy.
• Resend delivers sign-in emails, so it sees your email address.
• Umami counts visits and a few actions, such as printing a plan, so we can see how the site is used. It sets no cookies and does not identify you or follow you to other sites.
• Sentry receives a report when something on the site breaks: the error, the page it happened on, and your browser type. It helps us find and fix problems.
• Google, if you choose to sign in with Google.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and saved projects until you delete them or ask us to. You can delete any project yourself from My projects. Records of payments are kept as long as tax and accounting rules require.

Your choices

You can ask for a copy of your information, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account and everything in it. You can delete your account yourself at the bottom of My projects. For anything else, write to aubrey@ripfence.com from the email address on your account and we will take care of it. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law, and we will honor them.

Children

Rip Fence is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will post the new version here and update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will also try to let account holders know by email.
