Privacy Policy

Last updated 28 August 2026. Draft pending legal review.

What we collect

Account data (email, password hash, company name), the product data you enter (GTINs, descriptions, e-label content), and payment records processed by Paystack — we never see or store card numbers. Server logs record IP addresses for security and abuse prevention.

What we deliberately don't collect — e-label & scan privacy

E-label pages served for your products carry no tracking, no cookies, no scripts and no analytics — enforced in software, per Regulation (EU) 2021/2117's requirement that no user data be collected or tracked via the e-label. Consumers who scan your products are never profiled by us.

Scan statistics shown to producers are aggregate daily counters only: one number per product per day. We do not store IP addresses, device details, or any per-scan records for analytics — there is nothing to profile, by design.

How data is used

To operate the service: hosting your product pages, resolving your QR codes, billing, and transactional email (verification, password resets, invitations). We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing.

Processing & storage

Data is hosted on our own infrastructure. Payments are processed by Paystack. Transactional email is delivered via our email relay provider. We process personal information in accordance with POPIA (South Africa) and, where applicable, GDPR.

Cookies

The application uses a session cookie to keep you logged in and a CSRF token to protect forms. The public website and e-label pages set no cookies.

Your rights

You can export or delete your data by contacting support@paqlink.com. Deleting a product removes its resolver record; deleting your account removes your personal information within 30 days, subject to legal retention requirements for billing records.
